So who's the latest cheater to be exposed on the Gameaday site....
Well lets see...
He's a regular who's currently been on here for 238 days and has been lucky enough to win Gameaday 3 times.
His tagline's "Corrs are wonderful", he's made 869 posts with 74406 words! He's posted 6 cheats and submitted an amazing total of 72 hints. He's also submitted 3 reviews but is yet to copy, sorry I mean submit his own walkhroughs.
So what has he done?
Well here's one of his Skies of Arcadia hints for Dreamcast:
Hidden Audio:
Turn on your Dreamcast w/o a disc in it. Go to the cd player option. Then, insert either one of the SoA discs into your Dreamcast, and you will be able to play a humorous piece with the voices of Vyse, Aika, and Fina. This also works in a computer, and probably a regular cd player.
For a start, I've tested this out and it does NOT work. I also found a website with this on, and these hints were also on it:
The Ultimate Looper:
Found insde the Dark Rift on the Yafutoman side where you fought Anguila. You can find him after Soltis rises through the vortex. He is extremely strong and has a high defense. He also runs away a lot (the little wuss). His attack takes off at least 3000-3500 HP. I recommend being at least a level 55-65. You should use increm on Vyse and use Pirates Wrath or Prophcey and heal every turn. There is a very high chance you will have fatigue, and you should bring some curia crystals.You gain 7500 exp., 20 magic exp., and 15000gold (a lot, huh).
Useful Information - Part 1:
You need to have Ryu-Kan for this to work. After Soltis rises from the vortex go underneath it and into the vortex. While inside use the radar to locate items under the ground. If something hits look around in the area (it might take you a while, getting into the fights and all) but if you're lucky you'll find an item called Velorium (there are two pieces down there but you need only one). Take this Velorium to Ryu-Kan and he will forge Vyse's best weapon. Happy Hacking!
NOTICE: He's copied the "Happy Hacking!" part, as if he'd really type that out himself at the time......
Useful Information - Part 1:
When your ship (Delphinus) gains the ability to travel in the lowest and highest altitudes fly your ship to the highest altitude (so you won't get into annoying fights with weak enemies) and position your ship directly above Valua. Face north and fly directly straight until you see an island with a castle on it. Enter the island and you will meet a chemist. Ask him to join your group and he will say no. Leave the isand and come back. Ask him to join your group again and he will say he will only follow someone who knows the spell Riselem. If you know the spell he will join your crew and set up a shop on the island. Give him 1000 dollars to upgrade his shop and he will sell Magus seeds and other important items to boost your strength, power, vital, ect.
NOTICE: The last two hints he's both titled "Useful Information - Part 1" How can they both be part one?
Anyway, do you want me to give you the address of the page I found them on? (I also found the top one on another site, exactly the same wording.)
Here it is: http://www.gamer-revolut ion.com/games/codes /dreamcast/skies_arcadi a.htm (remove spaces)
It's all there, word for word.
Now don't you start telling me that hints are like cheats and there is only one way each one can be performed. Hints can be worded totally differently to have the same effect. Infact, people can make up their own hints that they develop from playing the game.
So who is this cheat?
cooldogs he calls himself.
In my opinion, taking advantage of the competition, despite being a regualr who has already won 3 times, is selfish, greedy and cannot be forgiven. He is not welcome on the boards in my opinion.
Note: When posting hints, someone is bound to look elsewhere as well as here to find them. And make sure they work, I got a bit confused when his first one didn't! That's why I used Lycos to search to see if it was copied as it's usually the copied ones that don't work (especially that first one, which is also on another site which Lycos found me). Basically, don't copy them as you will be found out.

Cheats can be created (I created 2) but that's a rarity.
Hints you can create your own, they don't have to be ones from other sites. I've posted my own ones, be them a bit obvious, but I have for games such as F-Zero X. Also, why copy ones that don't work?
I agree that copying cheats isn't cheating (you kow what I mean), but copying hints is another matter.

Just to rephrase a sentence which will surely be banned by the moderators once they see it, 'Fro said "Silly cat!"(swap the c for a T and W)
I have to get out my phrase that hasn't been used in a while.
Silly t**t!
Silly t**t!

I think any cheater who has won gameaday more than once and has been here long enough to know better should at least get a suspension!
I don't think cooldogs should be peanalised as much as those who copy reviews, but then some will disagree with that. Normally, cheaters are cautioned on first offence and then banned proceeding multiple offences. www.copernic.com has a great programme called Copernic that can hunt down any copiers - and I mean ANY. Get it - me and others have loadsa fun tracking down offenders :)
lol thanks, I wouldn't have found out if I didn't want to hear the supposedly funny track on the Dreamcast CD which you can supposedly play on a PC, definately on the Dreamcast and maybe on a CD player.
It worked on neither.
It worked on neither.
Good job Edgy *thumbs up*
