People complaining about their stats or their replay not being shown are completely missing the point of the Funday challenge. I personally lost a huge number of games doing the Terran challenge (Diamond) and just shrugged it off. I submitted my replay, it wasn't shown, no harm was done I still have the replays that I rewatch on occasion because you could see by the other player's actions that they were sitting there going "ya so wtf kind of unit mix is this and what do I do...." since their macro went from superb to stalled while they'd build/cancel units, buildings, etc.

If you aren't having fun doing the challenges themselves then I think you might need to re-think your participation because it's supposed to be fun not a drive at getting a replay shown or a nightmare while your w/l ratio is ruined

This new funday monday is going to be depressing as my current handle starts with a B - maybe blizzard will implement that name change today or tomorrow :D

By kill, I'm fairly certain that he means you can't kill any units of people other than the person whose name comes first in alphabetical order unless you're defending against someone's attack.

I have the same problem on firefox, but it does work on IE, I have no idea why.

No problem with firefox. Sometimes a link to the lastest vid and a link from archive are different. Try both. (or something like that, one time it happened to me too.)

I want to see a funday Monday where Terran can't use Orbital Command or Protoss can't use chrono boost.

edit: or warpgates.

most lower level terrans and protoss don't use them very well in the first place, so I don't think that'd work

So for us early letter folks (Croupier here), what should our strategy be to stay alive? (I'm protoss btw). Fast island expand? mass sentry to hold things off with FF? Major cannon defense?

Wall off and early canons, if you are lucky and run into two people doing the daily, maybe they will slaughter each others army accidentally in the process! Then you can go take out one of them.

Those sentries were so sick in game 1! Also, anyone notice Day9 winning some games against big players like HuK in his match history? I got curious and checked it out lol.

I don't even really like starcraft that much, but the dailies! I recognize the sacrifices that you make to keep them going and applaud you for them Mr. Plott! Looking forward to seeing the real life of day9

How often do you guys actually run into people doing funday monday stuff? I got carrier rushed one time during the week when that was the gimmick, but the guy claimed it wasn't for Funday!

Hmm, since my name is Brister I better pick terran and turtle like hell if I play any FFA games.

Have we got any word whether it's alphabetical from your name or from A-Z?

I guess A-Z must be the rule, otherwise it won't really be that funny to watch xD

I dare anyone to do a Double Funday Monday. FFA, alphabetical attacks only, and you can only build ONE unit that you annouce at the beginning.

I'm going for it. So far I'm 0-3 ^^.
