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.

You have to have a membership BEFORE you win!

If you want any chance of getting your prize you have to put your details down...

You need to get people to second you so unless other people are cheating too, you've got no chance!

and they will divine this information how exactly? Any forum user on AOL can mask their identity, spam a bit, irritate people and get the votes in. All it takes then is signing up for a new SR membership to ensure they get to claim a £50 game, and not a £7 membership.

That already happened in an earlier Extra GAD we did, I think Goatboy won it.

Thought this would be like the great FogNan one where I became RupertWilliamSmith but it looks like we can't create new users to act as noobs.

Oh well, might cut out all the spam and stupid noob nonsense.

best as in "best" or best as in "best example of a complete newbie"?

If it is the latter, I fear it is an excuse for several regulars to create new accounts and spam the forums.

Booo, so that means I can't vote for the great LL Cool TT, because he's already a newbie.

Ah well, cool idea, might get my Dad to enter. :D
