I'd specify the meaning to "transferring something to a location where it can be better put to use", or "transfer with the intention of improving efficiency".
So in context: "All the scissors were at the far end of the office, so I maynarded a few to my desk" "The west branch in the commercial area was struggling in the chrismas rush, so several employees were maynarded there from the industrial regions." but not "I maynarded $50 to blizzard for the latest expansions!" (as I do not expect the money to come to better use there)
It also fits in the original quote above, but with a more subtle implication that the cultural information will be useful in the audience, that you wouldn't have gotten with the word "transferred".

Yeah I like the general premise. Basically any sort of allocation of resources from one area to another, with the intention of bringing the second location up to scratch while not sacrificing the productivity of the first area.
I actually think we can do this boys, #Maynarding
Think about all the information succinctly conveyed.
1. Too much of resource at point A, inefficient. 2. Too little of a resource at point B, or expansion is desirable to point B. 3. Process of maynarding to equalise resource allocation and improve efficiency for a long-term plan.
Sure other words can work, but are they as elegant and more importantly did they come from an RTS?!
In a world where the masses are allowed their 'selfies' and where literally literally means figuratively, DO WE NOT DESERVE OUR PLACE IN THE LEXICON, to be immortalised in language?

This made my day LOL.
So by the way, I'm still trying to understand the usage of "Maynard" and it's a little odd to me still, is there any real definition of it? I know that it's not a legit word though, just that I wanted to know what it actually means when someone is actually using them for their conversations.

In sc, it is the action of moving workers from an oversaturated base to an empty base. Typically main to natural.
What it will say in the dictionary in 5 years: "transfer; appropriately redistribute; reallocate resources in a more efficient manner"

Ah, alright thanks for the explanation with the layman's terms. That cleared the fog of ward in my head.

A super thick Queensland accent is the second worst, the worst is of course that New Zealand scum accent.

"A long macro game to win" haha
|
I used to play Starcraft on my calculator where I just put in the life of a battlecruiser and pretend a Scout was attacking it while taking into account upgrades, armor, and number of projectiles per attack.
Now it turned into Marauder vs. Zealot
|
Sometimes I catch myself thinking if "this build order is safe" about something that has NOTHING TO DO WITH STARCRAFT WHATSOEVER. AT ALL.
It's fucking weird haha.

Haha I do this also.
I pretend the rear view mirror is my mineral/gas/supply. My left side mirror is the minimap, and finally the dashboard is my control board.
Playing SC2 has really upped my driving game. I have even avoided accidents because I have hyper awareness due to SC2.
