Frogman recently won for a review. I happen to know it is copied. He was bragging at school about he copied a good MSR review (since he has only just got the game) and hopes to win. I know there is not much for us to do about it because he will not admit where it is from. He mentioned something about some amaetures site and that was it.

I know there is nothing we can do but just voice your opinion on it and tell me what you think.

It's not that I mind being beaten, but when It is by something that is all copied I get slightly buzzed.

PS. He is also Whazzer on another account that copied a first MSR review.

Innocent until proven guilty.

Unless you give his game to me, then let him fry!

Unless Special Reserve actually email him asking him if it was his work of if he copied it - Sam must have proof of Frogman's cheating.

I mailed Sam on this matter yesterday and he replied saying that Frogboy had said that he took lots of little bits of reviews and put them all together.

Basically, that mens we won't be able to find the orignial... becuase there isn't one. We have to find at least one of the sites where he took a bit from, otherwise we just leave him be with his guilt.

If nobody can prove this is from anywhere else, then he shouldnt have to surrender his win.

Just because someone says he copied it, doesn't make it so.
Wait for the results before you start flooding his email box.

Lynch-Mobs are never a good idea people, so just spend your time trying to find the original instead of being spiteful.

Remember, just because someone claims he copied it, you have to prove it.

Otherwise I'm suing Spielberg for nicking my ET idea.
