 		Well, I really hope folks from the UF board are the winners. I, like everyone else, would like to be a final winner!! But one would have to leave in about 5 days, right? So I guess everyone should pack their bags and make babysitting arrangements just in case! Good luck to all.

I won a weekly and two drawings. I will be giving away my two drawing gifts after the other winners are announced. I will only be drawing names from people who have not won anything and who are registered members of uf and posted at least one time in this (the Covet) thread before the game closed, even if it was to say hi.
Honor system people. PM me if you fit this description. It will be a random drawing so no need for sad stories ok??? I'll do the drawing the day after they announce the final winner.

Seconded...I will have one extra gift bag to date...


I am really awed that you would be so nice to give away your gift bags. If i was sad before about the contest being over, I am doubly so now because this forum will end. It's been so nice being involed in this "alternate reality". Oh boy I think I need some therapy.

 		 Winners
It is beyond unfair that people won THE SAME PRIZE multiple times. That makes no sense whatsoever. They shouldn't have done that. It just makes it pointless. Why does someone need multiple Covet gift bags? They should have given the other people a chance to win something.

Sorry for the people who didn't win anything, but it was a contest, not freebies. I didn't win multiple items, but if I did I would have given them away for Christmas/Birthday gifts. They would make a really nice gift.

i COULD NOT HELP BUT NOTICE THAT MANY PEOPLE DID NOT WIN, i WON ONE RANDOM DRAWING AND THE PEOPLE WHO WON MULTIPLE TIMES, DESERVE IT. I SAW PAULETE WON ON THE BLOG THEN THEY MYSTERIOUSLY LOST HER NAME FROM THE IPOD WIN I SAW IT AS DID OTHERS AND SHE SHOULD GET HER GOODIES, PERIOD. THOSE WHO WON THOSE GOT THE QUESTIONS BEFORE ANYONE ELSE AND THAT TOOK SOME WORK, SO YES THEY DESERVE IT AS TO RANDOMS, WELL THATS THE GAMBLE RIGHT. I DID NOT THINK I WOULD WIN ANYTHING IMAGINE HOW MANY PLAYED THIS GAME. I AM GREATFUL FOR THE EXPERIENCE AND NETWORKING NEW FRIENDS! THE PEOPLE WHO WON MULTIPLES OFFERED TO GIVE THEM AWAY GIVE THEM A BREAK, CMON. Embarassed I LOVED THIS GAME AND AM SAD IT IS OVER, I AM WORKIG TOWARD A COMPUTER ENGINEERING DEGREE, WHILE CARING FOR TWO CHILDREN AND A HUSBAND, SO NEEDLESS TO SAY I WAS HARDLY UP WHEN THE CHALLENGES FIRST CAME OUT, OR WAS SO SLEEPY I COULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE POINT IS BE GRATEFUL FOR THE CHANCE INSTEAD OF HATING ON THOSE WHO SHINE, PLEASE. I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO NEW YORK AND HAVE NOT PURCHASED NEW CLOTHS OTHER THAN JEANS, OR A SHIRT IN YEARS FOR ME, SO I CANNOT SAY I DON'T WANT TO WIN; HOWEVER I HOPE WHOEVER WINS IT DESERVES IT AND EVERYONE ELSE CAN JUST BE HAPPY FOR THEM, IT IS NOT GOOD TO CARRY ANIMOSITY ESPEACIALLY OVER A GAME. WE ALL WORKED HARD AND YES IT FEELS BAD TO WAIT UP AND DO THE CHALLENGES NOT WINNING, THAT IS WHY IN THE DETAILS IT SAYS ONLY SOME WILL WIN. I HOPE EVERYONE GETS SOMETHING BUT IT IS UNLIKELY, LETS JUST BE NICE MAYBE THEY WILL LET US PLAY NEXT TIME. I HAVE SO ENJOYED ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS AND COMMENTS AND WILL MISS YOU GREATLY. THOSE WHO WON NOTHING STAND A BETTER CHANCE FOR THE BIG PRIZE OR NOT? IT'S DRAWN RIGHT, I WISH YOU ALL LUCK AND HAPPINESS. NOW PLEASE MISS BLOGGER LAY THE SMACK DOWN ON US AND LET US KNOW WHO THE LUCKY WINNER IS, AND PLEASE NO HATTING ON THE WINNER, PLEASE.

That is so funny you say that! I did win two gift bags and I am planning on giving my sister one for Christmas!

The drawings were random. Those of us who won more than once had absolutely no control over it!

 		Haha...we are all crazy! I was sad about not winning, but we do have to remember that it's not the winner's fault. We all knew it was random, but I guess I assumed that the Covet people would only let you be eligible to win once for the weekly challenges. I don't know, but at least there's still a chance for the other prizes Smile If I don't win, I'll just have to ask my boyfriend for some Covet for Christmas...I've already hinted at it, LOL.

well said!!!

I mean I do understand the feeling.. Did I secretly curse those who won in the first few weeks?.... sure but I didn't openly scold them for winning. I was jealous. It's not like they are picking winners based on who has he better screen name. It is random... Have I won now... yes. did I win twice...yes... but I am giving the other gift bag to my mom who never buys anything for herself. She has been through a lot in the last couple of years.. she has survived breast cancer and I have never met a stronger woman in my life. She deserves that gift bag. I hope there are many more winners from this site and I will cheer them all on because to me EVERYONE on this site deserves a reward for doing this for the last 10 weeks.

i don't think one person derserves to win over all others just cuz they wanna win.. Everyone has worked hard on these challenges..

Thats all and I am done now!! Very Happy

Thank you agent dossier! I completely agree! Congrats to all who won you deserve it and should in no way feel guilty for winning. If you won multiple times good for you!! Go crazy and take a bath in that Covet! It's no body's business what you do with your prizes you WON them! I don't think someone who wins need to justify their personal situation to prove that they deserve to win. It's the luck of the draw or in the case of the challenges hard work and smarts! If you people are having trouble with the way the random drawing went you're really going to have trouble getting through life. Get over it.

 		BRAVO
WELL SAID BY ALL THAT HAVE POSTED ABOUT THE WINNERS
In a way we are all still WINNERS!!!! We met new people and made new friends, and even if we didn't win a prize we won something!!! I learn a little something new with each game I play here on UnFiction. The LOKI GAME was my first and now I am hooked! So please I am NOT MAD for not being picked as a random winner, I am still just learning not to WHINE when I don't win! LOL!! I played a game called Jamestown 400, lasted 7 months, I won a small prize , not a grand or second, but the things I learned about ciphering, tranlation, and sluething (sp) were PRICELESS!!!! As were the friends I made in that time span. SO I WOULD LIKE TO SAY FOR THE RECORD ... CONGRATS TO ALL WINNERS, AND "SUCK IT UP" TO THE LOSERS THAT BASHED THE WINNERS!!! Put your "big girl panties on" and move on to the next game!!!! Hope that isn't too rude, but just can't believe people would be sending or posting HATE MAIL to anyone for winning anything! LIFE GOES ON!!! See ya in another game I hope! madmad59 :O)

 		Congrats UF Winners
I was very pleased to see so many UF names on the winners lists! WTG all of you!

Mine wasn't there, oh well, I recently won a really nice new digital camera (dif game), so I can't get too upset.

To all whose minds were working overtime while suffering from sleep deprivation, you done good! You deserve the wins you received!

Good luck for the Grand Prize & the Video Challenges!
