Remember a while back we offered an EXTRA GAMEADAY prize for promotional suggestions. Anyone who suggested an idea which we actually use within three months wins a prize.

Monkey_with_Attitude has already been given one prize for his suggestion of community spirit in e-mails.

There are now three further prizes in this competition.

1. Monkey_with_Attitude
E-mail a friend links in discussions etc.

2. Fantasy Meister
Gameaday leaflets or stickers on products we sell, especially in the shops.

3. Monkey_with_Attitude
Prompt people to bookmark or place our sites on home pages.

By the way - It's no good searching for the promotional thread. We deleted it so that our competitors can't get their sweaty mits on it.

There may of course still be other winners to this as every suggestion which is used within three months will win a prize.

Reddies - it's an old cockney expression for cash. Not credit cards or electronics. Anyway we want them back so that we can use them again.

Actually we might to electronic Reddies at sometime in the future but controlling it could be UTTERLY HORRENDOUS.

Hey - that's my idea!

Can anybody beat 1.3 milliseconds for a lap of Silverstone?

I believe I suggested that ages ago with the backup of Grix and Sniper...

Why did I not get a free game for that ;)

Then - they put the money in their pocket, screw up the empty raffle books and disappear, never to be heard of again, saying "MAWAHAWAHA"

So - you don't think it should be fair then.

"Best Contribution" it says. We shall fight for freedom, honour and peace in our time. "Best Contribution" it stays!
