On the first of July, I posted my best topic to date entitled "Macots: Past, present and future". I felt this had a really good chance of winning. Normally I don't post to win but I really want GT3 and I can't afford it.

However, this topic was beaten by a topic entitled "SEGA and Nintendo Killed Originality in Video Games". I don't think this topic deserved to win and I thought mine was far better. All I want to know is why didn't I win? Is there a specific reason? Could someone from SR tell me so I can improve next time.

I would appreciate it if someone from SR could reply to this so I know they've at least read it.

My topic is this:

The winner is this:

A catalyst is described as something that speeds up a process.

I really don't think anyone could ever had thought Shanksy would have been hurt.

Anyway Grix, the definition of a catalyst is something that isn't used up.

I'm starting a sweepstakes on this. Pick a number from 1 to 3, and see how many days before turbonutter wins a GAD after complaining.

£40 a go.

(Actions speak louder than words. Now a catalyst is needed.)

I think this is what happens when people complain. People get hurt.

Next time, consider the consequences.

Armitage Shanks post was of a very high quality Turbonutter, as was your own. However I think Shanks was better because it was more original.
