Oh blow it  Hopping Mad  If I had realised that entries could be forged I am sure I would have found that easier that throwing the snowballs  ROFL!

ROFL! ROFL! Actually I wondered about that myself, since everyone was pasting into paint and photoshop.  But I'm sure no one would do that.  Roll Eyes

We do have a winner, however their entry can't be verified as 100% non-dodgy 'til Mark can get to his office and get access to the data on the server, but yes it's all ended and on Jan 3rd (when Mark's office is open again) we'll have a winner Smiley

I am positive our winner is geniune, but several members have expressed concern about forged entries and so I'm afraid we will have to wait. I don't believe this winner would try to trick us Smiley

Nice to hear that there's a possibilty of verification. Smiley And nice to hear that the winner is somebody we know. But waiting until 3rd of January ...  Cry

Well, so let's wait. And so there is still hope for me. Wink

OH WOW!!!   Grin Grin Grin
I can't even begin to tell you guys how excited I am!!!! 
This has been such a fun contest, and the verification process has really made for two weeks of intense anticipation.

I did practice quite a bit to get used to the game.  As someone mentioned earlier, I always kept my cursor in the middle of the screen.  Then, whenever a head popped up, I knew the exact mouse movement to make to target them.  My final score came on a game that lasted fifty minutes straight.  Needless to say, patience and concentration were the two key factors.  Every once in a while, my eyes would focus out and I'd have to shake my head to get back into it  Cheesy.

First and foremost, I would like to thank Tom and Cards Inc. for donating such wonderful cards.  These are the kind of actions that make the YakShack such a great community! I don't own any of the cards that they are offering, but am really excited to add them to my (albeit small) collection.

Thanks to all you guys for making this a tough competition.  I never thought I would be able to pull it out, as I was certain that one of you would be able to top my score. 

And thanks to Roz and Mark for setting up another fun YakShack competition, I'm just ecstatic that I was lucky enough to win one Roll Eyes.  Again, to Mark, thanks for setting up such a fun, simple, yet addictive game.

Aaron

Congrats Emmafan !!!  Cheesy  Cheesy  Cheesy

1404 is fantastic, you really deserved this price and i know what i'm talking about. I had 857 what is also very good i think. Smiley Needed almost half an hour for that and was glad, when i lost the 4th life. My eyes started burning a little bit.

But you had luck, i lost one life because my mouse was crazy, one life wasn't my mistake. Who knows what would have happened if not ...  Grin

To add to Aaron's bonus, one of the prizes from cards Inc - the Hermione UK case incentive robe, is number 6 of 830. Definitely one of the lowest numbers we have seen. If I remember rightly some very low numbers were sent to people who sent in damaged cards. I also remember Sharon has number 2 of the Privet Drive SS Prop cards.

All the same it's very cool - enjoy!

No scans at the moment I am afraid  Sad  But my brother in law who is a web designer has said he will do me a site as soon as I decide on a domain name.  This however is proving easier said than done.  Everything I think of has already been taken, even Mike's suggestion of Troll Patrol  Hopping Mad  Who in their right mind would want a web site called Troll Patrol, except me of course  Wink

I am not a huge fan of low numbers, I go by what is on the card and my number two is gorgeous  Grin  And I know this is now totally off topic but since the competition is finished I hope no one minds  Smiley.
