Im here well over 100 days been with SR and the site since its conception and now posted countless fair posts.
I contributed to the Cheats section and wrote reviews that took time and effort. But still I havent won a game. Why not? Its not as if im just labeled a 'Newbie' either, there have been countless newbies of late that have won.
Yesterday I wrote a review that took considerable time and effort. It was on F-Zero Maximum Velocity, I hoped that with it, I would be in with a chance of winning, but unfortunately not, I am let down.
I know many of you are sick to the backbone of hearing people complain about this, I was at a stage!!.
But then I realised, "Hey, this isnt a bit fair, there are guys winning over and over, atleast give others who haven't a chance!".
And you know, I think im right. People who won countless times over on GAD should be excluded from winning any more, just to give others the chance of doing so, its only right.
Maybe the staff can set a Rule that you can only win GAD a maximum of three times only.
It Only fair. Give others the chance!.
By the way I cant see nothing out of the ordinary with my review. Go check it out at the review section of F-Zero MV.

Some people will believe anything.

It's harder to win now because there are more people competing. And of course there are some people who seem to be able to pull a pen a winner at will. It took Turbonutter a long time to win his first Gameaday.

I think the extra prizes start next week. There will be a GAD just for the forums and a separate one for the cheats and reviews.
