Are you guys paying Mezzo a salary? How does he go about writing the 100 per month off on his taxes? (jokes of course)

Great job everyone, lol.

[-Gespenst-]

Nice! I won again! Don't worry though, I'll ease up on the blogposts to give some room for others. I have a few ideas I might write about at some stage, not that they're guaranteed winner material of course, but I'd be happy to put them up for people to read.

Anyhow thanks, and congrats to all the other winners!

"Don't worry though, I'll ease up on the blogposts to give some room for others."

I've honestly never found that nice route to really help community members--outside of just handing one a $50 prize pack. I remember getting a bad remark or two about consistent wins over a year ago when there was only one prize per user-submission category (blog or review). Although I'm sometimes on/off in putting in my submissions, something must have changed or I'd be swimming in prize codes. The community simply got better at expanding upon their material to cover just like I have since joining. Your win consistency may even impel some to scan over your stuff and try to build on that topic with their own experiences in one way or another, or even challenge your stance.

That's just me though. You're certainly free to submit your stuff whenever you like.

[zerocrossing]

I hope to see more submissions from you this coming month coolbeans, but for now I'll just be thankful for not having to compete with you O.O

Congrats to all the winners. Heh, a strange thought burst through my head that i might win something lol. Ends with a bummer.

[thebudgetgamer]

In your face mom.

Well done, winners. For those of you whose blog or review is listed above: remember TWO people were involved in the tough decision. So, remember to thank Cat and cneutralmaybe. No, wait...
...
cbadyes?
You'll figure it out.

[LostDjinn]

WOOOHOOO!!11!11!1
I'm a winner and not like Charlie Sheen (I actually did win).

Yeah, bring it beans. Now I know you're all wondering what I'll be spending the money on. Well that's easy.

Hookers.

So thanks N4G. I'll be blaming you all when I'm getting bad news from the clinic in the not too distant future.

[Donnieboi]

T'was a good blog man. U deserved this win.

[zerocrossing]

Wow! I won. Thanks a lot Cat and cgoodno, glad you guys liked my blog :D

Congratulations to everyone else who won, and here's a shout out to all those who contribute to N4G.

Quick question. I submitted my review in August, but it wasn't approved until September. Does that review count for the month of August or September?

[Cat]

I think I answered your Q here? Let me know if you have more questions. http://forums.n4g.com/tm.as...

(it was considered in August, as that was its creation time)

[ABizzel1]

Ok better luck next time.

[Cat]

It did make the final four under consideration...prize-wise that nets you my admiration and a pat on the back. :P

I want to write a blog. I have so many things I want to talk about, but I'm gonna be honest

I just dont feel as if the community as a whole, is mature enough. People see things, especially certain topics, with tunnel vision. It would just give me a headache more than anything to try and discuss things in a civil manner, plus the whole 3 bubble thing. This is the only account I have and I just dont see the need to create another just to debate.

[zerocrossing]

You should just do it anyway, I know I'd be interested in checking out one of your blogs.

There are plenty of mature, intelligent users here on N4G, ExtremeAzure, PopRocks359, HonestDragon, coolbeans and DragonKnight to name a few.

And don't let the bubble limit get you down, people will discuss your blog with one another anyway so you don't need to join in unless you want to correct or add something to the conversation.

[SeraphimBlade]

Yes! Thanks a bunch! Los Santos, here I come!

[SKUD]

Damnit MEGA.
