| Nice report, Not quite as good as ::nobody::'s report but for a second br its not bad. Good writing style and the pictures were decent. The game didn't seem all that interesting and it wasn't that long so I guess you didn't really have many pictures to use. |

Well I think it's a great br. Hehe I might be a little bit biased though because this br made me look good. =) And yeah, I am new to Nohunters kind of. Kind of as in I've known about it for a long time but have just started being active in it.
This is the first br I've been in. Thanx ap_taktiks.
And I want to share my opinion on something. I know this should be actually said in the forum...so I'll make this quick. Some people are saying NoHunters is now full of new people who are immature and obnoxious, and that it should've been made less public. I am a new person, and I don't think I'm immature or obnoxious. Also, I played several games with NoHunters people and everyone so far seems very nice. The person who first introduced me to NoHunters, Headless_Clown, is the nicest person I've met on line. He still plays games with me when I message him, even though I blatantly sux way beyond the level of what a human being should suck. So I'm just saying...it doesn't seem like NoHunters is as bad as everyone is saying it is. Or maybe I'm just so used to the public games that crap in NoHunters seems like gold to me. I dunno, whatever.
Ok, suggestions about the br, make the pix more clear and I think more quotes from the players would give the reader a sense of being in on the game more. Latez all. |

| Yeah the game itself wasn't anything special. Just hydra drop in the back, then defiler-hydra combo up front. |

| nice. But it still lacks *something* Your writing style has no problme, just a few spelling/grammar errors. Some of the pics are horrendous. I suggest mkaign it a habit NOT to include pix that don't show anything but a drone talking to a SCV. Action pix, or pix illistrating how many of something someone has. OR chat clips are basically the pix you want. Sometimes a collage of early game BO pix are good. Also, Never, EVER blow up a pic without sharpening it. It just plain looks bad. Never shrink a pic to more than 3/4ths it's origional size. You could easily get a 10 in a few weeks. Probabally before I get a ten =] |

Excellent writing, not so good pics compared to other
BR's out there but hey, your learning.
2.jpg, 3.jpg, 7.jpg was really good pics though, nicely
remade and gave a good overview of the situation.
You started to color-code their names in the beginning
but forgot(?) to continue with it in the rest of the BR.
Some minor spelling errors as TheRubberDucky pointed out.
I give you 8
Continue with the good work and you'll have a 10 soon. |

And this is your second one?!?
Wow for a second effort you should get a 10, but because it is graded on other reports I'd give it a 8.
Your story telling kept me interested in the game, even though there were no new strategies or tactics to show. But still, it was properly written to keep my interest despite the fact that the game was unremarkable.
The pictures were a little fuzzy, but for a first time I couldn't do any better. Heh heh loved the blow up of the hydra, he looked umm scary, heh heh if I ever see a hydra that big in any of my games I'm just gonna surrender, heh heh.
Keep up the good work, all your missing now to push you up to the next level is the HTML and Java tricks. Great job though for a second effort. I'm sure the raters will agree.

yea i was trying to color coat all the names but i got lazy, after about 6hours of constant writing and picture editing when i was posting it to this site i didnt feel like hurting my head anymore=(. to be honest the game was not the best i have seen...basicly it was like this. bunkered in zerg..zerg 3,3 hydras/dswarm kill game over

hehe nice report AP, but i gotta work with you a bit on the pics =P I usually spend over 10 hours on my reports =) The pics take the bulk of the time, i can crank out really good writing in no time, cuz i like writing and take good notes. All in all a great second report, if you want I can tell you step by step the process i go through for pics and see if that helps...also, my mom is an interior designer, so i guess i have a natural flair for design =P Im gonna start working on this odd ffa i watched, so look for it and I'll look for more of your work AP! =)
Ciao!
::nobody::
p.s. AP, one more thing: if you spend so much time on it, make sure to follow it through. Finish color coding, cuz if you spent so much time on it, spend a little more so that it is the best you can do (don't mind the constructive criticizm, i liked it, but i'm just helping =P) |

Nice report. The writing in your report was good. I haven't seen the pics yet because the stupid gay computers at school won't let you see pics from Geocities or anything like that. Good report overall for the writing. I felt like I knew what was going on. WTF was up with 1 tank and 4 SCV's in the dropship??

| Hey good report. The thing is, it didnt seem like an interesting game. I was all built up becuase of your great start but it didnt keep me interested. This report lacked a sense of drama. I liked the graphics - but they only augment the text, which in this case was not as good as your first report. |
| #19 Laean (dtkim.reshall.ucsd.edu)[20132] |

Do you have macromedia Fireworks too? The image editing style looks a lot like it which unfortunatly isnt all that great (i hate fireworks, ive been trying to do a br with for like 2 months).
Anyhow... Good BR, when i clicked the link, I hoped to god you had BRed that monster rancher game tho:) |

| Putting borders on your pictures really helps separate them. It makes it look better because you can see where one picture ends and another begins. |

IMO, The pictures were not that great. What was up with that clip of chat to someone outside the game? That really interupted the flow of the report. I think this is a good example of pictures detracting from the report instead of adding to them. The pictures really did not help me visualize what was going on and that's what I think the purpose of pictures should be.
It really is a shame though because even though the pictures weren't that great, it does look like you spent a lot of time putting them together. So I guess you can at least have an "<font color=yellow>A</font>" for effort. :-)

Cool report. Although it was definitely NOT my best game by any means, it gave me a warm fuzzy feeling to see myself in a cool br!
Disclaimers:
1. I am in no way, shape, or form any good at all with terran. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing with them.
2. I don't know what I was doing with the tank and actually, 3 scvs. Brain fart I guess.
Laean, I would be more than happy to rematch sometime when I am not terran. Lol! I knew I was in trouble as soon as the game started!
aP_TaKtlkS, cool report! good job. |
| #29 Druu'giir (3-1-22.ore.fiber.net)[20260] |

| Oh yeah, and I am not the idiot ssd4 makes me out to be. I was originally supposed to observe and only joined to play at the last minute. The first time we tried to start I-Ball's computer died so we had to remake. |

Hmmm. I'd have to say this report has been underrated. I give it an eight, a nice solid gold. The writing wasn't great, but it had its high points in the little jokes. The pics weren't spectacular, but some were very nice. The report didn't have a holy essence of 10 style, but it meshed. Great job for your second BR.

~B~ Greetingz...
Good story... average game... perhapz a few "picz" of the land battlez. The graphicz and the few typoz did not phase me.... to me thatz just icing.... One suggestion... during lullz... or boring gamez... perhapz be inventive and "create" a story line. At first, I got the suggestion it may be a creative BR with a story line and "real" eventz.
Boyd of ZINJ - a 8.5 on my marker... and I was forunate enough to read your 1st one.
P.S. The terran player wrote...
2. I don't know what I was doing with the tank and actually, 3 scvs. Brain fart I guess.
Yes and the 3 marinez that should have been picked up... quickly received their bribe from the Zerg and then the swarm infested them to get their money money back for some more overlordz. |
