I hope the judges don't happen to find tweets like this: Example of one I read, "I voted for Day9 because he owes me $20." That isn't helpful. | ||

Votes from real, active Twitter users are assigned higher values. Votes from irregular accounts are assigned low values. The Shorty Awards team also performs human reviews of the votes and a final vote audit occurs after each voting round ends. "Irregular" accounts include ones that use bots, scripts, issue repetitive automatic votes, appear to have been created specifically for Shorty Awards voting, or exhibit other behavior that violates the spirit of the awards. We encourage users to report any suspicious activity to info@shortyawards.com. Sigh that is annoying for someone like me ... I have had a twitter account for a while but never post with it. I only use it to follow a small amount of people -.- | ||

Winner Selection Nominations Anyone with a valid, active, and public Twitter account can nominate any Twitter user for a Shorty Award in any category Nominees are encouraged to take the Shorty Interview to help both voters and members of the Academy get to know them The six users with the highest rank in each official category at the end of the nomination period become finalists In case of a tie, all of the nominees who tied will be included as finalists Nominations run through February 11, 2011 except in specific categories where otherwise noted Judging Members of the Real-Time Academy of Short Form Arts & Sciences will carefully review the finalists' tweets and Shorty Interview answers (if any) and fill out an anonymous survey with their choices for winners. Academy members are not allowed to vote on categories in which they are finalists or have conflicts of interest According to this, there is no reason to even vote for him anymore. He is already in the top 6, and is nominated. The people who actually pick him are not internet people, right? Sort of like US voting system, we don't really actually vote for the president, just for others to vote for us :/ | ||

Although I do feel like any TL'ers would be biased in saying this, I still feel Day[9] is much more deserving of a Shorty Award than a random youtuber who plugs himself on his home video where he just shoots people on Black-Ops. P.S. - Vote! Would love to see him in first place no matter how meaningless placement is. :D | ||

Nobody in the top 6 contributes as much to the gaming community as he does. TB probably comes in second for all the work he puts into WoW, plus his Starcraft 2 stuff. I may be wrong, but I'm confident that Day will still win the thing overall. | ||

And yeah, Day( just puts way more time and effort that that Seananners guy, even a non-biased person would realise that. | ||

"He has a beard" "His name is Seannanners" "He told me to" "..." Although some of the Day9 ones are really aggravating me "Day9 made me do it" - I really hope that they get that reference "Uniden" - I really hope they get that reference PLEASE give good reasons for Day9, not just "he's the man" | ||

We (you) can't wait for eSports to happen in the mainstream, you have to proactively make it happen. Voting is one easy way for a person to help the cause. | ||
