The "General Games Chat" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only.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.
Right, sorry for the delay on judging this one but we've had a bit of a mad Christmas and New Year so it was for your own good. Not quite so many entries for this (to be honest, it was quite a tricky one) and a fair few of you missed the point entirely - the idea was to get people to join the club, not to get them to Gameaday!
Anyway, from the entries we did receive, Dr.Duck wins for his in-depth look at the logistics of the chain e-mail and The Game wins for his 'matey' writing style. Well done both of you! You can both choose a Game or DVD from our database up to the value of £25!
-----------------------------------------------------
It's time we got up to some mischief.
What we need is a Chain e-mail letter. One of those things which arrives at your address and then you forward it to thirty six of your mates and two weeks later a freebie arrives through your letterbox.
Imagine that for each new member who joins Special Reserve we have a couple of quid to pay for rewards.
THE ORIGINATOR send the e-mail to 10 friends.
The ten friends can either JOIN or PASS.
To PASS they must send the e-mail on to another 10 friends, but just as favour to the ORIGINATOR.
If they JOIN then they can become an ORIGINATOR and send off their own e-mail to 10 friends.
With luck one originator will get their message across to quite a lot of people - especially if the message is interesting or humorous enough for people to pass on.
For each person who joins, we send the originator a £2 voucher towards games and stuff.
(the above is just a simple first stab at this to suggest the possibilities)
This contest is two-fold.
You can win one EXTRA GAMEADAY if you can specify exactly the right way to go about this. Something very similar to the above, but well thought out. An idea which will work.
You can win one EXTRA GAMEADAY if you can write the e-mail for the scheme you outline, or for the scheme outlined above. The important things are to make people join and to be interesting enough to pass the e-mail on.
Competition closes in Mid December.
It's a bit complex to write out your answers and ideas in this thread quite carefully and we'll see who comes up with the best concepts and approaches to this.
Quite a challenge - I wonder if anybody will enter?

Just a note really:
I kinda think a HTML e-mail would be better... it'd look more professional, and for every 1 person that can't receive HTML, there will be 3 that actually bother to read the file instead of thinkning of it as junk mail...

Now you can hold your head up high that there are many people out there that also refuse to let growing up take over their lives. Come to SR and see that boys can still play with toys.
