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.

The game is probably right, personal opinions get a better look in for gameaday because they aren't just stats grouped together from other sites and placed on a post. Of course he's wrong about not getting many opinions (in my personal opinion of course). Most of the posts that are made are opinions (almost all) and the only other ones are usually to inform. This is also true about GAD winners, seeing as many reviews also win which are usually entirely about the way the reviewer feels about the game being reviewed.
As long as you keep posting about things you feel strongly about, your chances will increase since you will be able to write more sensible things. Oh and don't set out to win Gameaday, set out to get your point accross and the GAD will flow to you.
Of course this is just my personal opinion and has no bearing on the selection process of GAD (except possibly to make the selectors show me who decides by doing the opposite of what I said, but maybe that's my plan! AHA!).

Yeah Gam, who is Gam?!
Anyway RBS, I don't really care about this election, my campaign is all a joke really, although all of us have to admit, Notableship would be pretty self-satisfying!
I will end up voting for Er-No, pb or maybe Sheepy anyway!
I am just trying to help Dave with his topic!
So Dave? What are you going to write about....

It's really about what's in your heart. I know that sounds a bit Pokémon-ish, but it's true. Anyone who tries to win Gameaday with a proper, thought out topic RARELY succeeds, although it si possible!
You might be best with a personal opinion. We don't get many of those very often, people have views but they hardly ever express them!
Try giving a personal opinion on the Gameboy Advance and why you think it'lll be so good. Practice makes perfect!
Game
Are you SURE you don't want to talk about a specific thing!
Also, entering cheats is a good idea... Find a good cheat site like cheatcc.com and compare the cheats SR have to the ones on the other site... add the ones that aren't, as many as you can.. newer games are best, like just released or just about to be released PS2, GBA or Dreamcast games!
Good Luck

Okay, so what do you want to write about?
Future? Past? Value? Gameplay? Past compared to present? The replay value of sports games? or Other... ^_^
