"GAD! Really worth the trouble."

the first thing people do when the see at the bottom of the screen saying win a game of ur choice. they go in for it. but then they find out that they won't win for useless spaming topics. but then it suddenly dawns on them. i will talk and try to make friends with some of the people here instead of trying to win a game thing. it is a lot better.

so if u r a gamer out there just trying to get in to win a game then, stop, and listen to this. u ain't gonna win for spamming rubbish. try and actually write something decent (unlike this) but don't get your hopes high remember there are loads and loads of other people writing in as well so it has to be really good to win.

stop and let the power of chating to decent people into your heart, and don't just try and win something without seeing the point of it.

ps. if this wins gad goddamnit, i'm not even trying to win. i am passing out vital info to gad winner wannabes.

thanks 4 reading, Afro.

Well When I first entered GAd I wrote a very bad Final Fantasy 7 review and expected it to win. I was very disappointed but soon wrote another, slightly better Majoras mask review and was sure it would win. After being extremely frustrated I started to post in the forums and see who the punks were beating me were! I started to get better at posting and YH took me on a grammar course where I learned how to spell and use punctuation.
But I never gave up and really started to have fun with it and writing my opinion and seeing others react to it which was very satisfactory. I then came to post, have fun and not try to win Gad 24/7.

It is very hard to win and no one can post their first piece ever and win easily as it takes time to find out what it takes. but it is worth the effort in the end.

Some people take competitions like this, way too seriously and really get out of hand when they don't win or whatever.

But this place is just for chatting and having a laugh with people you haven't nesserssarily (argh) met and exchange opinions and resolve differences, so basically being civilized. I mean, what could be more fun than playing a magic game and then discussing it with others as well? It is very fulfilling as a gamer who needs to express their points of view while having fun at the same time.

Some people get a little carried away and spam after they have missed out on a GAD spot a couple of times. So just cos they lose out they are driven to wrecking the forums and spoling everyones fun. I find now the best place to talk about your consoles is the forum in which your favourite company or game is based in. Spamming has lead to FOG (Chat) and sometimes prime being clogged up with things that don't have anything to do with the future of gaming.

I think the new 2 GADs could be a very good thing and help people who have come so very close before that edge and if they specialize in review (like me) they might stand a chance against a topic that is a awesom idea, once in a blue moon. It could be a bad thing and people might get greedy and not respect the competition or people running the forums anymore.


SO that's what I think of Gad and the forums.


Cheers

I'm not here for gad anymore, I used to make an effort to contribute but time after time you see gad's going to useless posts which SR like, so now I'm just here for chatting.

I won GAD yesturday. that is my fourth time, takes alot of effort but is very rewarding in the end:D

I'm not sure if GAD is really worth the trouble, I won er-no's comp a week ago and my name is still not up on the winners list. I'm still waiting to claim the game.

I wrote my first one for FAD and I won wahooooooooo, shame ive got nothing else to write about now DOH!

*runs off to look for inspiration*

everyone trys to win but most fail. and never win in all the time they r on and just get bored and never come back.

i ain't really expecting to win. i was just passing out info to newbie and jat's who only try to win.

I havent won GAD ive had a few attempts on reviews but you have to give it ago coz you could get a free game.
