I'd be willing to "donate/pay" a pretty reasonable amount to give commentary on a replay of a game I'd lost. You could put it up too for other people, though as I'm only a low diamond/high platnum player it probably wouldn't be too interesting to the masses (though you have a way of making most games pretty interesting). mjewkes How much are you willing to pay? I doubt day9 has the time to do things like that for anything less than $100. You should try gosucoaching.com. | ||

I mean, I know the internet-infrastructure is quite far behind in USA, but seriously. I had 100/100 at my HOME 6 years ago, for practically no money at all. I got myself a giggle :D There are terrible internet connections all over the US at small colleges--my undergraduate school had 4.5Mbps up and down total for 2500 people  It was literally unusable much of the time | ||

I'd also appreciate a link to the video, or knowing which one of the Day[9] Countdown party videos from the blip.tv account I can find it in. It's really good content, just a bit long to scan through it all Thanks!! | ||

After daily #157 (A Long, Insane ZvT) there was a lot of arguing in the stream's chat. There were 2 sides, people who thought that there Terran player was being very cheap for forcing a draw in the way that he did, and those who thought that it was perfectly fine as there is money on the line and one should do whatever it takes to win (or in this case, just not lose). The latter, I believe, is deeply flawed. But then again, I am not a progamer. So I will share with you a similar circumstance involving one. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=29303 "“Yellow’s GG” incident During a match Yellow is a minute away from a certain defeat. Then, suddenly his computer starts to falter and the drop screen comes up. Here, Yellow types GG like a true sportsman and leaves the game admitting defeat. After this he received an ovation from his fans, praising his manner and sportsmanship." The game could have been replayed, had Yell0w wanted it to be. He wouldn't even of had to do anything. But he knew that he lost. He knew that he had lost and that to replay the game would have been dishonest. So he admitted defeat, like a true sportsman. Yell0w has already held a very special place in my heart, ever since I began following professional Starcraft. That example of class and sportsmanship always makes me smile every time I think about it. Of course, if someone wishes to force a draw like the Terran player did in daily #157, then that is their choice. And if someone wants to defend it, then that is their choice as well. Even so, I think it is important for people on both sides of this issue to just be aware of this incident involving Yell0w, and how he chose to react. | ||

I am the representative from HY STONE DEPOT that visited the event. We are proud to support the local E-sports communities and are honored to able to of help the Day9 Countdown Party event. We believe E-Sports have a bright future and look forward to support the community again. HY Stone Depot Inc. is a leading kitchen and bath countertops, tiles, and cabinets retailer for the Greater Los Angeles area. We are located right off the 10 Freeway at the Rosemead Exit. Additionally, we will be rolling out a new program call www.mydiykitchen.com in the later half of this year. Through the www.mydiykitchen.com portal, we will provide free estimate and design services, ship custom build modular kitchen and bathroom supplies, as well as provide video tutorials and on-call experts to assist adventurous Do-It-Yourselfers looking to remodeling their homes anywhere within the 48 states. The Day9 Countdown Party was an incredibly successful event hosted right here locally at Harvey Mudd College, Los Angeles. As a sponsor, we felt the growing E-Sports communities provide a viable and affordable marketing platform for small and medium businesses with limited public relations budgets. However most traditional, Brick&Mortar businesses continue to ignore this platform for sponsorship. We hope our example will prompt other traditionally offline and local businesses into supporting local tournaments, lan, and other Esports events. Any growth in the E-sports industry will be dependent on such support. We believe our sponsorship was a positive experience for all parties involved. We had received significant exposure in exchange for a small portion of our overall marketing budget, and generated good will with the E-sports community. It was an enjoyable and positive experience. Sincerely, Fred Hong HY Stone Depot 3268 Rosemead Blvd El Monte, CA 91731 Tel: 626-573-8899 626-573-1899 Fax: 626-571-8877 | ||

And if someone wants to defend it, then that is their choice as well. Even so, I think it is important for people on both sides of this issue to just be aware of this incident involving Yell0w, and how he chose to react. There are a few interesting things to consider in, if not that specific example, these sorts of situations: a)What if the player who thinks he should forfeit is flat out wrong and they are still in the game, is it really wise for them to trust their judgment? b)There's no way of distinguishing incompetent bad manner people who *think* they have won and therefor they expect the other player to quit from people who actually know what they're talking about, so the whole idea that people should quit is totally flawed. c)By quitting early, player A makes it clear to the other player that they are the kind of person who will quit in a "hopeless" situation, this allows player B to "know" that if player A hasn't quit he is still in the game and must look for hidden expansions and other things like that, when otherwise he may get complacent and lose. d)It discounts monumental screwups where the winning player just throws the game away, it happens, more common in games like WC3 with creeps though. d)The best games are in my opinion, always phenomenal comebacks, if you try and coerce people into quitting then won't we have fewer of these especially fantastic games? e)It's not the rules, its vague. If it should be done this way then just incorporate it into the game. Having things simple like last building standing is clear and easy to for everyone to understand, so it's best that way. PS. I stop playing when I feel like it, which tends to be when it's clear to me I've lost, and am always offended when someone expects me to quit before I have decided for myself to do so. Theres nothing more bad manner than saying gg and then not quitting, it's the most presumptuous bad manner thing to say. So in my opinion, the only people who were rude or inappropriate were those who commented negatively. Oh wait and here's the No.1 all time Best Reason Ever to accept players forcing a draw: Because it's The Rules. So in order to win, you have to consider that the other player may force a draw! If you are not considering that the other player may force a draw, you have an unfair advantage because that's one less thing you have to worry about that a better player would consider. You know what I mean? | ||

I draw a distinction between Yell0w's circumstance and that game; in the former case technical difficulties threatened to end the game, in the latter the game was drawn out through legal play. It's the difference between conceding a chess match after an earthquake upsets the board and playing for a stalemate once checkmate is no longer viable. | ||

Sounds reasonable to me. | ||
