Right, That's it. Captioning is now over. The Vote begins first thing tomorrow (Voting Server's time) and ends last thing on Thursday (Voting Server's time). The link is http://whiting.no-ip.info/andman/hoc

My congrats go to all who captioned. Since there was a significantly reduced number of captions, all here (except for either:
a)Multiple captions by one person, I have just chosen one of these.
and b) The ones lifted from spaceballs, Very funny but only your own material counts.)

My thanks go to WCS, who are hosting the voting website for me. For anybody in the UK who is interested (They haven't made International Sales possible yet I'm afraid), their main website is http://whiting.no-ip.info

Once again, congrats to all.

Anybody who disagrees with any of this violently can do so. But no matter what you do, "You can't take the sky from me".

My apologies to you all. I am afraid that I cannot guarantee that the results of round #4 are entirely accurate. Someone who has been following this game, but doesn't like firefly has been spamming the voting site with votes. He has said that he plans to join this site and discredit me because I was removing his extra votes through the database admin system. I would like to make it clear that I am running this thread because we all like a good laugh, and want our favourite to be crowned victorious. Just because I have the ability to rig the votes, doesn't mean that I do. I don't. For anyone who seems a little unsure, I am going to reveal a little trick that some of you may or may not know. If you load up the results for any round, at the end of the URL (web address), you will see that it says ?round= with a number. If you change that number to the round of the current vote, you can see the current standings. If you so wish to check on me, feel free.

Until now, I have left it up to you to be responsible enough to only place one vote. Because of this threat, I am going to reset the vote count for round #4, and start it again next week. I am also going to upload a newer version sometime. The new version will require you to sign in. Anyone who wants to be able to vote will need to message me. I will make a user account for anyone who wants to vote. To message me, you will need to visit the screen http://fireflyfans.net/showprofile.asp?un=andman

I am sorry to do this, but needs must as the devil drives. I have tried to avoid putting in a sign in system, but I cannot find any other way to prevent you from voting more than once that he would be able to get around.

I will post a new thread to let you know what is happening. Once again, my apologies.

So we are not to use crossover references?

And not to use an Inara line in Jayne's mouth
or similar shifts?

Some of these are the very best...

Not sure what you mean, but allow me to clarify.

Lifting a whole dialog and just changing the names is not going to be counted (If I recognise what it's from).

If you take varying lines from things, and mix 'em together, go ahead, that's allowed.

Hey Andman. You gave it a whirl and it's been fun for all involved (for me anyway, I probably shouldn't speak for everyone). But if it's getting to out of control for you, no one expects you to devote your life to policing the board. Just giving you a virtual high-five and sayin thanks.

Mal: If I'm not back in an hour, you come, and you rescue me.
Zoe: What? And risk my ship?

Sorry if I made a problem for anyone.

Was fun.

I'll be in my bunk.

I have only just realised that I never actually got round to starting the vote for this round again. I do apologise for this. Therefore, although it is late, I am restarting it to run at the same time as the vote for Round #5. I have decided to leave the website as is for the time being, and will change it if it does seem that people are taking advantage of being able to vote freely (as in no limit). The idea of this is to come up with your own comedy to give people laughs. It's not about the winning.

The vote for Rounds #4&5 will start on Wednesday the 27th of June (Server time) and run until the end of Thursday 28th of June (Server time)

If anybody feels that more time is needed for voting, please feel free to either post it in any HERO OF CAPTION thread, or message me from the page - http://fireflyfans.net/showprofile.asp?un=andman

Once again, my apologies for not doing this when I said that I would. The website is still available at the old address, or from Whiting Computer Systems New address - http://www.wcsrepairs.co.uk/andman/hoc (Ignore the address in the thread for Round #5, that was a temporary measure, the website is staying at the WCS address)

Good luck to all in the vote, and once again once again, sorry for not doing this before.
