I know that the judges decision is final and i'm not trying to argue with it, seen as nothing can be done now. In a way, i'd just like to find out how I can improve. But the reason i'm posting this new topic is to ask - why didn't I win then?
I felt so sure I was going to win again. After I posted a new review for ISS 2 for PS2, (even though there isn't one I put one under ISS 2000 - PS2 section)I told many that I had a good chance of winning another game on this site. It was long and I tried to make it as detailed as possible.
When I found out that jd99 won it was quite displeased. Without actually looking at his piece of work I was actually looking forward to reading it. It was a very good piece of writing by jd99, but it was rather short. Yes it's quality not quantity, but I didn't see how he won.
Sorry to be a pain in the a**e and i'm not trying to 'put down' jd99 or even change the judges decision. But i'd just like to know what I could do to increase my chances of winning GD.

Calm Down Lads!
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO READ?
READ IT FOOL.
Look, I was trying to share the viewpoint that you have that longer reviews are discriminated against simply because they are too long for the selectors to choose, no matter how fantastically written, no matter how detailed, no matter how utterly useful and interesting they might be you can guarantee a 1000word+ review won't win a game!!!!! OK?
The F****ng S*** was not about MY opinion, it's my opinion of the game WWTBAM? because that basically sums it up. For god's sake, don't bite off more than you can chew.

You do talk utter rubbish don't you? So what are you saying? That my review was good?, or bad? Make sense dear little boy.

> anyone actualy read my review?
I know how you feel in that respect. Longer, better and more detailed reviews, SIMILAR to their own reviews here (in length, not quality, seeing as our reviews are not biased towards selling the game if it's actually a complete pile of steaming - ouch,) are usually not going to win.
Concise is the way to go apparently, hence my following review of WWTBAM?:
Empathy my brother.

eh?
Has Dan2K1 ever heard of imports? I imported it - I-m-p-o-r-t-e-d yeah? Yes, I will win again one day. I did say that I wasn't trying to be annoying and yes I do agree that jd99 posted a worhty attempt. Congratulations - no hard feelings. Just expressing myself in a kinda childish-like manner. I'll never do it again. I'll just ahve to keep on trying then eh?
Oh, and Dan2K1 wrote: "How on earth would you win for writing about a game that no-one has even played?" Well, IT'S DIFFERENT!!!! At least i've played it. Has anyone actualy read my review?
