The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
This is an intentionally tricky competition. You have to create the best virtual newbie
1. Think of a user name and a tagline to go with it.
2. Delete the cookie for your normal sign up if you have selected "remember me". You can sign up your new name either by scrolling down the left side strip to REGISTER WITH US - DISCUSSIONS, or by signing up as a newbie as you make your first "reply" post.
3. Sign up as a new user, giving your proper name and address. You DON'T need to give your real e-mail address, as I think this has to be unique. But if you want an extra e-mail address you can always sign up for one at Freeola.
4. Come here and write a post under your new virtual newbie name. The post must display your virtual newbie's character and personality.
The winner will be the post which displays the most original character. This character may be adopted for the forums, so make him/her likeable and not horrible.
You can enter as many times as you like.
You can make several entries under the same virtual newbie name.
You can try to guess who are the real regulars behind the virtual newbies.
The competition will be judged at the end of September.
(it occurs to me that I could enter this myself)

I will agree with you there RBS. But still, the rules say to create the Best/worse newbie. I think you are winning in the worst catagory. :-D

This Extra GAD is not turning out well.

I really don't understand what has gone wrong, Rasta? What have you done to get possibly banned? Why has this competition become a failure in a way? Sorry but like I just said I don't understand

No stay RBS. If you get kicked off then I will go too. Wait that probably has not helped your cause. You are part of the forums and it would not be the same without you. I have not read the GG things, but I have decided already that you should stay.

I hate to bardge in on all of this, but what exactly is the problem with this room, I'm not trying to say this in a rude way or anything, but the competition was to create a virtual newbie, the only thing I can see as going wrong is that because you've only had the account one day it won't bother you loosing it so going around the chat forums and causing abuse might be causing a problem, but I would think that everyone who entered, including myself would already be mature enough to understand this and not do it. Or have I just been completley wrong about this whole topic?
