do they accept answers from people without forum usernames, do they look at all answers sent in?

i sent mine as "Aerosoft December Quiz username liam727"

is that ok?

liam727

Sent! Man those questions were tricky! But I didn't send my forum username with the e-mail, but I am using the same e-mail that is registered with my forum username...

also is there a price range for the prizes? like a maximum cost?

Also, will you tell us/e-mail us back telling us which questions we got right/wrong, so that we can fix them!?

Just wanted to point out that the link to the questions on the main store page, still bring me to the Twotter page. Just a heads-up.

I'm going to win this. I can feel it in my bones xD

Sent my answers.

Hello Folks,

Theres no limit to the choice of download prizes.

No e-mails will be sent back they will be checked when the competition is over.

If you dont have a forum username doesn't stop you from entering but you must have a valid e-mail address.

Sent mine. This one was doable, at least I knew some answers, contrary to the quess-the-picture quizzes.
