This is possibly the worst analogy ever conceived, and everyone in this thread is now dumber for having read it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. One person sending 10,000 identical e-mails =/= 10,000 unique people sending one unique tweet. The idea is to spread the word about ESPORTS to people on Twitter who may not know that much about it. 1) you are able to rewrite something you read on the internet, congrats to this! it let you look very intelligent... At least you have one sentence with your own words. More than most other ... 2) so the idea is to advertise ESPORT by faking the twitter stats. Thats not really new, you call it SPAM. As good as the lets "vote up" on reddit. The goal is that more people who dont know about ESPORT know about it. So do you know how to make money without work? i want to bring this closer to you, pls pm my all your emails i will make sure your are on many spamlists so you get kind of unique mails form 10.000 people every day. It's not faking Twitter statistics if people are actually tweeting about it. JP is just asking people to tweet about it, same way Gary Danielson advertises tweeting with their #CBSFootball or whatever it is when I'm watching football on the weekends. It would be faking Twitter statistics if JP was asking people to make multiple Twitter accounts, and making multiple ones himself just spamming back and forth to eachother and retweeting himself hundreds of times. It's completely 100% legit to reach out to the community and say "Hey, let's spread the word and all tweet about this, the community already managed to get #GSL trending during the finals" It's one thing to ask people to twitter using whatever hashtag during the show if they have thoughts or opinions on the content. It's COMPLETELY DIFFERENT to what JP is about to do which is ask everyone to get their phones ready and web pages ready and all tweet something at that exact minute. "Ready guys? 3-2-1 TWEET! Har har har look we're trending! Long live #ESPORTS!!!" . His "experiment" will just prove how easily the system is gamed and that it has no real purpose since anyone with a coordinated effort can influence the system. I'll just reiterate, it's completely different when Tastosis ask people to twitter about the GSL throughout the event on their own and what JP is about to do which is a coordinated countdown to spam a certain message. If you can't see the difference, I don't know what to tell you. Wow you must not be fun at parties. I don't understand why you have such a strong moral opinion on getting a word to show up on a website... :O If a mom tells their child's soccer team that they will all get snacks if they win, are you the guy that would get up from your seat and start yelling "WHOA WHOA WHOA that is some bullshit. The other team isn't getting snacks, and yet you are trying to use an incentive to get them to play better. It wouldn't be a big deal if you would give them snacks regardless of if they won, but using it so that they play harder, then that is ridiculous! If you don't see the difference then I don't know what to tell you." Seriously though... get over it. There are SO many bigger problems with some actual relevance that you may want to consider devoting your energy towards.
Hahaahah that has to one of the best replies ever conceived.

I don't, and never said I did. I am simply willing to contribute if I have the time. Nice attempt to try to respond with a clever remark.

I fully support chicane here, as well as esports, seeya wednesday.

I swear to Christ TL has some of the biggest fucking tools on it. You should have aptitude/personality tests before allowing someone to sign up, seriously.
Any time anyone suggests to do anything to rally up eSports or SC2, you have basement trolls come out of the wood work to try to demean it. Anyone who doesn't understand the significance of setting a trend on Twitter either doesn't read the news ever or thinks social media is a neat way to talk to friends.

I will get flamed for this but I think this is an awful Idea. I understand trying to spread the word about ESPORTS but this is not the way to do it. All I see here is shameless self promotion masked as a "social experiment". This won't increase the popularity of ESPORTS, nor will it attract sponsors for any major tournaments. The fact that he suggested doing this weekly to shout out a specific sponsor if it worked shows its just a marketing gimmick.

I like this idea a lot  If we can get sponsors to see esports coming up n conversation then we can hopefully move to a whole new level of awesome I shall be sending my tweet at 9 :D

Im pretty sure JP or someone could go, Look at these people, they'll do anything to support this movement! If you sponsor us, then they can support you!

I see no problem with this whatsoever.
So what if its a marketing gimmick? If it fails who does it hurt? Maybe JP, if he ends up looking dumb because it didn't work, but really thats about it.
If it works, the increased attention could not possibly be a bad thing for SC2 in general. I don't see why anyone would have an issue with this.

Yea, I'd be on board with this. I support starcraft, not every other game that wants to hop on the band wagon of trying to become another e-sport.

I'ma go ahead and interpret that as sarcasm. Sarcasm started esports (dare you to deny it). Halo and CS started MLG / esports in the west (never watched a game of either in my life, but I still understand the importance of these games). SC2 just took it to a whole new level that was unimaginable in the west before (and already attained, and still sustained, in Korea).
Please take off your SC2 blinders and look at the bigger picture.
