The first one wasnt that bad, perhaps even better, easier to read, but its a great report, in both versions.
Anyway, keep writing (and give me something to do in my spare time :). |

Damn my name is too long... I gotta pick one. NEWAYS, nice report. This was a wonderful report (easy to follow, useful pics) but I've seen too many A-X games to give my opinion. I've seen all this before. Especially Apex/Ahscar games. I haven't seen a close game they played in forever. Everytime they're on the same team it's ownage. Hrm... so what I'm saying is wonderful report. But I've seen, heard of, and played in many A-X games that seem to be as close as this one seems to be, but were really rollovers. What I've learned with the Apex/Ahscar combo is that if they don't rush you to death, then they're toying with you. That's my opinion at least. PLEASE don't get me wrong.... this is one of the very very few reports i've had PLEASURE in reading, and I love your writing style. Clean and concise. I'm just giving my opinion on the game.
Ohh yeah... the font colors on Persian and Ahscar are very hard to read on gunmetal grey background. Dat's bout it. 6:30 AM, time to go to bed. LOL

| One not so trivial mistake, Ahscar started at 6:00, and Apex started at 3:00. You had all that information right in the rest of the report but you switched them in the introduction. Get someone to fix that for you. |

Cool report. I blame Lewis for our loss though, he should have spent more time defending my base and less time getting attacked. I blame apex as well for putting gay tanks in the middle, the middle is meant to be shared by all, not be taken over by totalitarian maniac.
Now that its established that I'm in no way responsible for our losing I would like to say cool report again. |

I like the report, but the pictures where kinda messed up. Still, nice report. The intro was damned funny.
BTW, Haven't i played you? Or was that some other drefsab? |
| #7 Drefsab (208.210.56.51)[16693] |
|
hmm, well i'm glad you guys like it. Can someone give me some feedback on the background. Did it make the pictures too hard to see?
Also, I wrote the story at the beginning and included it in this BR so that the readers whose browsers d/l the text first, have something to read while they wait for the 24 pics to d/l.
Persian, you're right. Shoot, can someone fix the beginning so that Ahscar is starting at 6:00 and Apex at 3:00? |

This was excellent. A good report of a good game, on a really, really great map!
(hehee)
Personally, the back ground annoyed me & made the pictures harder to see...but what the heck do I know?

i think that lewis should say sorry right now.

About the background thing, Ahscar-X in purple doesn't go with the background. It is tough to pick up purple words from teh background. Blue and brown is just about ok. Red and white work best.
Otherwise good stuff. Apex does kick so much ass. At first when I thought Lewis and Persian has expanded and Ahscar-X still hasn't, surely Lewis and Persian are going to win. Little do I know how Apex just turn the whole thing around. |

We all know that Persian cost us the game. He let those a-x guys cliff siege me and lurker me all game. I'M ur KING u shitty bodyguard, ur 1 st task is to protect me, u r second was to destroy the enemis !! U failed in both task, u shall be punish ...
Oh btw, i think T_mac should stop buying porno and this way he could spent 30$ on a new BW cd.

I'm sorry... I'm still apparrently the only one that doesn't consider this a good game. I mean, yeah you hurt Ahscar a bit, but he was still able to do damage against the others which means he wasn't hurt that bad. Apex never got touched and just won the game with one major offensive into the base.
There really wasn't anything fancy in the game, no fancy drops, no special stuff except Ahscar's usual lurker strat. It was just a clean win. If someone could fill me in on how this was a close game I would love to hear it and change my mind. Again, DON"T GET ME WRONG, great report, I loved the background even though like i said before it made some names hard to see, I didn't feel it effected the pics at all. And the story at the beginning was funny as hell. The only greivance I have is the game. It was well written, humorous at the beginning, and very effective pictures.

| #20 Drefsab (208.210.56.51)[16715] |

Eggfoo,
I thought it was a close game until it reached the mid game, because early on, the Lewis and Persian both had expansions. Apex had 1, but Ahscar's got demolished. Also, Ahscar launched 2 offensives at Lewis, both of which did very little damage besides infantry kills. Apex didn't really take over until the midgame when he moved his tanks and took over the middle of the map. You have to admit, for the first half of the report, you weren't really sure what was going to happen. :-) Now I do have to admit, once Apex had solidly established control in the middle and was mining out of 4 bases, and Lewis/Persian failed to finish off Aschar, then the games was pretty much decided.

