The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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)

Let's try again :-D Although it's a tad obvious as to who I am :-D
Hi everyone! I am the AntiCryst!
I'm sure you're not interested, so I'll tell you a little about myself.
Well... I own a small software company. I'm not supposed to advertise on here so I can't say, but
the anagram is this:-
Sorftomic
I set up that company after a friend of mine gace me the idea.
My hobbies include: buying out small companies and then making lots of money from them, putting
small buisnesses out of buisness, making a console (This is a special project of mine, I feel it's
going really well!) Having rubbish hair and looking like a gimp!
I have a raving social life, every Thursday night I go out and play Squash with a friend of mine,
FantasyMeister.
The best part of my life is when I go to work and get to sit in a big office, having rubbish hair and
stealing ideas off my friends.
I'm very keen to make new friends so, if anyone wants to contact me my ICQ number is 999, (That
also happens to be the last 3 digits of my phone number too!).
Well, it's been ice meeting you all! Oh and FM, I'll see you on Thursaday, I'm going to try and get a
put this time! I know I can do it...
Bye everyone!

The trials of a Newbie are never over, Terrorist Lord's tale continues.
Having bought a new On-Line RPG Terrorist Lord is keen to have a go. First he goes on-line and fills in his registration, then he begins creating a character...
Fighter is the obvious choice and he begins to anticipate bashing the heads of his enemies toghether. Terrorist Lord begins the game in a small town, a level 1 character he first thinks he should get a party to adventure with so that they can get experience easier. He finds a pub and enters, suddenly the music stops and he finds every gaze in the room has affixed to him. The Barman ducks under his bar. "Hello everyone, anyone want to go adventuring?" Terrorist Lord asks. A level 43 Barbarian walks up to him "You're in the wrong place at the wrong time, I think you should buy me a drink"...
Terrorist Lord finds himself in the centre of town again, this time with minimal clothing and no gold. While wandering around, a high level character takes pity on him and gives him some useful items. Terrorist Lord decides that he could take the weedy mage and is turned into a fiery hole in the ground...
Terrorist Lord, having created a new fighter with a new name to avoid identification, decides he might be okay to go out adventuring on his own for a while. He comes upon a bear and decides that it is far too powerful for him. Fleeing he finds himself near the town again, safe from the evil beast. Then he spies an easy kill, free experience he thinks to himself. The rabbit quickly dispatches him...
Terrorist Lord removes his subscription and puts the game in a box, never to be seen again.

Having tried FPS games Terrorist Lord decides to try out an RTS.
Terrorist Lord entered the room. "Hello, anyone want to play?" He states boldly. "Stupid Newbies" comes the reply. Undeterred Terrorist Lord searches out the channel called Newbies only...
"Hello, anyone want to play?" He asks. His sentence is quickly drowned by a horde of other surprisingly similar lines so he repeats himself. Eventually he notices a reply saying "I'll play". Excited he says that he'll create a game called "Terrorist" and goes off to do so...
20 minutes later he gives up and returns to the Newbies only room because the game could not be created due to too much traffic and being too slow. He once again says "Hello, anyone want to play?" and this time the reply is swift. "I'll play, I'll create a game called'New'" the other player says. Terrorist Lord wonders what the stars next to his name mean but does not have time to ask. Getting into the game Terrorist Lord begins to build up his base. Suddenly he is attacked by a horde of tanks and just before his final buildings are destroyed he quits...
RTSs are rubbish anyway.

Terrorist Lord entered the game. Gathering his bearings, Terrorist Lord has a quick look around and before he thinks to obtain a weapon is killed by a foe with a knife...
Terrorist Lord respawns and quickly leaps into action grabbing a pistol and leaping through the door he is filled with holes...
Picking himself up Terrorist Lord takes a moment to make a profane comment and is telefragged...
Terrorist Lord is now most annoyed, he quickly obtains a machine gun with grenade launcher and runs into the enemy base firing grenades and bullets wildly. Having killed his own team mates and one enemy he is happy with himself (he even made it to a second sentence) but in his celebrations he does not see the wall infront of him and blows himself up with a grenade...
Terrorist Lord leaves the game and says to himself that if he didn't finish the game he technically didn't lose.
Ah the life of an FPS newbie is a harsh one.
