UPDATE---UPDATE---UPDATE---UPDATE

Ahem. We've decided to extend this competition until the end of December to give more people a chance to join up and become popular. Also, if this wasn't made clear in the original post, the winner will only get his/her prize when they become a regular.

Cheers
Ali

UPDATE---UPDATE---UPDATE---UPDATE

The winner will be chosen by the great Snuggly himself, no less.

To compete you have to be a Newbie. The competition can only be won by a genuine newbie joining the forums AFTER today 4 pm on November 21st.

Newbies can enter by proposing themselves on this thread.

They MUST be seconded (on this thread) by at least TWO regulars, staff or notables. Just say "I second [name] for this GAD" or similar.

The more support shown on this thread, the more likely they are to win.

Their overall performance on the forums also counts.

The WINNER will be the BEST NEWBIE as judged by Mr Snuggly on December 13th.

OKAY, go for it (Oh, you're not here yet are you).

Tell yer mates.

Tonty fails to see how that would encourage people to join!

thinking about it, it would have been better if the competition were aimed at newbies who had registered BEFORE the given date, rather than after.

We'd have had a far better informed opinion on the posters concerned, and there wouldn't have been as much risk of regular dress-ups.

come on, admit it. sorting between the chaff - mutton dressed as lamb regulars playing newbies - is far more hassle than it's worth...

Gee thanks

OK, I admit that I haven't seen any of the promotion for this either.

Actually, FoG chat was the very first place I went to, and this thread has been top of the listings several times every day since it was created, so it's not that far fetched at all.

But if I were you, I'd not bother voting for any of these uncultured, baneful miscreants.
