What is this? The link refers to the WLT, so it is duff. PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT BEAT MY STORY!

Oh, and anyone who feels (er-no) that I am getting stressed about GAD is I want, ney, NEED Crazy Taxi! And I've only got until 1st June until it comes out.

This is definitely the time for a completely pointless 'yes, and I was there before you' post. :-p

Hmmm maybe SR could only make one or two of the forums GAD and FAD for people who only want to win so that people don't have to read some of these attempts whilst picking winners from normal forums as well. Kind of like creating a blatant GAD attempt forum or something.

The GAD and FAD are attracting a stupid amount of crap posters.

Good Idea.

I always post here although I am usually dispointed but if there were no GAD and FAD then I would get ocasionally hissed.

The idea was a good one. I'm sure we have all been disappointed in the past losing gameaday or filmaday to a thing you took lots of time writing but just don't worry about it. The normal times u win GAD of FAD are when you don't expect it and those are the best times.

I wasn't complaining. I was annoyed that there was a duff link in the GAD winners page. It wasn't duff after all, but I thought it was.

I know I would definately still come if there was no GAD. I hope The Powers That Be do cut it off for a while. It'd get rid of all those annoying newbies swarming around the place making loads of huge "meaningful" posts with no SPAG then bogging off when they don't win!

Note to self: Revise sentance structure!

I dont see people throwing their toys about to Camelot.
