Unfortunately the size of the COD community is larger then the SC2 one. I watched some Seannnaners vids or w/e his name is and hes nothing out of the ordinary youtuber, but obviously hes very popular.

Thing is, your vote only counts if you have been a regular twitter user. Not a lot of people tweet regularly over here i feel. They either just follow other people or don't even have an account. So, a lot of people can't vote even if they wanted to ( or think they voted but actually they did not meet the activity requirement)

That was a fantastic daily, really enjoyed the game.

+ Show Spoiler +

It was almost like the game restarted with with protoss switching his main base from top right to bottom left, and started his strategy from start. Fantastic use of mothership though. Looks like it's actually more of a defensive unit that one you can take into combat.

I strongly agree with this and thinks it's very valid. I arrived at it the other way around though by stating that people who are actually active on youtube with subscriptions and comments and what. It's their place, it's a different breed, the breed that would also be twittering (assumptions assumptions.. ) and then it's totally like you stated. They can all vote for seanners while people like me create a quick account to vote for our sean and most likely get dismissed.

Strange question. When Day9 accidentally showed his email and password and freaked out a while ago, what was his password? I'm not trying to figure out his password or anything like that, I'm actually just curious. I saw people said it was like "I'macoolguy" or something that.

Hopefully they will choose the winner based on more then just popular vote.

Im a toss approaching masters league and I really loved the focus on the later stages of the game in the 249th daily. I think it's especially great since it is VERY much out of my comfort zone (now that the early-mid game is rather polished) and hearing some thoughts regarding efficiency, priorities of attack and all these aspects really helps me actively improve my gameplay but first and foremost my decission making... And the fact that the game was awesome as fuck surely isn't too shabby either :D
Mo' of dat dear day[9]!!!

P.s. I dont know if many other feel like I do, but Im not very much into just watching replays and therefore a lot of my lategame knowledge is obtained solely through casts. E.g. I found it stunning that KiWiKaKi could get that many cannons and still be lacking GAS (actually having minerals for spare in the end).

P.p.s. Just so i can contradict my previous statement... I actually found a replay of KiWiKaKi vs TLO on sc2rep where KiWi uses the same expo into stargate/robo/mothership with a lot of succes

Worth watching!

REQUEST for funday monday:

Can only attack your opponent after doing a drop OR can only attack your opponent with the use of a drop (warp prism warping not allowed, but transporting yes).

Seeing some higher-level replays would be nice for this theme too.

REQUEST for funday monday:

I have one too. Your units cannot leave creep except with drones. Zergs need to realize how important creep spread is.

What about mutalisks/ovies though? :O

Wow the creep idea is brilliant! This sounds like it could be pretty cool and we'd see some queen drop + tumours which would be sick.
*Edit: that'd also incorporate drops, since the zerg would drop units and then spread creep in the opponent's base. Oh man I really hope this becomes a funday monday.

Hey guys, I'm trying to find a day[9] sound bite, it's from one daily where he talks about one player doing some cutesy stuff, and he suggests the other player's strategy should be to "just go kill him". If anyone remembers a daily where he talks a lot about murderdeathkill would be grand. I hope to come back with something cool to share if I can get some help finding this. :D

Omg, this is genius. This is freakin' genius. We'd see drops, mass queens, nydus worms, spinecrawler pushing and in-base hatcheries :D

'Tis a shame.

A guy that does this day in and day out with consistently amazing quality, and even if the quality of the matches is shit he just goes batshit crazy like that one Funday Monday, loses out to something really quite generic in my opinion. And also incredibly stagnated to the point of being boring.

Whatever. I voted. Nothing else I can do except grumble and show my disappointment in how stupid people are. And grumble I shall!

I assume air units are an exception here.

Although I have no idea how one would actually assault a base... Especially if there are tanks involved.

Yeah I dont have a twitter so didn't vote.

Poor day 9 pick a contest where the majority of your fans can vote.

Also zerg not leaving creep sounds like a great funday
