Very short, but useful guide.
However, it would be 10 times better if you could add a picture to show the actual positioning of the bunker as you describe it in the guide.
No, that's not how it works.
Replays appear at the top when they've got the highest rating and the most votes (it's a mix of both). That's how our algorythm work.
Basically, High Quality replay + good description is your best bet.
As for friends coming to rate replays, well there's not much we can do about that. But so far we've been monitoring it and everything seems legit. No blatant abuse detected.
What I like the most is the sound you get when you level up ;)
Telecom, please calm down. Don't accuse of cheating just because you aren't winning the contest.
First of all, nobody won yet, the current top 3 rankers started at the same time as you and are totally unknown to anyone in the starcraft-replay staff, they got to this point faire and square.
I've explained to you several times why it is that you're not gaining much XP.
You need to post replays of high quality, preferably from known top players. And more importantly, you need to add a description to your replays, or people are much less inclined to check it if they don't have any idea what they're going to find in your replay. That coupled with the facts that you uploaded over 80 replays and that they're all from you or one of your friends, doesn't help. 80 replays is too much, you should've put a lot less but upped the variety and the quality of them.
As for your guides, I've replied to each and every of them and explained to you what to do to make them better. I've even edited myself one of your guides to make it look better and give you an idea of what to do with the other guides.
Trust me, this contest is still on, everyone has a chance. All you need to do is prioritize quality over quantity and you'll see that anyone can win this contest with a little effort.
I like this guide format with a video.
But it'd be better if you structured the presentation better. You should add titles, some text formating too, paragraphs, etc. Would make your guide look a ton better!
Couldn't have said it better.
It's true, Silentdeath created an account after we announced the contest. So did the other current top rankers, asides from Ashram, Tyrion and Jame, which is normal because we are moderators and we do not take part in the contest.
Jesus, there is still 5 full days left before the contest is over, everyone still has a chance. Silentdeath did 130xp in just one day, so you have 5 days to catch up what he did in less than a day today. Sounds possible to me.
And by the way we did not "Give him XP". It's not we who decide who gets XP or not. It's everyone who visits this site and decides to vote.
It's a 100% automated system, we have no influence on it, not more than any member who just created an account. We can only vote once per replay and per guide as well, just like the members.
Nice guide!
Add a few pictures and some color here and there and it'd go from great to awesome :)
