About the Process
The community is invited to nominate Twitter users for excellence over the past year. Each award recognizes each content creator's entire body of work, not just an individual tweet. Nominations are made by sending a tweet, whether it's through this site or on Twitter.
In February, the nominees will be narrowed down to six finalists in each category. Winners will be determined by a combination of popular vote and by the members of the Real-Time Academy of Short Form Arts & Sciences. The awards ceremony, complete with 140-character acceptance speeches, will be held March 28, 2011 at the Times Center in New York City.
Turns out Day9 won't really need more votes, just a close race and then I think they'll pick him over Seananners (just mention daily #100 in your voting reasons so they look at that)
|
Made a twitter account just to vote, but my tweet doesn't appear on the "latest tweets" section on day9's shortyawards page, so I assume it auto-identified that my twitter account is new so it ignores it completely?
I voted mainly to include http://bit.ly/aFqrGT (day9 daily #100) into my post knowing that my vote wouldn't be physically counted, but I guess they won't see the text either.
People who still haven't voted but had their twitter accounts for a longer while should try to include that day9 daily #100 link into their tweet along with mentioning that it's an autobiography, to make them more likely to view it and actually watch it despite seeing its length. If they do watch that video, Day9 has this won, surely.
|
Hmm, Day seems to be short just about 200 votes unfortunately I would hate to have to make a twitter account just for this, but I will if i have to!
|
thank god it's also up to the judges on who wins, else TL had failed at achieving Sean a victory :/

i really can't believe so many people use twitter...i mean i'm like a total alien to all of you tweeters. i literally do not know anyone who uses twitter, and if my friend told me to check out his tweets i'd ridicule him for succumbing to it; i mean, who really wants to know everything about your life? day9 stalkers perhaps, but still for the everyday man twitter seems very unappealing. And yea im sure the SC2 community uses twitter more than the everyday man would, but still I just dont think the Shorty Awards are a fair representation of what most people think. In fact I think it is a rather poor representation. Anyone else with these thoughts? I wish I could vote for Day9 in some other way (a poll that limits 1 vote per IP address perhaps?), but alas i cannot because i simply choose not to publish what i am doing/thinking for the public to know. If I decide to publish my thoughts, I do not want to waste someone's time and would like to find some sort of knowledge, whether it be metaphysical (what is real) or ethical (how to live in light of what is real). And twitter just utterly fails to relay anything meaningful. And lets not even think of the marketing gold that twitter (not to mention Google!) uses for their own benefits, that would just be too subversive and attract unwanted attention. :D
|
I really like to have a twitter account so that I know when IdrA is streaming, when Artosis posts new videos and so I can see some funny Sean Plott tweets.
Kind of nice.
|
He's getting closer!
Only 4 more days. Let's go guys.
|
Go Go Day9! day9 is bringing intellect and thinking to gaming, whereas adam montoya is behind things like "machinimasports." Adam's keeping it "gaming" and day9 is making it legit
|
Like it was stated before, if you know anyone who hasn't voted. Beg them to include http://bit.ly/aFqrGT in their nomination tweet.
If any of the judges sees this specific daily (100), and more importantly sees what gaming means to Sean and his followers he will win without a doubt.
-- Also DO NOT make a nomination such as: "I nominate @day9tv because... Seananners is a fag" This will only deter the judges who are viewing the nominations, from taking Day[9] and his followers seriously and will decrease his chances substantially of winning.
|
If the judges end up seeing daily 100, they won't even need to look any further. Hell, they don't even need to watch the entirety of it. Every single time I've watched the last 5 minutes of that daily, I've gotten teary eyed. Seananners doesn't even have anything close to that amazing.
|
I had to track down my old twitter account, but I made sure to vote. I used to be a big Seananners fan, but he's incomparable to Day[9]. It's like Big Time Rush taking on Jimmy Hendrix. They might have more modern fans, but the reality is pretty clear for anyone with a truly unbiased opinion.
|
They probably won't look at his Daily#100 or base their pick on that because again, it's strictly a twitter based award. They will look at the total votes, the voters activity on twitter and the nominees tweets (most recent), as in what they tweet, if they communicate with other and etc. If they would look at content or back story of each nominee, then probably anyone who is a cancer survivor or served in the military in Iraq has a chance of winning or people who produce educational content over entertainment would win, which is not what this is really about.

The 499 idiots need to switch their votes from husky to day[9].

This isn't making fun of him, but if nominations like that lower your chances of winning, Seananners can't possibly win.... About 1/3 of his nominations are less than 5 words and include the word, "awesome." The rest are indescriptive and just say that he should.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. If Day9 actually wants to win this then he'll get on his ass and spend 5 minutes to fill out the rest of the Shorty Interview. Of the Top 6 who will get looked at by the panel, TotalBiscuit looks like the only one who deserves to win. Despite the fact that he has like less than 20% of the votes of the two ahead of him in votes, TB actually filled out the entire Shorty Interview. There are 30 questions. Day9 did 5, Seananners and The Sims 3 both did 10, Husky did none and Extra Credit did 3. Not only did TB do all of the questions, he also managed to make the answers humorous, honest and insightful.
I seriously can't understand why people would put so much effort into getting votes but not put forth the infinitesimal amount of effort required to look at the rules, see what it takes to win and fill out the friggin interview.

They're all jokes.

In my honest opinion, Day[9] needs to get over nine thousand votes.

Then as many people as possible should retweet their vote, including that 100th daily link into it.
And we need to inform Day9 somehow that he should answer the other 25 questions for the Shorty interview, but I guess he can't really be contacted through twitter/PM through TL as he probably gets hundreds of tweets/PMs per day already.
