"The Game Campaign!!"

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrreetings, FOG-ers!

There is a lot of ‘buzz’ surrounding this next election and but some of you seem to think it’s a little one sided. Well, I don’t think so, and this is why I am running for Notable!

"You’re Joking!" You might say... "Look at the competition"

Well, who is the competition?!

"Er-No...?"

What in the name EIDOS is an Er-No?!

Do you really think that this topic-flooding, fast-connection boasting, know-it-all-wannabe will benefit the FOG in anyway?! I say NO... he has flooded before and he'll flood again, Er-No is just after a title and he doesn't contribute well enough to SR...

So he posts a lot in the FOG but a lot of it is nonsense and he abuses Newbies... "So what!" You might say but do you realise that these Newbies are the future of SR? They will represent Special Reserve in years to come...

Ask some Newbies... I respect Newbies and in turn get the same respect back, just ask Bonus... when he was a Newbie... Quazimodo, or Time_Warp when he was. They are all great people. I am not just after a title, I care about the future of Special Reserve, and I want to see people who come during my time here and when I’ve gone, enjoy it as much as I do.

With Er-No as a representative and someone to look up to, they will feel uncomfortable and leave or maybe worse, stay and lower the standards in the Forums! Er-No isn't fit to be a Notable. He might come out with a joke or two, but who doesn't! And look, Er-No has contributed a mere 1 cheat to UKcheats and a mere 8 reviews to UKreviews... compared to my 25 Reviews and 40 cheats I think that, for a would-be Notable his totals are pretty lame. So the next time you need a cheat the chances are it will be from me rather than from Er-No! And I am not just 100% Nintendo, I like and respect the company as one might their country, but I don’t let this get in the way of providing Special Reserve with information regarding other consoles… Just recently I won Gameaday for donating MULTIPLE Playstation 2 and Dreamcast cheats. I also have posted PRO-Microsoft topics to liven the FOG community and indirectly welcome any followers of the X-Box or ‘fans’ of Microsoft.

Do I think Er-No is a suitable representative and worthy of the title Notable?! In a word... No!

There is no-one here I dislike... You're all an inspiration to me, and for me to continue to post the quality material I do, being a Notable would definitely help me along. Look at the number of cheats and reviews I have written for the benefit of Special Reserve!

Also, I don't show any bias against games companies that are competing against Nintendo... You have witnessed Er-No's bias towards Microsoft and the X-Box respectively. To owners of the X-Box who want to mix into the FOG community, having Er-No as a Notable and representative would only deter them and take another brick from the foundation of Special Reserve's future.

I am not just all talk, I have befriended many people in the FOG and you, yes you, reading this, are probably one of them. I can converse with Newbies, Regulars and Notables alike, my posts are good, I don’t use net-speak and I am all for promoting Special Reserve and the Future of Gaming as much as possible. It’s simple friends. Without me, some of you might not still be here. I have befriended you and stuck up for you. Now I need your backing. Please.

One Election. One Date. One Name

Vote ‘The Game’, this Election!

Thank You.

Well said!

That's exactly what I meant RBS, I know it's a y, I just hit the wrong key.

And should that have been Abbrev.

I can certainly understand simple spelling mistakes like Gronti's, it's just when a post is littered with 'Net Speak and a complete absence of commas and full stops that it annoys me.

Of course you could just take the time to type the whole thing, seeing as it would be bad grammar to constantly shorten everything. Would you know what I meant if I came up to you and said (vocally of course) "Use SPAG you SOB!".

It would sound ridiculous and it's the sort of thing that should be laughed at. We aren't doing real-time chat here so we have plenty of time to type full words. Abbreviations may be acceptable sometimes but you can't assume that everyone will know what they are.

Man I'd hate to be you!

What is SPAG anyway? SPelling And Grammar?

You have to realise that a lot of people have difficulty typing the right things and seeing as everyone has a unique personallity and brain it means that some people have more difficulty remembering spellings of things while others may have it as second nature. Not to mention the possibility of such problems as Dislexyia.
