A long time ago (well, a day or two) in a forum far, far away (erm... this one...) there was a mystical competition known as Game-A-Day. But recently it was cancelled. Don't blame the GAD bearer Tony, or even his loyal minions such as Snuggly, Beards and Loki, for there is a much darker force at work.

An individual who cannot be named for legal reasons was attracted to the prospect of free games. Soon this pursuit co0nsumed his entire being, and all he ever talked about was "the precious GAD". He only talked to himself mind, for he never ventured outside his house (or even his bedroom, except to feed or go check the post for his latest free game in the post).

Anyway. This individual became so unhealthy from spending all time writing topics that when he got up and left his lair to make the long and dangerous trek down the corridor for his weekly bathroom break he suffered a collapsed lung.

So the individual called claims direct! They insisted Special Reserve were grossly negligent in their giving away of free games, and that the forums were more addictive than crack cocaine, something the Daily Mail quickly reported on, as well as outlining that internet chat forums were only used by paedophiles, terrorists and international drug smuggling networks.

Special Reserve were facing a multi-million pound lawsuit, so decided they had to make an out of court settlement. This put them in some financial difficulties. These were almost certainly a factor in the cancellation of two of the three GAD prizes, but were also not the main reason. Special Reserve fear yet more lawsuits from individuals who have been physically and emotionally traumatised by the grossly negligent practice of giving away free games. They are running a huge risk by having one Game-A-Day prize left. So don't blame anyone at Special Reserve for you moochers having to pay for games now. Blame Claims Direct.

the daily mail will get onto this. i can see the headlines:

"Site in paedophile scam"

Using free games like the lure of sweets from the park bench, SR dragged young posters into its sites, and forced it to make posts in its forums for the chance of free games.

good old daily mail!
