Great job all you winners! You'll get your reward in the morning according to my time zone which is Pacific. The amount that you receive is how much I believe that you are worth individually, based upon your performance in the scavenger hunt and may not necessarily reflect the amounts posted in the OP.

Personally I feel everyone should be named as the winners. Even though im mighty p!ssed at being accused of cheating.

G-Man your fab at this kind of thing, you have a way of making everyone get involved and it was totally addictive except for the typing in green, jeeeeeeez that was a royal pain in the pooper man. I want to thank you for creating this and trying to give members some fun. From me to you :-4..... Dont tell Koan ok:D:D

I'm thinking that the next one will focus on a theme... this first one was a sort of amalgamation of several themes; history, location, education... I'd like to focus on education next time... as there are still some features... that not everyone is familiar with.

Our team will definately be playing again.

We enjoyed it and it brought us closer together as a team & good friends.

Those hours spent hounding the halls of the forum were interesting, knowledegable, creative and just tons of fun pm'ing back and forth who did what and was it right and oh, her answer was better and oh her answer is even better, it was such a blast to be a part of a team working hard and having fun!
