Weekly Contests Winners (Weeks of Nov 1st - Nov 14th)

A record number of captions for this update! And a couple of strange ones - one thanked us for information using the caption submission box, and the other submitted a spell of some sort. We're not here to judge... anything besides the Screenshot & Caption contests, that is... Congratulations to the winners, and honorable mentions!

It's been a busy couple of weeks (How 'bout them debates, eh?), and it's now time for another humor update.

Despite there being only one winner, there were a few Caption Contest entries that made us laugh out loud. They say that laughter is the best medicine, so I say keep the funny entries coming! Flu season is amost here and healthcare is expensive.

This Week's Screenshot Winner: DragonKen

 

Even though we've been getting a ton of Caption entries, we're still not getting nearly enough Screenshot submissions. If you're the kind of person who wants to win a $50 PlayerAuctions Coupon or a $20 Amazon Gift Certificate, then you're the kind of person whose screenshot we want! Just click the nice link there, and submit your screenshot! Or you can send it directly to contest@playerauctions.com. Or not. Whatever. It's your life.

If you want to be almost-almost famous, you know what to do.

Weekly Contests Winners (Weeks of August 19th - Sep 16th)

Along with the winner updates for this week, we wanted to bring attention to a new addition to the Screenshot & Caption Contests. On more than 1 occasion, we've received similar captions, or even the exact same captions (word for word!), from different people for a specific screenshot. We think it's a funny coincidence and have decided to add this feature on the Screenshot and Caption Contests starting this week and called it "Popular Captions". You can find this week's Popular Captions below the Honorable Mentions.

Now on to the funny!

Previous Winning Screenshot (by DragonKen):

dw4rd’s Winning Caption: As nervous as Jim was with his first attempt at this stunt it was a comforting for him to know that no matter how badly things went, the participants were already dead.

If you think you're funny (ha-ha funny, and not one of them creepers), then submit your screenshots and captions today! If you're naturally humorous and you feel funny today, we'd love to see or hear what you've got! If you just feel funny, you might want to visit the doctor and get that checked. We probably won't want to see or hear what you've got in that case.

Weekly Contests Winners (Weeks of July 4th - August 18th)

Due to scheduling conflicts (for real this time! No, really!), the Weekly Contests were not updated for a while. But the good news is we received a record amount of captions within that time, so we're including more honorable mentions for this update!

This Week's Screenshot Winner: DragonKen

 

Remember the good ol' days when you'd get on your mount and bully your friends into helping you practice for the Equestrian events at the Olympics? Ah, yes. Good times.

By the way, even with our previous post, 'Looking For: Screenshot Submissions', we still didn't get nearly enough entries as we'd expected. Come on, guys! The easiest $20 or $50 you'll ever make is right at your fingertips. You know you want to "PrtSc". Just "PrtSc" already, and submit an entry. What are you waiting for, eh?

To enter the Weekly Caption Contest, all you have to do is send your caption for this week's Winning Screenshot and then maybe do a jig. But the latter is not compulsory and won't increase your chances of winning, I'm afraid.

Looking For: Screenshot Submissions

If you have a humor-inspiring or ridiculous screenshot, then this post is for you!

We are looking to get more screenshot submissions from the community for the Weekly Screenshot Contest. We've been receiving many captions for the winning screenshots, but not nearly enough screenshot submissions. It is so easy to enter the Weekly Screenshot Contest and have the chance to win a $50 PlayerAuctions Coupon or a $20 Amazon.com Gift Certificate. Simply email your screenshot submissions to contest@playerauctions.com and you're done! There's no limit to how many screenshots you can submit either!

They say a picture's worth a thousand words; in this case, a winning "picture" is worth at least $20, or better yet, $50! So what are you waiting for? Submit your screenshot now!

Weekly Contests Winners (Weeks of June 17th – June 27th, and June 28th - July 4th)

Due to real life stuff  project deadlines  a week-long hangover scheduling conflicts, the previous Weekly Contest winners didn’t get any spotlight on our Blog. But fear not! For this post, we’ll do a two-week update to make up for the no-post previous week, as well as to announce this week's recent winners.

The winners of the Screenshot & Caption Contests have won either a $50 PlayerAuctions Coupon or a $20 Amazon Gift Certificate, and if you like the sound of either, join in the funny!

Screenshot Winner: kingofburning

 

This week's winning screenshot looks promising. Can't tell you how many times that's happened to me, but I'd be lying if I said it was more than 4. What? I like to pretend I'm Santa. But I digress.

Now, remember – there’s absolutely no rule against sending more than one caption or screenshot. We’ve had very few screenshot submissions, so it’s the easiest $20 or $50 you’ll probably ever make without some racy dancing and a lot of beer.

Why not send in a winning caption or screenshot, and buy something on Amazon.com for $20? Or better yet, why not get a $50 PlayerAuctions coupon for your winning submission and use it for your next gold, account, or powerleveling purchase? You know you want to.

So get cracking and send in your captions and screenshots asap. Don’t miss out!
