Mass contaminate.

- Must contaminate 3 structures at once, 3 times in a game
OR
- Contaminate the same key structure 3 times in a row

But I assume that general mass contaminate should be enough for it.

Using mass contaminate with overseers. At least three simultaneous contaminate three times in the game. If you don't have anything to corrupt you can do three times in a row instead of at the same time. But the more the merrier of course.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here.

Edit: Aww, too slow.

Guys...day[9] is as of now is currently pretty far behind in the shorty awards.

Tonight at 11:59EST or 8:59 PST the shorty awards draw to a close. Now is about the time to start pulling all the stops so that Day9 and not Adam Montoya gets first.

Voters go here: http://shortyawards.com/category/gaming

Feel free to copy/paste elements of this message around if needed. I want Day[9] to win.

Seriously guys, read the shorty awards rules. Voting is for nominations only, since hes in the top 8 he has the same chance as the other people for winning.

We were voting for his nomination, not for him to win it.

EDIT: I'm not saying you shouldn't vote for him, but don't freak out over him being in 2nd place of the nominations.

These results aren't final, there's an auditing process:

Finalists for this category will be announced on Tuesday, February 15 after we do a final audit of the votes.

The Real-Time Academy of Short Form Arts & Sciences will use a combination of criteria to select the winner from among the finalists, including the number of votes, the reasons given in nominations, answers to the Shorty Interview (which you can still take here) and the content of the finalists' tweets.

Based on this, Day[9] should win easily i think.

If you get rid of all the Seananner tweets that say "his videos are epic" (despite them being below 8 minutes long, the opposite of epic...) or "he's awesome at call of dooty", Day9 would be in the lead no problem. Seananners is only popular because he's on both the Call of Duty and Minecraft hype bandwagon.

Perfect observations, completely true.

The reason I want day9 to be 1st in the votes is to show that the starcraft community is cooler than the cod community. But its probably too late now

Hope he wins the actual award

The problem is that the starcraft community is MUCH smaller than the cod community. If the judges take this difference into account they should be impressed with the following day[9] has, and i don't know but im guessing the quality of tweets between the communities are quite different. Also if they were to look at the quality of work that these two actually do, its no contest at all. I have actually watched seananners videos before hearing about the awards, and while they are ok for youtube content, the daily is a ground breaking concept in the gaming community which requires much more organization, time, and overall knowledge than simple "watch me play this game as i talk about stuff" videos. I would have loved to help day out but im not a twitter'er. Best of luck but if the judges do their job competently you wont need it.

I have to question whether or not Day9 thought this video submission thing through - the videos in question are going to be relatively close to half a gig each, and he's constantly having to free up space on his hard drive anyway :d
