The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
If you've won gameaday it must be a great feeling. To have beaten everyone else. But being honest here and sticking to the subject please tell me do you think your's deserved to win?
I look at the winners page everyday as I enter cheats,reviews and opinion. So when I see the winners I am some-what disappointed and then I have a look to see how they won so I can improve next time. And I look at there's and think there rubbish and how did they win.
So is it just me or do you agree?

They're not issued on those days but you can of course still win them on those days.

You're being paranoid.

Your in depth reply looks to me like you want to win gameaday. Or am I just being paranoid?
I've had three GADs (I think) and two FADs.
Did they deserve to win? I don't know, and to be honest, I don't care.
For whatever reason - whether it be because they thought it was informative, humourous, or even because they stuck a pin in a list of that day's posts - the judges chose my particular post on that particular day, and everyone else should just learn to deal with it, just as I have on the other 360 days of the year that I haven't won anything.
Though we all like to be modest when we do win, the number of "I should have won" posts has gone up significantly in recent months, which shows that a lot of people are here with the intention of winning, and little else.
I have posted messages occasionally which, while giving genuine discussion points, have been 'tailored' more towards a GAD win. None of them has ever won - but I didn't start moaning about it on here, even before I'd ever won. All of my wins have come from posts which were simply replies to other people's topics, or posts made with no thought of GAD in mind. Except one of the FADs, which was for pointing out an issue with SR's web site.
