The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
This is an intentionally tricky competition. You have to create the best virtual newbie
1. Think of a user name and a tagline to go with it.
2. Delete the cookie for your normal sign up if you have selected "remember me". You can sign up your new name either by scrolling down the left side strip to REGISTER WITH US - DISCUSSIONS, or by signing up as a newbie as you make your first "reply" post.
3. Sign up as a new user, giving your proper name and address. You DON'T need to give your real e-mail address, as I think this has to be unique. But if you want an extra e-mail address you can always sign up for one at Freeola.
4. Come here and write a post under your new virtual newbie name. The post must display your virtual newbie's character and personality.
The winner will be the post which displays the most original character. This character may be adopted for the forums, so make him/her likeable and not horrible.
You can enter as many times as you like.
You can make several entries under the same virtual newbie name.
You can try to guess who are the real regulars behind the virtual newbies.
The competition will be judged at the end of September.
(it occurs to me that I could enter this myself)

Page:
The winner is The Fog Nan.
I think "she" is likeable character who could at some stage become part of the moderating process.
Special mention to:
The Newbie (there had to be one)
Rupert William Smith (keep a stiff upper lip man)
RumpleSmoothSkin (grate name)
SR's Biggest Fan (woops Rakuga)
I don't know who The Fog Nan is yet because I'm at home. I'll look it up tomorrow.
For those who were confused:
1. You can't use two different accounts if you are cookied. You have to delete the cookie and select the option to sign in each time.
2. You don't need a second e-mail address. You could use a dummy one and we would identify you from your name and address being the same as your main account.
Glad some of you worked it out. Told you it would be tricky.

Hey Toners I just got out on bail,
Because of my little pb account hacking scam for the last few weeks I've been in jail,
I was hoping I'd maybe been chosen newbie of the year,
If I hadn't I was going to come and bite someones ear,
But it seems you haven't and soon I'll be back in jail,
Do you send gameadays to prisons through royal mail?
If you don't it doesn't matter,
Just send it to my mum,
Send her a copy of Gran Turismo 3,
So when I finally get out for good I can go and have some fun,
Toners I'm not really that mad about you telling the cops,
It was my fault when they collected me I should have fired some shots,
I had a pistol in the car,
I could have easily driven over one real far,
But never mind,
It's in the past,
I forgive you cos your a blast.
I love you Tony,
You really are the man,
I preordered Castle Wolfenstein from Special Reserve and also bought a DVD of Jackie Chan,
So come on man,
I'm like your biggest fan,
It would be a crime to turn me down.
I noticed you started a new competition in the chat,
Surely I can win that with my cool rap,
I hope you get to read this letter,
And I hope you take my points into account,
when you pick the winner,
Never the end of September.
Come on Tony,
Look at all the others,
My posts have more detail,
I've taken time to think of lyrics,
Instead of posting spam... and (what rhymes with lyrics?)
Anyway I've gotta see my bird,
Tell her I love her and..
*CENSORED*
See you later Tony,
As i said you are the man,
I need a game,
So remember my name,
sincerly yours this is your good mate Dan
PS. Rakuga is sooooo cool
