I've made a couple of adjustments to the arcade; most importantly, I've changed it so that everyone can now create tournaments; not just mods plus.
As a way of funding GUA's hosting costs, i've decided to offer users something extra in return for a small price. I am making avaliable 100 (93 remaining.) @giveupalready.com email addresses. Which can be setup as a stand alone email account or set to forward all email to another account.
You may choose any username for the account provided a) It isn't the username of someone else's gua account (ie not your own) b) It constitues a valid email address (certain chars such as @ are not allowed in email usernames for obvious reasons) and c) It isn't a name associated with a special meaning (eg admin, webmaster etc)
Emails will be assigned on a first come first served basis at a cost of £12 for the whole year. Anyone who has made a donation to GUA since January 2009 gets one for free (i'll need the paypal email address used for verification), moderators+ get a £2 discount, as do the first 5 signups.
To get your email account setup Pm me (Carnage) with your desired username and password and i'll give you instructions regarding payment. This thread can also be used for questions/queries.
Rules: You have to think of an active member of gua, or really really well known character of GUA's history.
Give a single hint in image form to people, and they have to guess who you're talking about. You may put the answer of who your person is in spoilers tag, so the one who answers first (or last if there's multiply replies at the same time for that answer) may repeat the instructions with another person.
(yeah the answer would be there for everyone to see it, so if you're going to cheat the only one you're going to fool is yourself )
Of course the image can't spell the user name's directly, with an arrow pointing it or anything really obvious. :V

"You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci. Joe Pesci. Two reasons; first of all, I think he's a good actor. Ok. To me, that counts. Second; he looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't fuck around. Doesn't fuck around. In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things that god was having trouble with. For years I asked god to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog. Joe Pesci straightened that cock-sucker out with one visit." - George Carlin
