| Woohoo, let's hear it for the Terrans and their scrap metal underdog units. :) I'm still finding it hard to believe you gave the guy an ally vic after he taunted you multiple times though. Perhaps Commander Vegas is getting soft? (j/k) :P |
| #2 Ag2000[353] |
|
| What a great story. I never knew that you could have allied vics on ladder games. And I too have a deep dark dirty secret of liking to use valkeries. |
| #3 Johnny_Vegas[354] |
|
| Crap, it wasnt a ladder game! I will change that. |
| #4 Superman[JL][355] |
|
| Excellent beginning story. Got me in the mood and all gushy inside. Great battle. I myself was experiencing connection problems this past weekend and disconnected. Nice to know there are people who are understanding. |
| #5 Upgraded_Probe[356] |
|
why the hell did you ally with that guy? :)
If I were Johnny, I NEVER would have allied with him. He was dissen you guys and insulting you.. oh well! I will kill him! |
| #6 Smoked Pork[363] |
|
Kudos! Exemplary report, Johnny. You have officially raised the bar. Being a writer, I'd have to say that this is easily the most well composed and entertaining battle report I've read, ever; nevermind the screenshot bonus points. Excellent work!
Mark, you're going to have to pick things up a bit to contend with reporting of this caliber. ;) |
| #7 Dev[364] |
|
Nice, JV, as usual. (: Valkryies may have trouble with equal cost "cheese" corsair squadrons, but they shred through wraiths and mutalisks like they're made of aluminum foil (in fact, I think wraiths ARE made of aluminum foil).
On a side note, you ever see a nuke and 2 EMP's obliterate a screenful of protoss tech buildings? (:
'Have fun with that last gateway, you're gonna need it!' |
| #8 Johnny_Vegas[366] |
|
| Hey Smoked-Pork thanks for the comments. BTW do you want your bribe money as cash or check? |
| #9 Mark4[367] |
|
| Whoa. A great effort by the master himself. |
| #10 Chargon[368] |
|
Great report, you didnt make me look to bad. :)
I just have one question:
Why didnt you use the infested terrans to finish his base???? Thats why i wanted to stay alive, watching infested's crush the winers base would have been great. |
| #11 [FLS]prozerran[369] |
|
| Good job bro! I personally rarely use valks and vultures cuz I can't handle the micro there without losing most of my other attention macroing, teching and expanding. Good read, nice tactics, and good job! |
| #12 Johnny_Vegas[370] |
|
| Chargon: Well I didn't feel like sitting around waiting for the infested terrans to get built. Besides, when I 12 Battle cruisers at 3/3 little can convince me to not attack with them. =] |
| #13 Chargon[371] |
|
Johnny: I just like those things
I even set my own building down so one would run in to it.:) |
| #14 Smoked Pork[372] |
|
| Johnny, I'd prefer money order. Thanks. |
| #15 Templar of doom[375] |
|
| good report but there were a few places where he could have attacked your base with only 3 marines in it, also early air but he must have never really seen your base too much. |
| #16 DisgruntledApe[379] |
|
| Wow! Great report! You have an excellent writing style that makes the game seem so real. Good job. |
| #17 Shiroman[395] |
|
| That was like... a campaign from the single player game! I gotta try that! |
| #18 treesparrow[414] |
|
| Ahh... finally someone that knows the power of mine containment :) good BR Vegas, as usual. |
| #19 Templisk[458] |
|
| Cool writing style. I really liked it. |
| #20 :+renegade95+:[496] |
|
I didnt finish reading it cause this "SCV's report that" crap. No offense, but this isn't nessecarily a "Narrative" crap site. Next time u make a report say
he made a cc to the left
not
A lone SCV reported the apocolypse of a command center under construction on the expansion at waypoint alpha. |
| #21 Johnny_Vegas[517] |
|
| Renegade95: Thanks for the comments. However it appears most people prefer my "narrative" style. I didn't fail to include strategy mixed in with the story. |
| #22 .Praetor[555] |
|
| Great report Johnny! Just one question. How do the mines keep terrans contained, when they can just walk out with 12 marines and shoot any mines that pop up? |
| #23 [FLS]prozerran[570] |
|
| When the mines are closely packed, they poped out at the same time so marines can't shoot all of them down. |
| #24 Bob the Newt[704] |
|
| Your being way too nice to renegade Johnny. |
| #25 .Praetor[946] |
|
| Hey Johnny, did anyone besides you rate the report. You're the only 10!! (Then again, I haven't check ~CB~'s ratings.) You desereved it though! |
| #26 Johnny_Vegas[948] |
|
| We at Battle Reports Online do not rate our own reports. |
| #27 Johnny_Vegas[1755] |
|
| I think someone should give me a 9. I don't think I deserve a ten for this really. |

Hi! 22/11/01
I dunno, it's definately higher than a seven. Probably a 9, maybe an 8. Sure it doesn't have that "special something" that makes a report a 10, but it's still a great report.

Although I wasn't around then, I can tell I would of liked the old days. There seems to have been a lot less flaming, and everyone seems to have been so nice. It's unfortunate that the site has gone downhill from there. Sometimes I wish I could recreate the atmosphere of a community as nice as this one used to be.
Johnny Vegas appears to me to have been not only a good writer and battle reporter, but an innovative Starcraft player. He also seems to have been extremely nice (an increasingly rare quality nowadays, only four short years later). A nice bit of work is displayed here, and although by today's standards I'm afraid to say it wouldn't get a ten, back then it surely deserved this high rating and more.
I wonder where Johnny Vegas is now?
Bye,
Me |

This comment section is like a living historical account. BTW its 8/18/04, I was 23 when I wrote this, now I'm 28. Wow.
I'm pretty amazed this got a 10, but that just goes to show you how much the art of battle reporting has grown.
As I write this, we are in the process of revamping the site, so that we stay fresh for another 5 years. |
