#4 Laean (dtkim.reshall.ucsd.edu)[14515]
great report! plague! emp! stasis! oh my! but i think you pretty much lost the game when you gave up map control.
#5 [5th]Krebster (spider-tm013.proxy.aol.com)[14520]
Really good report deserves much better than a 7
#6 MuLLay{Sky} (spider-wn053.proxy.aol.com)[14522]
Your report was really, really, enjoyable. It deserved more than a 7, or I deserved less than a 6.
#7 Macdonough (dial210-20.star-telegram.com)[14530]
hopefully more people will rate it

Uh, what happened to comments?
#13 Bob the Newt (dt030n35.tampabay.rr.com)[14542]
D'oh who rated this a seven =( I liked it, good pictures.

Heres the secret to getting a black background, as you can see I didn't figure it out on my first big BR but got in on teh second. You have to make the whole BR a table. so just start out with

'table width="500"' 'td bgcolor="000000"' 'font color="FFFFFF"'

Of course you replace the ' with >'s but thats all there is to it.





#14 Bob the Newt (dt030n35.tampabay.rr.com)[14553]
Ducky please don't include me in your insane ramblings, I want to actually have chance at becoming a rater.
#15 Von Doom (speed1.volvo.se)[14559]
YAY!!
8.5 the least..
well I only red 3/4 of it.. then I printed it..
Now i´m gonna take my burger and Coke, and read it through..
More reports like this..
it was original too..
not at all the YRM way everyone else does..
Moo!






#16 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[14563]
Your not the real Bob_The_Newt. Notice the underscores.
#17 Macdonough (dial210-68.star-telegram.com)[14567]
<font color="yellow">Thanks Newt for the background tip.</font> After I sent in the BR I remembered that some of the tags get clipped during processing for posting. I had this icky feeling while it was loading that I should have done something different. = )
Also,
Thanks to everyone for standing up for me. My rating is a disgrace! My previous BR got an 8.3 and it had poor coverage and only 5 pictures. What's up with that?

#18 Fractal_Wave (24.64.215.34.bc.wave.home.com)[14573]
Nice BR...although trusting anyone in a public FFA is a recipe for disaster..
;)

<b>REQUEST</b>: Don't sweat the ratings, homeslice! Maybe the raters are on crack. Maybe their only human, with fobiles, favorites and errors of judgement like everyone else. Lord knows, if I was a rater, everything SnowSquall wrote would be 10.0, just 'cause I find his writing style sooooo damn funny. Mac, I'm not trying to pick on you here...but a lot of previous reports people have been bitching about ratings & it bugs me.

But heck. Maybe I'm on crack.
;)

All the best,
Fractal_Wave

If anybody knows how to go about getting unbanned from the channel nohunters, could you repond to this comment here. I've been wrongfully accusing of disconnecting on T_Mac/Storminator. Thanx!

HMPH!

#24 Tariq (198.168.49.12)[14639]
sweet report but you got robbed in the ratings
#25 GameOverZ{FF} (ppp205.usr1.day-oh.siscom.net)[14645]
Man.. i don't know why such a low rating for a 8.0+ quality report. Maybe they dont like how you trusted purple like a sucker. No offence.
#26 T.T.Boy (ncache1.ford.com)[14661]
Do not fret Macdonough for I, the benovolent T.T.Boy, BR.com rater extrodinaire, will now rate your report. Hmm, excellent graphics, an exciting back and forth game, many different strategies employed, the "you are there feeling", a kind of backstab by the protoss, (but not really, FFA's are about Just Win baby)...

I give it a 9.0
Keep up the good work.
#27 shockwave (exchange1.sensable.com)[14753]
Great BR, sorry to hear that you lost in the end. I was really rooting for you! FFA's are a good example of the Highlander philosophy: "There can only be one." You'va gotta remember that whenever you go into a FFA, people will make and break alliances for their own sake. Anyone who helps someone else purely from the kindness of their heart just shouldn't be playing FFA's :-). So definitely expect to be backstabbed all the time. The only alliances I make in FFA's are the ones that help me win in the end. When one person becomes too powerful, e.g., I'll ask the others to help me attack him so that I can win in the end. They know that, they make the alliances for the same reasons, therefore it all leads to very delicate negotiating. In the FFA's I've been involved in, wins aren't determined by who's the best player, they're determined by who exercises the best diplomacy :-).
#28 Macdonough (dial208-121.star-telegram.com)[14838]
<font color="green">Know what's funny though?</font> In my previous BR, I was the one who pretended to be weak, and then won. However, I can say that I kept my dignity by not pretending to be friends. The way purple was acting compared to the end was really cold. But then again, this isn't a case about purple, but my stupid placement of trust.
Actually, the truth behind my decision was motivated by the fact that brown and I were already up in arms, and if I hadn't killed him he would have killed me.
Oh well, it was a very fun game, even though I lost.
I played another similar, yet very exciting FFA on temple that I might report on as well. So there's your "Coming Attraction" for ya.

i thought this report was like a 9 =(

nice report
#30 jeezumcrow (svweba02.statestreet.com)[15021]
well, u should never play a dishonorable game in a ffa, even if he is dying, you shouldn't get any help from him cause it sucks for the other guy, I would be so god damn pissed if I am in a ladder ffa and i lose because of cheating. Also diego maradonna is a famous soccer player (which u may know already) but he cheated by hitting the ball with his hand and denying it,into the goal of England during the semifinals of World Cup 86. I have hated Argentina and Maradonna ever since hehe, so u should of known this bastard would have been dirty.
The BR was well written with good picts and organization, but I am a bit disapointed in how you resorted help to defeat that good zerg player :(
#31 Johnny_Vegas (staff-8.ahnet.net)[15068]
Great report! I fixed the font for you.
#32 Macdonough (dial210-88.star-telegram.com)[15098]
Oh thanks Johnny. You da man!
Anyway...next BR I'm gonna use a table for the whole thing so I can change the background and it won't get clipped in the posting process.
#33 (209.57.26.2)[15231]
'table width="500"' 'td bgcolor="000000"' 'font color="FFFFFF"' heh
#34 [LoC]Sting (204.233.93.138)[15350]
Public FFA's suck, one time i stopmed this guy and he gave vision to the third guy and ran all his observers into y base. I was fairly low on troops, and the third guy hadent been bothered all game. Stupid babies
