"Getting sick of complaining people"

"Why didn't I win gameday?"
"I've been here for 3 days and haven't won yet"

So what?
Who cares?

Sorry to sound harsh, but I'm fed up with reading moan after moan about "how it's not fair" and "my post was better".
If you didn't win, that's because someone else posted something better than you did.
Get over it.

It's been said over and over by so many people, don't post merely because you want to win.
It shows. Lengthy, dry and impersonal posts that read like a news bulletin.
Where as the ones that do win are personal, have something to say or are reviews/cheats.

I appreciate that you may have spent an age on a post, but that should be because you had something you wanted to say, not because you thought "Ha! That'll win"
And yes, I am aware that I have won a number of filmadays.
But twice I have had to be told I've won.
Why?
Because it never enters my head to try and win a bloody DVD or game, I don't bother to check the lists.
I've written lengthy posts that have taken me an age, but that's because I've had an opinion I wanted to share with people.

Take my last filmaday win for bullying.
Cooldogs posted his experience, someone else started a thread about bullying because of video games and Wookie added his thoughts.
I had something to say about it, and stuck it in the life forum to try and help someone that was going through the same thing, to try and make them realise that it was ok, that they shouldnt be suicidal or depressed.
I didn't think "Excellent, a worthy topic! I'm sure to win now!".

I understand that some people might be too young to buy their own games.
I've been there too, but now I'm 28 and can buy what I want, when I want.
But you know what?
When I couldn't, when it had to be my mum pay for one?
I waited.

Don't be so bloody greedy and start screaming when you don't win.
It even says in the rules "No complaining, nobody likes a whinger"

This forum has many, many articulate, amusing and interesting people. They win more than once.
Not because of any favouritism but because they post interesting stuff.

Meka and Grix post a lot of long, decent topics each day.
Do you hear them sob when they don't win?
No.

Learn a lesson from those that have the grace and dignity to realise that GAD and FAD are a privilege, not a right.

Thank you, rant over.

Probably about a third of the posts are, to be frank, crap.

But there is a story line in there........ somewhere.

It's taken off too quickly!

I haven't had a chance to read it all yet!

Well, it's had a rocky start, but hopefully it'll carry on ok...

Yep YH, and I totally agree. Cheers for bring that to the top. Hopefully this story will eventually be as successful as the others too.

pb, i have posted something about that in the story thread. Don't know if you've seen it......

I still haven't won but that doesn't care I mean just having so people to Sorta talk to when I literally live 11 miles from the nearest civilisation!

That's a fair point, I've been tempted to comment on the stories, but have to refrain from posting in that thread

The only thing I ever usually moan about is the stories. Why, after many good posts and a lot of effort, do other people decide that they don't want to read the thing and decide to post something completely different which makes no sense to the plot?

If you want a different story, all you have to do is set one up yourself, no-one (bar Dan2k1) will mind. Especially Fish-e.

Nice one.

Er..I mean...why didnt I win?

What am I complaining for, I won a GAD without posting, lucky me.
