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)

This is another crap cometition that once again makes a mockery of both the class system and the top posters board.

Let me make up a competition and I'll do a proper one, like they used to be in the old days.

I wouldn't call it interesting at all, a complete waste of time, I see no military purpose in it whatsoever. Bring back conscription, and force everyone to do at least one 3 year tour of Counter Strike (my favorite game).

All you Brits are the same, you can't make up your minds about which console to get, you can't make up your minds which are the best games, and the closest you ever get to war is a console war, and even then you like to back off too early in case your fingers get injured typing.

You can't play online because you haven't got a decent network over there, and when you do get online the Americans frag you, like they do everyone else.

We're petitioning Bush to rename our delightful collective of states the U.S.O. (United States of 0wnage).
