"Shedao Shai = ssxpro"

My apologies for any confusion here. I am ssxpro.

I used the name Shedao Shai because I was bored of writing the same old reviews, with the same old structure. As a result I decided to think up a new way to review a game. I remembered reading about Shedao Shai and his hate of machines, and decided it would be fun to review a game, pretending to be him. Though the character would never do such a thing, it was possible to make the story believable in a sort of Sci-fi way.

The whole review was based around the idea that the Yuuzhan Vong could use the game to train themselves, even though they hate technology. It was a crazy idea, but I very much enjoyed thinking up ideas to put in it. The bit that was quoted by SR about music was one of my favourite parts.

After writing the review, the name had made an impression on me, and I thought it would be nice to continue with it. I am sorry to those who thought I was messing around and playing guessing games with people, it wasn`t intended to be a joke.

I will stay as both Shedao Shai and ssxpro. I like both names, and will use them in a similar way to Grix uses two names. (Obviously not as parts of one body, but you know what I mean).

Again, sorry, but the review wouldn`t have had the same effect if written by ssxpro.

You are damo from before right?

He did indeed. He also won a filmaday in between!

Good idea.

That was the idea behind reviewing a game as an alien, rather than a human as normal.

Thanks Meka!

Then man will be me in a couple of days, I've got a fantastic idea which is bound to win.

If i was you i wouldnt post on thursday or friday, 'cos thats when i'll unleash it on the world, Mwahahahahahahahahahahahaah!!

It'll probably fall flat on its @rse now ive said that though!

:-)

Okay, here's my view on this.

The best discussion or review should win each day. If I posted the best thing two days in a row, i should win two days in a row.

Only a few weeks ago pb won twice in a week, simply because he posted the best things on those days.

Obviously ssxpro's review as Shedao Shai was cosidered best, so it won. It's true it wouldn't have worked the same as ssxpro, so it's fine by me.

Rather than complaining, people, why not rise to the challenge?

There are so many people posting stuff now, you can't be expected just to win for posted a few reviews or discussion posts. Something clever and different is always welcome here.

To be the man, you've gotta beat the man.

Sorry, I just found this as well!

So its cheating to use a different name simply to add to the effect, but its perfectly alright to REVIEW a game that hasn`t yet been released. Devil May Cry, GT3? What was the gameplay like? How about the lastability? Did you enjoy the game for months on end, or did it fade after a bit?

The winner is the person who submits the best entry. The name is unimportant. Like I said, the only reason I changed my name was that it sounded better to write as Shedao Shai than ssxpro. The name suited the style of review I was writing. Shedao Shai`s entry was the best of that dayin the eyes of the judges. That is that. The person who entered it has no influence, only the post.

So its greedy huh? Most people here are trying to win. Some try very hard and may or may not succeed. I occasionally post a review of a game, and sometimes win. That`s all I do if I`m trying to win. Post reviews of the PS2 games I`ve played properly. The rest of the time I spend here, I go to the discussion boards, and post messages, none of which are long boring gameaday attempts., merely discussions - I`ve never won for anything but reviews - so its not like I`m trying to win everyday.

I can`t say I ever had any respect for you damospud, because I`ve never read anything worth reading from you, but I can assure you I have none for you now.

Sorry to any others unfortunate enough to read this, but I really hated damospud for what he wrote, and hating somebody is extremely rare for me.

Do you think its possible to become addicted to posting on forums?

Look YH, I couldnt stay away! Now Im at uni and I cant be bothered to do any work!(Well to be honest I really should be!)

Yeah that'd be good.

Just GO!
