Fellow Gamers,
I come to you in a time of need. Over the last 3 months my family and I have been involved in a grueling weight losing contest against other people nationwide (USA). The premise of the contest is basically as follows:
1) Teams of 5
2) Each team member can only lose a maximum of 16.59% of their body weight, after this amount is reached the rest of the weight lost does not count towards your team goal.
After a lot of work my family and I were able to reach the required 16.59%. The only problem is that 5 other teams also reached the required 16.59% and as a result we have a 6 way-tie for first place. This is where you guys would step in. The way the contest is designed in case of ties is that it essentially becomes a Facebook popularity contest to see who wins. Anyways, 1st place gets $10,000, 2nd place gets $5000, and 3rd place gets $3000. I need your VOTES to win this contest. Votes wise we are currently sitting in like 4th place with like 60 votes. The team in 1st place is currently at 390 votes. There is no prize money for 4th place, and all our work outs would have been in vain.
If you guys (the Blizzard community) help us win, we will host an online STARCRAFT 2 Tournament with a prize pool of $1500. Obviously, having voted (screen shot required) would be a pre-requisite to enter this tournament. You help me, I help you. For those of you that don't know me I was a former WC3 professional gamer in the US and an SC2 professional gamer with team x6 when SC2 barely came out. I would like to give back but I need your help to do so.
Here is how you can help us:
Step 1) Go to the web browser
Step 2) go to this link
MOD EDIT
Step 3) Find MOD EDIT log in your facebook information and vote. (Hit skip on the option where healthy wage will automatically post for you)
Voting Ends December 10.
Please take a screen shot that you voted if you wish to participate in the upcoming sc2 tournament.

I'm afraid voting for you would require me to stoop the level of "using Facebook". I'd be more inclined if you, say, made it 50% of your earnings instead of just $1,500 ^_~.
Also, somewhat tasteless advertising, even if it has good SC2 intentions. WHAT IF YOU DON'T EVEN GIVE US A TOURNAMENT AFTER WINNING?

This thread suddenly made a lot more sense when I realized this was your first post.
This community only helps you in the way you ask for, if you help us in a significant way first.

I certainly see your point, but I have been around for a while (since WC3 vanilla days). There are many ways to be held accountable. Ill be glad to do anything that will give this more legitimacy. There many people that can vouch for me.

Do bring a few of those people in.

I don't doubt that you're who you say you are or anything. The image for Team BoO on the link provided for you looks like a Hispanic family, and you're name (according to check-six-gaming liquipedia page) is Carlos. What more evidence do you need there?!
Also, why would the "weight loss challenge" make the prize pool distribution be based on VOTES? That's the stupidest idea ever. It'd make much more sense to just split it evenly all 6 ways, if everyone performed equally.....

Surprised this thread is still alive

uhg, forgot this website was full of mostly trolls.

"all our work outs would have been in vain."
sorry you feel that way, because losing weight is a pretty good outcome, even if you don't win any money.

that's going to help your cause, lol. your post is so blatantly insincere, that's why everyone is giving you sh*t for it.
referring to TL as "the Blizzard community" is also a massive insult.
you might have had a chance if you offered 50%, which would have been fair since the only chance you had of winning was with help.

So basically, you just showed up here and you think we're going to shower you with votes so you can win 10 grand because losing weight wasn't a reward for you? And you're willing to sweeten the deal by giving us 15%, so that you can at least win thousands of dollars? And you have no actual evidence you'll give us jack shit once this is all over?
Really impressive offer.

Honestly, it isn't that much work to vote using facebook for it, so even if he didn't give us anything for it, you'd have lost more time making that post than you would from voting. I do believe it's actually the player though. If you knew this was credible, would you vote??
Hell, if you (BoO) could get Major or someone else with some good credibility in the SC2 scene to vouch for you here, then I'm quite confident that you could reach at least 3rd.

You do seem a bit too hung up on this one sir.

I'm a bit surprised that nobody's interested in this. I mean, it's just fricken clicking on a facebook link, it's not exactly a gruelling effort, and he's not asking for it for free either. Furthermore it's not like he's just showing up out of nowhere, as he said he WAS on check six, verifiable via its liquipedia page (last edited in 2012).
He's got my vote, I always do what I can for more Starcraft.
Edit: He literally joined TL.net in 2005 for goodness sake. Have some respect for seniority...
