The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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

Well, admittedly it would appear that a bandwagon is being "jumped", don't worry about it.
There are those that operate in an almost Kaufman like level of humour, and those that follow blindly and bump into glass doors and cry.
You seem like a man of passion. Shame your name indicates a certain level of animality, I can get that down the local after 8 G&T's and a fish supper
We've got 3 "Newbie" style characters and a bunch of old people.
It's not hard to do.
