Rules are simple. I'm giving away ONE Supreme Commander faceplate, thanks to the kind people at Aspyr, who published the title. You must be a member in good standing, meaning you must be a registered member of XboxAddict.com and not be "banned" anytime from the beginning of the contest until a winner is selected. ("Banned" members currently posting under a new forum name will also not be eligible.) One winner will be drawn at random from all CORRECT entries submitted. XBA staff, admins and mods will not be allowed to enter.

Entries will work like this. Below, you will find some questions. Go to www.supremecommander.com for the answers. I set up an email just to use for contests here in the faceplate forums. The email is faceplateaddict@aol.com.

Email your answers along with:

Your forum name
Your real name
Your mailing address.

Once the contest is over and the winner is notified, all entries (and personal info) will be deleted. The info will NOT be used for any purpose other than to mail the prize to the winning entrant. Only one entry per person, please.

I am not going to check entries for "correctness" until the contest is over and a winner is selected. If any of the answers are incorrect, another winner will be drawn.

I was REALLY hoping that I could include a screenshot of your gamertag with the Supreme Commander demo pictured, but they don't have a demo out yet. Also, I have TWO plates to give away, but I'm only giving one away in this contest. I will give the other away in a future contest.

The value of this faceplate is approximately $200 and it has only been seen on eBay a couple of times. This would be a killer addition to anyone's collection, so I encourage you to put out the effort to get the answers in. Entries will be accepted through the end of January (or January 31 2009, 11:59 PM PDT.)


HERE ARE THE QUESTIONS:

1) Who are the two developers involved in the creation of Supreme Commander?

2) What is the ESRB rating for Supreme Commander?

3) What is the name of the war being fought?

4) What are the names of the three factions fighting in the war?
__________, ___________ and ___________ (No initials accepted - full names only.)

5) In what century does the war take place?

6) What is the name of the system you use to control your factions?
___________ and ___________ Interface.

7) How many players can play Multiplayer?

8) How many players can play Co-Op?

9) What is the name of the UEF's seaborne experimental unit?
*hint - watch the videos.

I had a really hard time with those too. I honestly spent over an hour scouring that website for every last bit of information! I probably know more about SC now than games I've played through! :rofl:

*edit*: Seriously, someone gave me neg rep for this post?

All of the answers are there. I actually perused the site to get the questions.

I just got word that I can run the Rise of the Argonauts contest. I was waiting to hear back because they already have a contest running. It requires 1000/1000 gamerscore just for entry. He said I could run with ours, though. Stay tuned.

After asking my question I believe everyone in the faceplate forum would hold this plate to a higher regard than I would. I will not take part in something so rare. Good luck to everyone.

What question did you ask?

What question did you ask?

Why you collect faceplates. If I won I'd just stick it somewhere maybe put it on. In other words I wouldn't appreciate it as much as the loyal faceplaters here.

lol well we appreciate it Fargoth - there was some blowback last time someone won a plate and immediately asked around about selling it. :confused:

Spacey: not to change the subject of this thread but on the RotA contest you mentioned do we have to have 1000/1000 gamerscore in it to enter???
If so I probably want to start now. :rofl:

nonono, ROTA forums are having a contest and that are their requirements to enter. We'll just have a little test like this one.

OK, so this contest is over. We got entries as late last night at 3 in the morning, but the entrant was in Hawaii so I still counted it.

The winner of the Supreme Commander random drawing and faceplate is....

cin84_12!!!

Woo hoo!!!

Cindy, I'll get the plate into the mail for you tomorrow.

I have one more SupCom plate that we will give away in the future. If you have NOT yet entered the Rise of the Argonauts contests (and I know a number of you haven't), please do so as soon as you can.

We also still have some Naruto:ROAN, Call of Duty 4 and FIFA Germany World Cup faceplates in our possession that we will be giving out soon. Also, there are Tom Clancy HAWX plates on their way from Germany as we speak and we will be sure to get a drawing going for those as soon as they get here because the game is not that far away. (There are more coming from places other than Germany, so I'm not sure how many we'll actually have to give away.)

Congratulations again to Cindy, and good luck to everyone in the Rise of The Argonauts contest!

Not for this contest. It's over, and the price is in the mail. You can still enter the Rise of the Argonauts contest though, and I'm going to start a Tom Clancy HAWX contest very soon.

I just opened my door today and the box was sitting on my step. This plate is so pretty. I'm adding it to my little collection. Thanks again Space.
