I was looking foward to playing State of Emergency today when I came downstairs to see a parcel in my kitchen at 8.30am. Ran upstairs half asleep, and went off to the toilet etc.. opened up the package to have a look at the game itself but I couldn't find it.

I turned it upside down, out fell a magazine, the long strip of white paper, an advert for camera film, and an order form. I also noticed that one of the sides had been selotaped down.

Now I know what it feels like to be robbed, but I would have thought when it did happen it wouldn't be stolen while in the post.

So someone actually did steal my GAD literally. So don't complain when someone else "steals" the GAD prize for a day you think you should have won - It could be worse.

I was disappointed when my post on thursday, the copycat plague, didn't win, as I thought it had a good chance

But that is real disappointment becuase you had already won. Bad luck mate

Thank you for your comfort. I haven't yet come to terms with this loss :(. Hopefully I will get it back some day...

I think they are going to replace it (thank god they are nice guys) but it just means I have to wait a bit longer to play it.. ie next weekend or later rather than this weekend :/

Er, it still got stolen or mislaid. It's not nice, when you are looking forward to playing something and you get all excited when it turns up and it's not there..

And no offence but you have only posted 18 posts, 1 review, 1 walkthrough and 5 cheats. I'm sure you will win one day, you just need to keep trying or for more chance of winning don't actually try and suprise yourself by winning. That's how I won my first gad, been trying for ages, pretty much gave up and just started enjoying the forums then what did you know I won.
