The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
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.

Shock Trooper, I am sorry to inform, actually I'm not sorry AT ALL, to inform you that ISS Pro 2 isn't even out on the PlayStation 2! How on earth would you win for writing about a game that no one has even played? Are you mad or just in the best position (i.e. working for Sony, in which case why would you try and win a game here?)!!!
I read jd99's post and felt it was a worthy winner, especially after some superb posts by him. Yeah, I know, it's annoying when you don't win - tell me about it! I haven't won since...hmmm, and yet everyday I try and post the best things I can, but yeah it's annoying if someone pipped you, but don't go mad over here!
It's their decision, no matter how biased towards PlayStation 2 posts and reviews they may be, it all comes down to the fact that jd99 won because on the day, his post was the best.
Sorry to SHOUT AT YOU, but you know, there is no need for this sort of behaviour - again, tell me about it!

You'll win won day again I am sure, and I hope I will win once more at least after a healthy 2month gap!

Grix is right. Always put how you feel in a detailed and well-explained way, and someday you'll win.
Just kidding.
Oh, shut up, all of you.
No need to get upset, it's only a game.
It's not often weget somone complaining they failed to win their second game, mind. Maybe you got the first a bit too easy?
No judge is perfect, and neither is anyone's personal opinion of their won work. Luck balances out in the end, so don't get too upset this time round.

Grix, thatnk you for amking the notables job clear to me now!! I understand that you are there to let people know how to act on the forums, I have seen two decent examples of this this afternoon.
Weel done, son!

You should always put your best effort into every post, if you want to stand a chance of winning. I know this may sound mean, but you can't just post one really great post/review, and then just chat for the rest of the day...
Me? I just chat all day, without any decent posts.

If you are only here to win games then why bother posting this?? Get involved in some decent topics and write some more reviews, but this wont win, i'll guarantee you that.
