What about me! Is there some kind of Special Reserve hatred for the member commonly known as Dan2K1? Is it that you all are fed up of my long, extensive reviews which inform so many people and bring light into just one or two people’s worlds, is that I am forbidden from winning gameaday or filmaday (wrecked your chances there Dan), I certainly haven’t disappeared without trace in the forums – after all I have posted the 6th highest amount of words of all time?!
Or is it that you have made a mistake?
Ok so why is Dan mad? Well, amidst all the wrong doings and troubles in the world, despite the postal strikes delaying my online bargain purchases and refraining from laughing at Ant’s similarity to Paul Daniels I have to make a public complaint. I have just received the Special reserve discount club magazine and looking at the front page was horrified to see that I am not in the top ten for games won on the site – my name has been eclipsed and yet I’ve won at least 6 times, seeing that I had won 5 the last time I was in there! So what’s up with me? Am I the spawn of something disgusting, shrewd repulsive and unlawful? Or am I the founder of all things insane? Don’t answer that bit. So I would like to know why I am not in the top 10 – that sucks guys, you forgot me – just like you have for the past 44 days…
Rant over.

Thanks for the info. A free game eh? That'll compensate for not winning GAD ;-)

The list is based on how many games you've won. So if the tenth person has won 7 games and Dan has only won 6, then he won't be in the list. That doesn't mean he's a bad writer or doesn't contribute to the site, I always read your posts, Dan, and enjoy them - however long and daunting they are!
To get the magazine you have to be a member of SR, it's worth paying the membership fee as you get to choose a free game or peripheral that are often more than the membership price, plus you get to be a member of a great company that has loads of cheap games to buy!

it will
Damn, my mag hasn't turned up yet. Maybe tomorrow. I can't wait to see the pics!
Am I in the top ten list? Should be. Also, does it tell you how many times these people have won?

Umm not sure what you are talking about exactly but if Dan has won a lot of games then he deserves to be in this list. It must take a lot of effort to win games here with the quality of the posts and therefore some recognition is probably needed. If he has won 5 games then some respect is definately due and he should not be missed out as I assume he is quite a regular user of these forums posting some good discussions and reviews. Oh yeah btw how do I get this mag?
