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:

Consider yourself lucky. I have no games to review, no ideas for posts so I can't even try.

Turbonutter's been here 400-odd?
But you're right, there is really no point in complaining, for example I should have won on the 3rd of July, for my MGS2 post, but ya don't hear me complaining! :P

I think I won once for a two line post, but I think it was meant for Meka Dragon, they must have got the names mixed up.

Still, I didn't complain.

They have them all stored somewhere and some poor sap (Ali) has to look through them ALL.
