Shame you quoted it, really.

Fixed it for you so you don't look like a numptie for spelling a name wrong that no-one knew if you were right or not anyway.

Kubica: Alright, Kimi, for ten points ... name seven different types of pasta.
Kimi: Uh, spagetthi ... fettuccine ... um, um ... penne, macaroni, rigatoni ... um, cannelloni and ... um ... ravioli! Ravioli!

I'm sure I don't really need to say it but I will anyway.

Once a round is open, the last one closes. So no more captions for Round One, you can still vote and I'll do the scores for that tomorrow afternoon (BST).

Congratulations to Omnis for winning the first round of the season 👍


On the scoring system - I did try and make it so I gave 39 points out, but I couldn't work out to exactly 39 points. I've done what I think is fairest, in that the No1 vote is more valuable. I'm doing it kind of like football (soccer) points, vote 1 = 3 points (these are my mini points not the points you see above) vote 2 = 1 point and obviously no vote gets you nothing...

I'd like feedback on this, it's the first round so we can change things fairly easily. Okay how I've done it? Or shall both votes be worth 1 (mini) point?

I did some fiddling and I couldn't get 39 points out, only 38 or 40. Everyone who got a point had at least 1, No1 vote. Again up to you, thoughts and feedback would be good.

I've updated the first post too.

Voting for Round Two is open

 

[Alex.]

Sureshot, I think you forgot I got a vote, here: 👍

1 - DQuaN
2 - Alex

Vote:

Dquan
No Vote

 

[Sureboss]

I didn't forget the vote Alex. You didn't have enough votes to get above the others, and all the ones who only had one vote who got a point each all had got a No1 vote as opposed to your No2 vote. You were 11th in that round.


Round Two

Kimi hears that Max's next party has just been cancelled.

"Kimi, I said Pole dance not pole dance!"

Kimi Raikkonen: I want a red hat like Kubica has, it's not fair!
Ferrari guy: Now, Kimi; you already have a red car, red overalls, and a red face...
Robert Kubica: ...Ha ha, you can't have it.

Kimi: This was how I drove in Melbourne..

Ferrari guy Man, I still cant believe Felipe hasn't finished a race yet
Kimi Tell me about it, shoulda seen his face a minute ago, it was like:

Kimi: Sir, Robert poked me in the eye!
Robert: No I didn't.
Kimi: Yes he did!
Robert: No I didn't.

*ad infinitum*

That bloody Ron Dennis swapped my contact lens fluid for superglue....

Ferrari guy: You were doing those donuts with the engine turned down, right?
Kimi: .....****!
Robert: You berk.

Ferrari Guy: So, wanna re-enact Mosley's scene? Kubica will play the Poles, and I wi...
Kimi: *facepalm*

"There's Something About Kimi"

The quote will have screwed the above up, refer to his post (p126 iirc) for full effect.

Stefano Domenicali: "No, you look fine"
Kimi: "Are you sure, make face feels funny, like its all puffy and hot right here."
Robert: "Kimi, you look great, lets pose for the podium photos"

Kubica: Alright, Kimi, for ten points ... name seven different types of pasta.
Kimi: Uh, spagetthi ... fettuccine ... um, um ... penne, macaroni, rigatoni ... um, cannelloni and ... um ... ravioli! Ravioli!

Does anyone think I'm going too fast? It's only been a week and we're about to start another round. So 2 rounds a week, given that the competition traditionally (and will do so this year) runs for the length of the F1 season that'll make it another 7 months. So roughly that's 28 weeks, which would mean something like 56 rounds...

Ideally it wants to be one round per week, doesn't it?

Edit (I've lost count):

Wow, that was a bad round of captions! Alex forfeited his second vote (though he can change that if he wants)

 

[Venari]

1. daan
2. Bee

 

[daan]

It did seem a bit quick, and Roo has 2 entries. That shouldn't happen, and he should be asked to pick one.

1 - TheCracker
2 - Roo (his first one)

 

[Alex.]

Ok Sureshot 👍

However I do realise this was a formula one caption game and we try to have similarities to the sport, but in my opinion a vote was a vote. I dont agree with the order thing (vote 1 and 2) because who's to say FatassBR found the other one funnier? Oh well.

