Nice use of drop shadows and the bevel and emboss layer effects. My only real advice is to add a 15/15 brightness contrast to each picture to really kick them forward.
There was one report below, done on a black background where the guy had fun looking graphics, but I think he tried to do too much and it got "busy". These graphics aren't "busy". Now people will be clamouring that you are the next YRM or crucifying you for using speech balloons.
Is it me, or is there a competitive spirit going on here among the young lions of the report writers? Well some have been around for a while, but are really starting to kick ass...

Who would have thunk it? After the FFA series report, which I'm keeping the same for continuity... hmm... maybe a new look is in order.
Anyway, gotta go read it now, but I wanted to give you props on some pretty nice graphics. |

| Nice... very nice. I like the pictures a lot (tank push one kinda confusing but effective). Great battle report... keep it up POW |
| #8 Barage (160.10.203.112)[11578] |

Great report, the pictures gave alot to the report without being too showy. The tank push helped to realy show how harsh that tank push was and the 'before after' effects provided closure (how badly he was hurt by it). The build order set-up was, imo, the best part (easy way to compare and keep note of what forces were availible, i.e. orc's double starport had set him weak against the more ground oriented Ahscar during the tank push).
A few questions, though:
How did Ahs end up not noticing that cannon?
Also, why did this not get a 10? |
| #9 Blank (115.hartford-08-09rs.ct.dial-access.att.net)[11580] |

The island where ASchar and TMac were set up is quite long. Aschar took the top half while T_mac took the lower half. It just so happens they never crossed pathes until a barracks was brought to the southern side of the island and hit cannons.... atleast, that's how I figure it=]
Wow, I figured Aschar would own all, yet he got the lowest score.... goes to show you Toss are imbalanced=] heheh

While Ahscar owns all on land he told me he rarely plays island games, I still thought he played very well, although he could have gotten ghosts a little quicker.
Sorry Barage, if you didn't understand that. I tried to be clear saying that he floated a barracks down and landed it by the cannon while it was still warping in. |

Jeez man I wish I had some time to get some BR's going. Look for one maybe Sat. or Friday. The coolest 1v1 I've played thus far was me vs. heartcutter in a terran v. terran matchup but I didn't take any pics or anything. Anywayz maybe I'll throw up a text only one again soon :)
Anywho, great report man was really fun to read and see how toss is indeed hard to beat on islands. Also thanks for the recognition YRM, but still you da man :) |

Great report Persian. Your pics did end up looking crispy. I never knew what the problem was when we spo... typed on the chat channels.
Is there any way to actually make your map bigger without breaking the pixels, like you did on that first pic? I tried cropping the minimap, and it got all blurry. I'm not used to working with low res pics. |
| #25 Persian-POW (proxy1-external.rdc1.az.home.com)[11616] |

| For that picture I didn't enlarge the minimap. I got that image from the starcraft compendium and shrunk it down. |

Excellent report POW!
I really liked the 4 BO pics.
Late game terran vs a toss enemy, and no ghosts until it was too late? Tsk tsk ...
You just gotto suspect the coming of carriers. Ah well its easy for me to say in retrospect. :) |

| #39 Apparition-X (kestrel.mainland.ab.ca)[11743] |

Hey Ahscar, what was that with the lowest score? :p Well, my turn to say that this is a tough matchup... but a couple of things you guys could have done... I think your build order might be a little better against zerg than toss or terran on island... until dweb matters terrans own drops... the advantage is so much to the terran defender that I think air power (i.e. wraith/valk transitioning to bc) is a better choice... or go drop the toss main that is usually underdefended. That would have helped vs. those stupid carriers too. The other thing (applies to Orc too) is to build a turret at the two points of your main and right away on any island you take... you may get lucky and take out a shuttle or dropship, or at very least it is good recon. Bah... terran islands is the only game I have even a small amount of talent at :(

Great report POW! Top notch game too. This was my favorite report for the last few weeks. T_Mac kicked ass eh? Way to go T_mac. I can't believe I'm like 5-1 against you (Shameless gloating I know.. hehe).
I knew it was over when I saw sairs and carriers. I mean, please.. That's just damn annoying to stop. |

| Doh, I was hoping the comment section wouldn't get tainted with that graphic. JV, T_Mac wants to play against you and I want to write a 1v1 BR. Is that ok with you, T_Mac might not be a good choice since he's is in every other report now. I've gotten tired of seeing his name everywhere, unless of course he ends up losing. |
