"Everyday I'm shuffling"

Yes the rumours you heard were true. The D3 Beta Key give away is finally here!!!! Blizzard has kindly rewarded us with keys to give to our staff / community. For the community keys we will be holding a series of contests for a chance to win them

6 Contest Giveaways

Contest 1: The best Blog between Mon-Wed this week. (50 post minimum requirement)
So far there are about 5 blogs that were created since it was announced, with 1 day left. Head Article Writer crAzerk will decide the winner.

Update: OVER. Escapist wins.

Contest 2: Random draw during PiG's new show tomorrow. (No minimum post required)
Probably the first person to join a random channel he creates gets it. It will be something super random and up to pig to decide, he will them tell me who won and i will send the winner the key. So... watch PiG's brand new show! http://www.justin.tv/ttpig Wednesday (Tomorrow) @ 6pm AEDT

Update: OVER. elimzke wins.

Contest 3: Best suggestion in this thread (50 post minimum requirement)
State a realistic suggestion / improvement or a new feature you would like to see on sc2sea. Not too long, not too short, creativity + feasibility of implementing the idea will stand a higher chance to win and will probably be implemented too. nirvAnA will decide the winner. This also automatically enters you in contest 4 so no need to double post.

TBD: Saturday, 4pm SGT halfway through the aLt vs SPR clan match

Contest 4: Random draw in this thread (50 post minimum requirement)
A purely random draw for everyone who posts in this thread using random.org to decide the winning user by the thread's post #. You can only post ONCE in this thread of your name will be voided from the contest. If you happen to win for contest 3 you will be of course ineligible winning here.

I know I already have one (THANK YOU NIRVANA ), but I want to make a suggestion or two anyway:

1 - SEABET! The melbourne cup of the SC2SEA community. I know the coding is difficult, but when the betting was implemented it was quite fun, and gave the site a new, fun feature to use. It could be used for SEA only games, or could also be used to bet on GSL/MLG/IEM etc games with fake money, or using the same format from the first season

2 - DOTA/LoL/HoN/FPS etc. section woop! If one of the main goals of sc2sea is to promote e sports (which is a direction we are likely headed based on the community). It would only have to be a little forum for people who play other games with an e-sport background, which could net the site a larger fan base, and more to work with in terms of tournaments, casters, admins etc. Perhaps it is something to think about, in order to further the SEA gaming scene without giving up our beloved Blizzard games

Quick Comments

nirvAnA:

<3 Really love your attitude man!

[Snx.FigJig]

Suggestion: I know it's small and probably would just require a thread, but maybe have a list of all Barcrafts in the SEA region and dates of events that will be held at what barcraft/s such as GSL finals?

Quick Comments

Paroxysm:

a little side tab (like the tournaments one) could be really helpful for people who visit barcrafts regularly! Agree :D

Biggest thing the site needs is to resize to the shape of the browser window.

I'm at work using Google Chrome. When I largen, widen or narrow the window, the chatbox and whole site should shrink and expand with it so everything remains functional.

As it stands, everything just requires a shitload of scrolling.

Also, there really needs to be an option to disable the chatbox from automatically scrolling to the bottom every time a new message appears.

Perhaps putting up a visual notification - unread messages or something - rather than instantly scrolling down would be great. That way I can scroll up and peacefully catch up on the conversation.

paperclip our saviour fixed the scroll issue thing tonight, try it out!!

Bring back ladder game analysis of the TGM coaches. They helped me a ton. It will provide the sc2sea community with useful information, tips and strategies for their games. I remember PiG started doing that a long time ago but the idea slowly died. Making 7 of the 10 articles exclusive to TGM members, as it was before, would be nice, so members get continued benefit. I understand that the coaches are very busy, so they gradually forgot or didn't have time to commit to this. I just think it's a great idea.

A sidebar tab that shows the main tournament dates would be nice. eg. "GSL Finals: XX:XXSG XX:XXAUS XX:XXNZ. This helps with keeping track of tournament games in case anyone follows them closely. It would be a hassle if someone has to manually upload it though. Maybe at least a link to gomtv.net/mlg/IGN when there's a tournament.

Well I didn't quite make the cut with my video and can't write a blog on my phone and living in korea makes winning from watching pig's show impossible so let's see if I can luck out on one of the other 2 -- for fade!

So my suggestion I have actually made before to some extent
Basically I think implementing replay parsing to the site and linking that with tournaments and leagues to automate the running of tournaments more. Once games have been played replays can be uploaded to determine score and winners with minimal admin oversight

Also it can be expanded later to have statistics on players like winrates based on map, matchup etc.

thanks you so much

I'll have a go at the suggestions for contest 3:
A) Have a section in the Diablo 3 section where you can find information or a graph that plots the Real Money vs Gold exchange rate (assuming Blizzard doesn't do their own).
B) Create a sign up roster where people can queue/ sign up their character for scheduled group games in Diablo 3 (similar to the raid sign up system commonly used in WoW guilds)
C) More competitions with small prizes (e.g. best replays showing X or Y new strat or best BM or funniest fail; best streamer of the month based on a community vote; best blog (you already have this one which is cool), best forum post or best article; most interesting update or breaking news; most active member of forum, most helpful free coach/ replay commentator, etc. Maybe you can approach Razor or TT gaming, etc to donate prizes and in return you let the community know about them.
D) A time zone clock (this is a bit random, but maybe could be cool/ useful?)
E) Allowing for even more upgrade/ customization options for your portrait (e.g. not only changing the picture, but being able to add items, effects or pets or whatever) as rewards for doing stuff or earning rep.
F) Try and invite some "celebrity" casters or players for a show match of some sort and host it here in SEA through this site.
Maybe we can challenge some professional gamer (e.g. Whitera) to take on 2 of ours for lol's - see if he can do it? I'm thinking along the lines of Team Liquid Attack with a twist. It could be a whole 1 hour show rather than just 1 show match.

[Cute]

Aww man, I wanted to try and win the blog contest! But this works too I guess :P

And I'm with Para, bring back SEABET!

you guys!

[TADivinity]

This suggestion is directly influenced by Notorious PIG (Its a nickname I hope will catch on one day :P) after his showmatch with Azz:

Give a key away to someone who can make the best word / picture on the mini-map out of hatcheries (Or any building i suppose)..on any map

The winner can then start a gallery of all the pretty pictures made on Mini-maps with buildings. lol.

[MooZfY]

Hope i win

[EveJeonSa]

I shall cast all the luck I have for today on this post so I will win the draw.
