Q. HOW DO I WIN GAMEADAY?

A.Gameaday is a simple concept really where all you have to do to win is post and intriguing and interesting original post. You will gain bonus points from the staff by putting staff names in the middle of any sentences, they don't even have to make sense i.e. " In my opinion, I think the Game Cube SNUGGLY is fairly small TONY with great graphics"
This is called the brown nose staff technique. It has been used since the dawn of time and is an excellent way to persuade the staff to let you win.

Q. I'M NOT A FULL MEMBER, CAN I STILL WIN?

A. No, what the hells wrong with you you cheapskate, it's only a few quid. Damn, get a job. I mean... of course you can, instead of winning a prize, you'll win a years membership to our fantastic club of the high... I mean lowest prices around. You'll also get a free gift from our fabulous database. These include cheaply made products that break when touched... hey what do you expect, they're free.

Q. WHAT MAKES FOR A WINNING GAMEADAY ENTRY?

A. A winning post doesn't have to be the most brilliant piece of art known to man, it just has to have the brown nose staff technique applied. (Look back to question 1). Also what would help is the wording of the title, it MUST have the word Spoof in I.e. "I'm dying Spoof". This way, people know that you're only joking... and if you're not, throw it in anyway.

Q. I'VE WON, HOW DO I CLAIM MY PRIZE?

A. Easy, all you have to do is choose a product from our huge database and e-mail [email protected]. As soon as one of our loyal SR workers can be bothered to send your product out, they will. Expect it to arrive within the following year... again, what do you expect 1st class service? It's free.

Q. CAN I CLAIM SOMETHING ELSE FOR MY PRIZE?

A. Don't be stupid, you follow the rules or we'll give you what for! You can only claim prizes within the designated price range i.e. Prize under £50 means nothing over that limit obviously and the same with £25. Product bundles like the Time Crisis gun and game pack cannot be claimed even if they are under £50.

Q. Why haven't I won?

A. The reason you haven't won yet is because you keep coming up with such bloody boring posts, I mean come on who wants to read a topic entitled The Bargain Bin or The Playboy system... I'll tell ya, no one. Sorry if the truth hurts. Or your nose just isn't quite brown enough I mean look at Wookie Monsters, that’s browner than a dark shade of brown, that’s why he's always a winner.

Q. THE GAMEADAY WINNERS LIST HASN'T BEEN UPDATED. WHY?

A. There are many reasons why this can happen, you know... weather, Staff being distracted by Mystique or a hold up at the Staff office because of people demanding their copies of Vice City... honestly. Or they just can't be bothered.

Q. I FOUND A COPIED REVIEW, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

A. A copied review, right that calls for trouble. First what you must do is alert the GAD users of the cheater so that they can put him down, call him names and point and generally just make him feel stupid. With phase one complete, it's time for the G.A.D.A.C.D.S. The Game A Day Anti Cheating Defence Squad. This is a combination of only the toughest damn GAD staff relations around. All you have to do is contact them on [email protected] and leave the screen name of the cheater. Within minutes, the G.A.D.A.C.D.S will have looked into the profile and will be flying by chopper to the location of the cheater. Upon arrival, the squad will secure the perimeter, breach the target location with flash bangs and smoke grenades and will have the target within seconds of entering. The PC will then be removed by specialists and dealt with appropriately. Harsh but fair.

Q. IS THERE A LIMIT TO THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I CAN WIN?

A. No there isn't, the great thing about GAD is that you have an unlimited
number of times that you can win. Although, for some reason, the people with 20 wins or more have all recently been found in the basement of the GAD headquarters living on scraps of Snugglys favourite cakes. Snuggly swore that he was completely unaware of their presence. Dringo, FantasyMeister, Goatboy, AliBoy, pb and Meka Dragon have now been released after many weeks of torture. Not one of them dared speak to the police and so no one really knows what happened to them.

Q. MY NAME'S DISAPPEARED FROM THE WINNERS LIST. WHY?

A. This often happens when you do something wrong like disagree with one of the almighty admins and so they steal your prize for their own beneficial purposes.

This was all a joke and hope no one feels offended. Please don't kill me Snuggly.

What the, OH MY GOD IT'S IT'S AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhh.................

The recent jealousy of SHEEPY and Solksjaer combined with lots of lame GAD attempts and me getting Vice City and Ratchet and Clank makes me smile.
