My mate won a game on here, can't see how, his letter was crap, so in that respect i understand what you mean.
The environment in which we play games is an important factor! I know the problems of having a wife that isn't into all of the games I like to play. Here's a tip. Find a game that she'll like, then you might find something you can play together. I've been playing Civilisation with my wife lately, and it's been fun.
Anyway, people are getting too jealous of winners! I agree that that cheater was wrong and he shouldn't have done what he did but you can't say things like "My topic was much better than that one" because you are not the judge of this competition. The person who judges it looks for original ideas or messages that have true meaning etc. If the same thing is posted over and over again in different wordings than you probably wont win.
MY advice would be to think of things which affect you personally or think of new game ideas. OR go submit some cheats and reviews!
Just don't give anyone a hard time just because they won unless they do deserve it like that cheater.....because if you win maybe people will say the same things about you!
I went on a bit about people winning as soon as they registered and that was true and I got a lot of support from that. In fact some of the winners had put 3 lines of rubbish that have no relevance to games. You can campaign but still the Judges decision is final and I except that.
If you want to win, try following some of the guidelines above but I can't guarantee you a win. I'm just trying to help cos I'm sick of "My message is better than yours....why didn't I win....."
And those of you who aren't giving jealous remarks, you deserve to win even more!
Anyway, dont get bitter at me for winning. If you are persistent and just write for fun then you will eventually win.
Screw you SR!
