One day, a man named Shigeru Miyamoto was born. As he grew older, his hair grew and was then cut, he learned to crawl and then walk, he then learned to talk, he grew bigger and became more intelligent.
But he was intelligent in a different way from most of us...his brain suddenly began thinking up brilliant crimes...different ways of executing these crimes, and what sort of crimes he would commit.
There were a few gangsters about, but they normally went around on the own, and usually spent all their time in pubs, bars and occasionally in a rich person's home, where they took small amounts of money day-by-day. But Miyamoto didn't want to be one of these...he didn't want to be on his own.
So he got a few of his Japanese friends together, and started a gang called, "Nintendo." He spent a few months planning, and then he decided he'd need someone special for their crimes. Someone who would let the world know about Nintendo. So he employed an Italian plumber by the name of Mario, who was known for his skills. His brother Luigi also came along with him.
Together, these two men commited unbelievable crimes. They stole many things, including medicines from hospitals, lots of vegetables and they also murdered many innocent walking mushrooms, and other strange looking creatures. The Police tried to stop them by introducing people such as Wario, but not even they could stop the Italian and his little friends.
Miyamoto commited other crimes also, and soon enough Mario was stealing cars, and even though the police, Wario, and many other law enforcers chased him, they could never seem to catch him. Mario is still creating havoc all over the world today, taking many, new innovative approaches to crime, such as the Kart.
Meanwhile though, another gang was forming, by the name of Sega. Sega battled bravely against Nintendo, trying to earn the title of, "Most Dangerous Gang in the Whole World." Occasionally, they would come out on top of Nintendo, especially when their main man Sonic was used, but most of the time it was Miyamoto, Mario and all their companions that led the way.
Then, Sega made a huge mistake. One of their operations went wrong, (Codename Saturn,) and they lost most of their respect, especially from Nintendo, who continued to rule the gangster world.
As Sega tried to somehow keep up with Nintendo, another new force was emerging. From no where at all, Sony appeared, with a double-barrelled Shotgun. Bullets fired into the bodies if Nintendo employees. The whole world was shocked. Where had this gang come from? Some thought of it as good news, as Nintendo had been commiting crimes for years, but some also thought it was bad, as a new, seemingly more deadly gang was in town!
Sony and Nintendo battled it out for 5 years. Sony were lucky enough to acquire the skills of Solid Snake, a stealth assasin. Solid Snake was a huge part of Sony's success. Sony also specialised in racing their own cars in tournaments, winning themselves lots of money. As usual, the police could do nothing. Sony overcame Nintendo rather easily, with Nintendo's main successes coming from Mario and their newly won Joanna Dark.
Suddenly, it all seemed to slow down. Something was going on in these gangs, but no one was sure what. Sega were first to enter the crime world again. They performed many dangerous crimes, but due to a lack of respect from others, no one really seemed to care. Gangs depended on two things-respect, and their reputation. Unfortunately, Sega only failed thanks to not having much of either, only thanks to Codename Saturn.
Sony were next. They were massively updated, and had a lot more to offer than they did before. Seemingly though, they used a lot of techniques they had done before, and nothing special was really done. However, Sony are finally beginning to show what they can do. Police have been finding out some info on Sony's plans, and them seem very big.
Police also know a bit about Nintendo. Codename GBA was launched a few months ago, hitting the crime world hard. Although the crimes weren't the most spectacular, they were fast. Supposedly Nintendo have been planning something small, yet also huge. We'll have to wait and see, and meanwhile, police are getting their forces ready to combat this onslaught, led by Prince Charles.
Microsoft have also flown into the crime world. This gang plans on attacking both Sony and Nintendo, with Codename X-Box. No one is really sure what they are going to do, but it's surely gonna be something special.
Sega, surprisingly, are currently helping Sony and Nintendo in some of their crimes. It seems as though Sega perhaps want to stay out of the picture for a while, but is this a mistake? It means the other gangs will pull away from them further, BUT, helping them could also lead to a lot of profit for Sega.
So which gang will come out on top? The gun-blazing Sony? Mario-mad Nintendo? Perhaps it's the currently quiet, but still awesome Sega? Or will it be from Microsoft? Who knows what to expect from them.
Thanks for reading, Ant.

See what I mean YH, DeltaJava hadn't read it on Chat, but he did read it on here. Exactly what I was hoping for. {:)

No, that's not what I'm saying. The main reason was that I need a DC game, but I haven't won GAD for ages, and it does seem to me that people get respect if they win GAD quite a lot. Yes, it's not the main reason, but if people win GAD lots then it obviously means the quality of their writing is good...
Look, I'm sorry about this. I got a little frustrated, that's all. Lets just drop this from now on, and let it rot in the deep, dark depths of FOG.

Sorry sir! But when I think of Mario I think of mushrooms, so there you go.
One or two slight mistakes there.
Mario wasn't murdering the Mushrooms.
The Mushrooms were supplying him with weapons to pick on the Koopa corporation owned by Bowser.
Many turtles and goombas died during this time.
As for Sega, you said that they're helping all gangs.
What actually happened is that Sega broke up into mini gangs which hold a semi alliance.

It's rumoured by the local Judge (the one people call "Your Honour") that they're secretly rebuilding the gang with a new operation based on 1024 barreled guns.
This operation is said to be carried out in 7 years.

The red flashing beacon on Ali's desk begins to flash red.
Startled at the sudden sirens filling the SR complex, he turns around and picks up the Red phone. 'This is Ali, i need a level three containment aquad down here right now'
Ali quickly tracked down the complaint, and gave out a GAD before any further harm could be caused.

Okay, you really wanna know YH?? Why I'm posting this topic on another forum??
Well, I'll admit it, shall I?? I plan to buy a Dreamcast soon, and I need a game for it desperately. The only way I'm gonna get it is by winning GAD.
I also haven't win since June, and I need to keep my reputation up, so I want to win again.
Now it may surprise, but I have been trying really hard lately. I posted topics such as, "I don't know much about gaming," "Simulation," "Fixed Camera Angles," and since I realised that posts on Chat were winning as well, I put this one on Chat.
Unfortunately, none of them won. I thought they might, but they didn't. Obviously, they weren't the best post that day. So I must try harder. I have no problem with that, and this is NOT a complaint, I repeat, NOT a complaint. I'm a little frustrated, but everyone deals with it. All the posts that have won GAD lately have been worthy of it-I obviously just haven't been posting at the right time.
So why did I post it here?? As I felt it was a GAD worthy topic and that it might get noticed more in Prime, and also because I wanted more feedback.
Obviously I have now ruined ruined any hopes of winning GAD with this post, but you already did that earlier, so it doesn't matter now.
