Welcome to Tributes first ever attempt on advising newbies to win GAD's. This is my attempt at helping poor n00bs who have no idea about what this is about. I'll do it in steps, so that people understand.

1) Get a Username

Offensive ones are always the best ones. Ones that say 'I'm the best, like it or lump it, or one that tells people what you're all about - 'Ninty Hater' or 'Shiguru Scum' are perfect. An abusive tagline is also good to add to your perfection.

2) Pick a Subject

The subject is the most crucial part of winning a GAD. An interesting subject is key to winning, as well is a little bit of humour. Console wars are usually a good bet, with abusing nintendo coming in a close second. If you want something different goto step 2.

3) Go and ask for tips

A part of being a GAD winning newbie is going around, begging regulars and notables for help and telling them that you need a GAD. If you are out of ideas for a GAD, ask Notables for their precious ideas, they are bound to give you them all.

4) Start your Post

The key to your post is a good, strong opening line. Something that sums up just about everythng that you are trying to say. Make it daring and bold. Possibly 'Nintendo are rubbish. Just because'

5) Be Totally Biased

Put across your point of view and yours only. Say everything you can to abuse/praise (yeah, right) the thing in question and don't give a damn about what anybody else thinks.

6) Less is More

A shorter post is a better post. You don't want a long, few hundred worder which gives everyside of the argument, you want a small, 5 liner with no spacing, minimal punctuation, bad speeling (did it on purpose) and, most of all, no paragraphs

7) Mention GAD

Be sure to mention, at the end, that this is your first attempt at a GAD and that you hope it does well, as people are sure to feel sympathy towards you.

8) Post it

Post it and leave the site. Why do you need to check the replies? Just come back in a few days time to collect your prize.

There you are, my guide to win a GAD. I don't know why I dd this, as you are all going to go off and beat my ideas now aren't you?

Meka will just mumble something about a brown parcel, and walk off, talking to someone called 'Agent Ali' in a mobile phone.

Well it wasn't that funny. Make a spoof if you want to be funny. Plus you'll have more of a chance of winning GAD than with this crap.
