Going back to [the original post in the original thread](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-genuine-caption-contest-part-1/915731), from 2020 > The rules should be simple: > > - Somebody posts a picture. > - Players submit their caption proposals over the next 24 hours. > - At the end of the 24 hour period, the person who posted the picture declares the winner. > - The winner posts the new picture, and so on. > - If a winner is not declared after the 24 hour period, or if the winner fails to show up, anyone can post a new picture for the game to continue. Since @PlaceboTarget devised the game and the rules, let’s ask for a ruling. ---