Thanks anyway

 

[Roo]

Bah, thwarted. Whoops, my mistake... we aren't in the off season practice anymore

Scratch the Famine one.

1. Do you race?
2. nitro_2005 (purely for correct usage of the word 'berk')

Is there a picture ready for the third round?

I am.

I do actually vote number one and number two according to which I liked the most. But I don't mind if both are given the same amount of points.

As for the rounds' length I think there should be a new one whenever there's a new race. I thought you were rushing things up because we already had two races so far and the third one is coming this weekend and you wanted to keep up with it.

 

[Sureboss]

Okay, I've got rid of Roo's 2nd entry (I can't confirm rumours that he will receive a stop-go penalty).

Alex, fair point. I'll put something in the opening post, because having talked with TM about the competition he said it helps to have two votes to decrease the amount of ties. It's your competition, I thought the idea of one vote being worth more than the others was a good idea. Thoughts from other participants?

Felipe, sounds like a good idea. Then everyone knows when it will be up. How about on say the Monday after the race a picture from the weekend is put up, then we have say till the Wednesday to caption and from then till the Saturday to vote? I think it's good idea to get into a regular pattern, so I don't have to update my sig every 3rd day.

One a race sounds good to me, folks?

And didn't Chris run it on a 2 points for first, one for second system last season?

 

[Sureboss]

I don't know, Metar. Do you think that would work better than 3 for first and 1 for second?

 

[livemusic]

1 - Bee
2 - Do You Race?

 

[TheCracker]

1. DQuaN
2. Sureshot

 

[Sureboss]

I agree with Metar, I am going to do it so the first vote is worth 2 and the second is worth 1. I think that's fairer rather than having 1st vote worth triple of 2nd vote.

 

[Touring Mars]

Incase you're wondering how I worked out the points last year, this is roughly how I did it...

I totalled up the votes and assigned each person a position - people who shared positions shared the total number of points for the number of positions they took up... for example;

1. Pupik
2= daan, Sureshot
4. TM
5= Spec, DQuaN
7. Venari
8. Freddy Cougar

In this case, daan and Sureshot occupy positions 2 & 3, so 14 points would be shared between them, eg. 7 pts each i.e. (6+8)/2=7. TM would get 5 points for 4th spot, as per normal...

For Spec and DQuaN, who would share points for 5th and 6th, I'd round UP to 4pts each... i.e. they should get 3.5 pts each since (4+3)/2=3.5, but I didn't do half points... so I'd give them both 4 pts and Freddy Cougar would lose his point. Venari would then get 2 pts (for being 7th)... hence...

1. Pupik - 10
2= daan, Sureshot - 7
4. TM - 5
5= Spec, DQuaN - 4
7. Venari - 2

Total points = 10+7+7+5+4+4+2=39

In the event of too many people coming in the Top 8, I'd use a secret 'casting vote' to decide the winner... e.g.

1. Pupik - 10
2= daan, Sureshot - 7
4. TM - 5
5= Spec, DQuaN - 4
7= Venari, Freddy Cougar, My Cat, Famine, Metar

7th place would have just 2 points to share, so you could give any two of them 1pt, but for the rest it would be tough tittie... it is still 'fair' because you are simply taken one extra 'casting' vote for yourself!


P.S. It may seem a bit anal having 39 points (like the real F1 comp) every week, but it really helps since you can work out if you have made a mistake when you add up the points... i.e. after Week 7, for example, you should be able to total up the leader board to 273 points etc. If it doesn't, you've made a mistake somewhere...

 

[Sureboss]

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks TM. In the 1st round two people were tied in 2nd so I gave them 8 each, that system works better though. I'll certainly implement some of that in my future results. Thanks, Chris.

Voting is closed now chaps.

*Awaiting results.

EDIT: Going on TMs input I can change the first rounds results to accomodate the 'missing point'. The same people score points, but it just means it'll be the same for how I do the rest of the season. Thoughts?

Second Round
1st. Bee - 10 points
2nd. TheCracker - 8 points
3rd. DQuaN - 6 points
=4th. daan, Do you race? - 5 points
6th. Sureshot - 3 points
=7th. nitro_2005, SUPERNUMBER - 1 point
