I agree that Timmy is a good reviewer and would certainly rock if he entered this contest, but I think that everyone has a fair chance at winning. Just saying. >_>


I agree with @Iggy, everyone on here has a fair chance at winning, you just all have to review a lot! 8)

I wasn't planning on joining, but since @AstralHunter issued that challenge, I shall take up the mantel and compete!

I agree with @Demeter-although we don't know who the competitor is yet :twisted:

I think secretly you hate me and want me to do the most reviews EVAR, Jack. YWS Cup I was just as painful.
I like you as an enemy, but I love you as a friend.
