thats the only reason why youre here isnt it! you write so many posts for the sake of it! you dont win gameaday by churning out loads and loads of rubbish! its quality not quantity. if youre only here for a gameaday i suggest you stop posting and sit down and think of something really good to write that will attract evrybody and get alot of replies!

You have a better chance of winning GAD if you don't post topics like these!

Maybe you could read through some of the previous winning topics on the GAD Winners lists to get an idea of what sort of topics/reviews win.
Try to keep topics slightly light-hearted and make them as easy to read as possible with good grammer/spelling etc.

If at first you don't succeed, then try & try again. I've written some pretty good topics in the past that i thought might win, but they didn't, so it made me even more determined to write more original things.

You could write a spoof based on a game or a film using characters from the forums, an intelligent topic about current affairs, or something very original that might not have been thought of before.

E.g, I wrote a GAD winning post a few weeks back entitled "The Frankie Dettori Pizza". It linked the idea that videogame companies used well known celebrities to endorse or appear in their games, when the actual game wasn't very good, e.g David Beckham Soccer, Harry Potter etc.
This linked up with the idea that the pizza company was using Frankie Dettori to endorse their pizzas in a similar way.
I got the inspiration to write that topic whilst shopping in Iceland (the shop), so an idea can pop into your brain at any time.
When you do get a brainwave for a good topic, write down the ideas.

Hope that helps :)

I have won twice in the few days (well 80) that ive been here - its not fake I can assure you. I probably thought of something every couple of days, and ive only done a few reviews, for which I won one. If your posting something serious Its always best to add some humour, such as the one mentioned below - I thought that was good. Spoofs are always good entrants.

Stop moaning and think of something useful that deserves a GAD. And remeber theres going to be very few times that you are the best person.
