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

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.
A great way to start fights would be to do the best Regular
and maybe make n00bs behave better and spam less so we will all vote for them.
any geniune newbies won't know what a n00b is or that this competition even exists.
It's obviuosly an attempt by SR to get regulars to sign up for a second membership, or some such deviousness.
Clever.
Simple fact is that people could fall for it. I know the point of this is to make GAD seem more real to newbies, but there are too may ways it can be abused.
actually now I think about I don't think I want my boyf reading my posts...
damn..bad idea!
Sounds fishy. Plus there is the possibility of a regular who has never won GAD before winning it, and won't have to make another SR account, but instead use their ordinary one, since it has never been used to make a GAD claim.
The creation date of the account will be AFTER the prize and you won't be able to claim a game!
Just a free gift and ANOTHER membership...

If you win and your not a mamber then you get Free membership
If you win and you are a member you get a game upto £50
But the date that you win dictates which category you are in...so, If you win a GAD on monday, and become a member on tuesday, you don't qualify for £50 game.
I think
And of course, you can put your membership number up at any time...
