You listen up people of the FOG, I was pleased with my contribution and two topics yesterday, I was very pleased in ready many more interesting topics, and topics thats I thought should easily win gameaday, so as I made my way to the gameaday winners post, I looked at the ssxpro review, and thought that was a great review which deserved to win...

...then I look at yesterday's winner, the day when 5-6 brilliant topics were easily in contention for a gameaday, and I see a cheats for Driver on the GB, I didn't get angry at this point, I thought let me find this persons cheats and then I will judge...

...so I found them, and I have to say that each one is a carbon copy straight from a Nintendo Cheats back website, now I am not desperately annoyed at this, because I have another topic in the making, but others who took time on there topics yesterday should be!!!!

Gameaday rules and conditions:

'- this mean that the material must be orignal and written by you, please do not send in othere peoples work. If you do your entries are null and void'

I will leave you too decide!!

Thanks

If Joe plays up then just charge straight at him. That normally does the job.

Nice debate - here is the official position.

1. Prizes are awarded for a batch of cheats.

2. It does not matter where the cheats originate from.

3. It takes just as long to prepare and enter a winning batch of cheats as it does most other winning contributions.

4. To win Gameaday you need a bit of luck as well as a good contribution. We are not always comparing like for like. It is a judgemental thing.

5. Cheats is considered a very important part of our site.

6. Maybe we'll get to 2gamesaday.co.uk one day if you bring your mates along.

I think people have missed the point er-no was making here. There was no objection to people posting cheats they have found elsewhere. The objection was to those cheats being allowed prizes when others have put effort into their own original contributons and been denied recognition for it in favour of a cut and paste job from a third party source.

Sorry to hear about the copying er-no. However, thanks for the compliment about my review.

I hope the truth is found out about the cheats/codes win though.

That`s the trouble with cheats. There isn`t much you can do to expand on what the magazines/tips books say, so its hard to win with cheats. Well, good luck with your next topic in the making.