A rule of thumb is, if you're not sure if a background is too prominent, it is. You could have worked with this background with picture borders and careful attention to text color that went on it. Otherwise good job.
Here's another tip on backgrounds. They should be of a value between 0% - 10% or 90% - 100%... In otherwords, almost white or black. You CAN pull stuff off out of that range, but it's tougher. Then, when you've chosen a light or dark background, make sure ALL type colors are the opposite.
On dark, don't use blue or maroon or purple or green or black.
On light, don't use yellow or cyan or white.
If your color is borderline, say for a person's name, BOLD it. <FONT color="blue">hard to read... <B>easier</B></FONT>
YRM's contrast tips for the day. Otherwise good work. |

| Hmm... actually, the blue is neon enough to show up on the black semi-ok... but you get the point. |
| #23 Eggfoo-young/Dabel/Amber-X (r67h91.res.gatech.edu)[16720] |

| Drefsab. i'm sorry. I've seen a lot of A-X games though (wonder how) and that's nothing new. Ahscar did that to take out his military. If apex got hit, ahscar would have whored expansions. Watch a few more games and you see them all turn out the same. I guess the only reason this wasn't such a good game was that i've seen it before, been on the receiving side, and even occasionally one the sending side. I guess it was a good game, but you can see why I never br a-x games anymore. Watch a few more just to watch and think about why they are doing stuff. Trust me, i've seen several games where ahscar holds off rushes and lets apex get like 15 hatches and then run over his opponents with two mass hordes of hydras or some stuff like that. It's new to people who haven't played a good 2v2 with them, but old to me who has seen most of em. |

YRM, thanks for the tips. Picture borders, what a novel idea. My question to you is this. In my BRs, I try to highlight each player with the color that they were playing as in the game. What do you do if two of the colors are good on dark, and two on white? Bold the two that are hard to see?
Eggfoo, New for me, old for you, i understand now :-) |

| Doh, Omni will never like me now after I did my 6pool of protest. I forgot what I was protesting so it probably wasn't very important, but as always, it wasn't my fault we lost. Omni should have spent more time attacking and defending me so when Orc marched into my defenseless base with 24 lings I wouldn't have died and my 5 drones could've mined a little longer. |

As to Player Colors...
You could go with a variety of tones... lets say a player is AQUA. <FONT COLOR="cyan">aqua</FONT> <FONT COLOR=#31ada5>aqua</FONT> <FONT COLOR=#087b7b>aqua</FONT>
There are a variety of HEX colors. Look up a "Hexidecimal Equivalent" table online to match RGB colors to HEX. OR look up a "common HEX color chart".
<FONT COLOR="yellow">yellow</FONT> <FONT COLOR=#D6c610>yellow</FONT> <FONT COLOR=#d66321>yellow</FONT>
You may notice that the color of this type isn't WHITE... <FONT COLOR="white">THIS IS WHITE</FONT> White was a little to "contrasty" for reading hundreds of comments. |

| #42 Persian-POW (proxy1-external.rdc1.az.home.com)[16769] |

| Silver Thunder, I'm pretty sure there's no real hostility toward A-X since we were all just kidding around. However, if it appears there is hostility it's Bob's fault since he started the whole A-X sucks movement. |

Great report! I thought the background rocked, but since I just got online my eyes weren't burned out yet, I suppose...(?)
neway, I thought that report displayed vulnerability on Ahscar's part at least, but EFY sez it's all part of the greater 2 v 2 strategy...I'm inclined to believe it. It certainly worked out that way=} |

No, its was a small pic. When you set that pic as the background it tiles it throughout the report... :)
So now I've got Angelfire tile... :(
