Yes, it's official. UKchatforums will have it's own Gameaday Prize EVERY day from around August 1st.

But it won't have a Filmaday, that'll be for DVD Reviews.

Game Reviews and Cheats will have also have a Gameaday prize (one prize, not one each), providing there is a worthy winner.

Woopey Hoopey!

At present there is one GAD per day.

From August there will be two GAD's per day.

Do you see there is mathematics involved here. Because there are twice as many GAD's then there will be twice as many winners. For example, if there were 30 GAD winners in one month previously, then there will be 60 GAD winners in the future.

So, if your personal destiny was to win 2 GADS in August, then under the new rules you could hope to win 2 x 2, which is 4 GADs during the month.

However, if your personal destiny was to win 0 GADS in August, then under the new rules you could expect to win 2 x 0, which is still unfortunately 0 GADs during the month.


In conclusion I would say that it has not reduced your chances but it may not have done them a lot of good!

Good. I thought this should happen but I wasn't going to mention it.

But that doesn't mean loads of crap should be posted in that forum in the chance of winning a game.

Please.
