It's as easy as fricken CLICKING ON HIS PROFILE Or, you could check out Check 6's liquipedia page and note the date edited. Hell, you could even realize that this guy is basically going to give the SC2 community 1500 in exchange for clicking three buttons. Hasn't anyone hear heard of not looking a gift horse in the mouth? Honestly the complaints here are just ridiculous. Sorry for getting bothered here, it probably doesn't help OP's cause, the slow decline of this community just bugs me sometimes... Edit: I mean, I "get it" (ha!), the SC2 community has a habit of contributing to things that don't make good on their promises. Here's thing though: HE'S NOT ASKING FOR MONEY. In fact, he's giving us an opportunity to GIVE us (the community) money. That's a very relevant difference. Edit2: Fuck it, I'm ranting.

I'd be more inclined if you, say, made it 50% of your earnings instead of just $1,500 ^_~. Also, somewhat tasteless advertising, even if it has good SC2 intentions. WHAT IF YOU DON'T EVEN GIVE US A TOURNAMENT AFTER WINNING? OH MY GOD NO!? YOU MEAN WE MIGHT HAVE CLICKED THREE BUTTONS FOR NOTHING?! The horror! THE HORROR! On December 09 2013 13:30 foxmeep wrote: "all our work outs would have been in vain." sorry you feel that way, because losing weight is a pretty good outcome, even if you don't win any money. that's going to help your cause, lol. your post is so blatantly insincere, that's why everyone is giving you sh*t for it. referring to TL as "the Blizzard community" is also a massive insult. you might have had a chance if you offered 50%, which would have been fair since the only chance you had of winning was with help. Right, totally fair. Because you know, we all lost 16% of our body weight, and we even have to now do the herculean task of clicking on his vote button. Hell, he should just give us all the money for the noble sacrifice we've made! On December 09 2013 13:30 AnachronisticAnarchy wrote: So basically, you just showed up here and you think we're going to shower you with votes so you can win 10 grand because losing weight wasn't a reward for you? And you're willing to sweeten the deal by giving us 15%, so that you can at least win thousands of dollars? And you have no actual evidence you'll give us jack shit once this is all over? Really impressive offer. What the hell do you want!? A god damn legally binding contract that we the undersigned will vote on his internet contest if and only if he provides us with a starcraft tournament? How in the hell does that make sense!? What's the worst that could happen if FLASH FORBID he doesn't make good on his offer? We miss out on a starcraft tournament that won't happen if we don't give him votes? That's it? That's the absolute worst thing, and the more likely outcome is we get a starcraft tournament we weren't expecting? HOW ARE PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS!?! Again, I'm sorry for ranting, sorry for getting angry, it just truly truly sickens me to see that the average starcraft fan has apparently turned into an entitled selfish brat. I thank those of you who arn't entitled selfish brats, and I mean no offence to you. On December 09 2013 14:37 Exogelatin wrote: I'm reserving judgement. Even if he is who he claims, it would be nice to have a few people vouch for his character. Then at least we have a few people to brow beat if the tournament never happens. Is that too much to ask? Your logic just seems flawed. The tournament might not happen if you click and somehow he backs out of it, or it definitely won't happen if we don't vote. If the other contestants were also presenting us with a comparable reason for voting for them then your post would make sense. | ||

Why should we help you? Having a zero post account on TL from 2005 means absolutely nothing. You clearly couldn't be bothered to be a member of the TL community in any way/shape/form these past 8 years. If you were a pretty good player in wc3 and sc2 that also means nothing, there are/were a million "pretty good players" in these games. Again, why should we give you what you want? It's not about clicking on a few links, sure that's easy, it's the idea that you want something from us that gives you gain, for a promise that we have no way to hold you to. I would be more than happy to click a few buttons for someone who had some sort of history on this site that I could see, like "oh it's that guy and he did that, or made that thread, or helped with this", but no, you come in with 1 post, and you essentially beg, so no, I will not help you, and neither should anyone else on this site who doesn't know you. | ||

Well, he was "pretty good" enough to be on an actual team. Shit, look back at Dimaga and that wedding contest. People voted for his thing and it's not like they got anything out of it. At least this guy is offering to put some of the money won into SC2. Even if there was only a 10% chance of him keeping his word with this, I think spending the few seconds (again, you spent more time typing your post) to vote for him would be worth it. $1500 more in e-sports?? I can hardly see why anyone wouldn't do this. And having a 2005 account is actually quite a feat. I believe TL started in 2002, no? | ||

Now as for voting, I see no harm in it. I don't really think people deserve money for being healthy though, or making transformations. | ||

This was me vs moon back in 2005, on the big stage in Korea. Unfortunately my gaming times are mostly behind me. I have a wife, a baby, and a full time career. You don't have to vote, but if you do it would be greatly appreciated. | ||

If you were donating half the prize you have no shot at getting, we might be more willing to help, but the promise of 1.5k out of 10 and you keeping 2nd or 3rd money is dodgy. Noone gives a shit you played Moon in 2005. If this was someone who'd done anything for the community I'd vote without a second thought, but you're just a nobody (whose word means nothing) who wants us to help you make an easy 10k/5k/3k. You don't realize just how hard it is to lose that much weight in 3 months lol. Secondly, its 10k divided by 5. That means each person gets 2k. Out of my potential $2k im giving my part ($1500) part up. | ||

The OP may have presented himself unconventionally, and it's not easy to trust those who self-promote themselves especially when TL has been rightfully very harsh against those kinds of people. But sometimes, it just saddens me how some of the TL posters can be heartless dicks for very uncompelling reasons. You could just ask politely about his credentials or something. Seriously, there are better ways to communicate here, people! Btw, I voted for you! I wish the very best for you and your family!  | ||

Oh so each of us spend 2 seconds voting for him. Lets say he doesn't fulfill his promise. Oh no we helped a father with children pay for their college educations! Seriously some of the people of this website... | ||
