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.
