WTF goes on with this GAD system? now I know what your thinking "oh god it's another person complaining because he didn't win" well in a way your right. The thing is I wouldn't have minded loosing to another review, but when I spend all afternoon writing a review only to find im beaten by some guy who copied four cheats out of magazine, it kind of annoys me.

I'm not saying that my review should have won, but there where other good reviews submitted on the same day. Surely the GAD should have gone too someone who actually made some effort?

I know at the end of the day it's the judges decision who wins, but it really annoyed me. Anyway that's all have too say on the matter. I don't want to get known as amoaning git.

And YOU have the right to talk to Mr. Snuggly in the way in which you have? Telling him that he is obviously wrong in his decision?

You sir have a lot to learn. You are indeed spoilt if you think that by simply writing a review you deserve more than anyone else.

For one I am defiantely not spoilt! Why the hell do you think I write reviews to get free games if I was spoilt.

Just because you are a regular it doesn't give you the authority to start saying things about me.

I think you are the one that ought to grow up and stop thinking your good.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, not working for SR and not needing to play nice:

You did not win on that day because
(a) Someone wrote better than you
(b) The judges chose someone else
(c) Life sucks, wear a helmet
(d) Spoilt Children
(e) Sometimes life isn't fair.

Stop moaning, you over-sized infants.

Then why have they changed it back! I had to drastically shorten my Operation Flashpoint review because of this. We can't review a game properly if we have to do it in a certain number of letters.

We, as in the story writers, have now written six stories, and have recently started the seventh. Each of these compose of over two hundred LONG replies, and to be fair, excellently written.

However, through over 1,400 entries into these stories, only three of these entries have ever won gameaday. That, my mathematical loving friends, is a massive 0.2%.

I've never really complained, and I never really will. Why? Because we do not write the stories so we can be rewarded by games. We write them as a form of entertainment to ourselves and others.
