"EXTRA EXTRA GAMEADAY PRIZE (Sept 2001 Virtual Newbie)"

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 might give it a go. But I can not be bothered looking for the cookie. Does anyone no what it is called?

It's clear that at this time most of you hate me... With just cause.

As I've said, I will go if you want me to, I don't want to stay where I'm hated.

Everyone makes mistakes, this is probably the biggest I've ever made and undoubtadly the most stupid. I won't complain if you ban me and I won't come back, even though these forums mean a lot to me. I'll accept any punishment becasue it's what I deserve.

The GG was a stupid and thoughtless idea, all I can say is I'm sorry. There really is nothing else I can do.

If you can forgive me (and that's a big if) then I'd love to stay. But I'm not sure I could myself becasue I am ashamed. I'm sorry. I honestly, truly am sorry.

Tony must do what he feels is right. Personally I'm feeling ashamed. Like I've said though, all I can do is apologise. It was stupid thoughtless and hurtful, but there's nothing I can do to take it back. I'll go if you want me to. If that's what you lot want then I will.

Shame on you.

Sorry, it was very thoughtless. I have Jewish relatives to y'know. My great grandfather was kille in a concentration camp.

I apolgise and I can see now that that was in very bad taste, there's nothing else I can do but apologise.
