"FOR THE WANT OF AN EXTRA GAD"

Feeling lonely and isolated?

Looking at stale old posts?

Nobody around to talk to?

Creative juices dried up?


You need new miracle Extra GAD. Extra GAD sweeps as it cleans as it enlivens.

The person with the best suggestion for an EXTRA GAD competition will win any game of their choice.

Closing date = midnight on August 26th.

And YES - the winning suggestion will be used as a real Extra GAD compo (er - just like this one).

So, by gad, get adding you cads. You are never too old to be bold!

**** IMPORTANT - EDITED POSTS DON'T COUNT ****

If two people suggest the same winning idea it will be the first one to post it that wins.

Apologies if these have already been done I'm not reading through that lot.

1: Draw the News Monkey.

2: Design an SR magazine cover.

3: Suggest improvements to the SR mag.

4: Design a new SR front page.

5: Invent a cocktail

6: Invent your own game sequels.

7: Super character merging idea -merge two video-game characters to create an all new one!

8: Write an X vs X story based on staff at SR and video game characters

9: Draw the forthcoming new-gen consoles

10: Invent some ingenious new peripherals for consoles - eg, handy arms you can afix to the side of your console to use to hold things and in an "Over the Top" movie tie in.

11: Write an Ode to SR - an SR Poem.

12: Submit favourable reviews of SR to consumer review sites.

I may or may not think of some other ideas at a later date. Bet you can't wait.

Biggest hoax! Come up with a believable rumour, make it sound as real as possible and spread it through forums and even on the SR news site.

It'll be amusing.

How about:

1) Doing an artwork page, where people send in pictures that they've done

2) An up and coming page, with news on upcoming games etc.

3) Monkeys

I would only win again.

I did that for the SR game. I even had Paradox whip me up a mock review :D

Best new Special Reserve venture. This would be done by having a mock up of the new website; taking the source code from any of the SR sites (ukmobiles, ukplaystation2 etc etc etc) and editing all the text, and images. Most inventive, humourous ideas or whatever win. Extra points for attention to detail - wouldn't be that hard to do, and considering people's willingness to use more complex programs like photoshop it would be very do-able.

Perhaps they should open more SR shops around the country!

It was dead on its feet the first time you typed it.

Design a new SR logo. The splat saver is getting OLD. But it's still good.
