My first top 5 comment. Muahahahaha...
But anyways, great report. I accidentally read the later one first because I figured the second one would be the right one. Then I read the comments and realized that the first one was the real one. Oh yeah, the picture of brown's choke with Protoss to both sides ruled. A lot.
Great job! |

You're on the right track, but that's not actually what I meant. I'll give you it anyway though. The real thing was that when I originally tried to make the big thing, I was trying to paste together pictures that were taken a few seconds apart (units moved), plus I didn't have screenshot of a few parts of the battlefield. Hence, I went into Staredit and placed all the units in the right colours then took pictures of everything in a me vs 2 comps game. None of the combat pics were taken this way, just for the pic one. Thats why my supply limit is maxed out (you can see the red/green). Normally observers dont have any supply, because they have no units. This was the answer I was looking for, but I'll accept yours. GJ nobody.

| The rest of the series is on its way. The games were long so I wanted to split them up, for the benefit of dialups. (as it is this one BR is about 500k). As for the big picture, just take a bunch of screens of the same area, then go into PSP or whatever you use for imaging, make a big blank image, then just cut and paste the other screens into it, putting them together where they fit, like a big puzzle. |

| Excellent use of pics, especially the big one. Neat idea to recreate it using staredit. As I was looking at the pic for the first time and things seemed a little...organized. I could not say why I felt this at the time, but your use of staredit does. GJ, keep it up, I look forward to seeing the conclusion. |

Cornell. Werd.
I sure as hell didn't know TA went to Cornell. Funny, cuz they played in WGL, and I was commissioner... :-) Hehe. The ultimate hack detection. Go to their rooms and scope out the game. :-)
Oh yeah. I go to Cornell too... |

Nice BR, Cynical! glad you showed up to do the tourney. Your obscure 80's humor is funny even tho I have no idea what you're talking about.
Joraster-
Yeah I can't believe how many people that I know from SC turned out to be from Cornell! StarcraftAddicts, JonaClan, you and Ewok... here I thought I would be meeting new people in this tournament =) |

Great report magician... i thought it deserved more than an 8 though. I think all youd really need to make it a 9/10 is add a bit to the pics... for instance from what ive seen the raters love to see the mini maps and sometimes idiotic quotes mixed into the pix :P they are weird that way... ;).

ok just a comment on somethin in a report:
it is life and death for PROTOSS and TERRAN far more than zerg, because zerg have to mass units, so u dont need upgrades because they dont have to be efficient. protoss have far less and far more powerful troops, so they need those upgrades to make more efficient troops. terran are stuck in between because their troops are either expensive or cheap, so depends on what u build (though i upgrade cuz i think its the most important factor).
Just some rants

| #28 CynicalMagician[46271] |
| px1cl.gv.wave.shaw.ca |
Oh come on. Protoss units hardly need to upgrade, they haul ass vs anything anyway. Dragoons do 20 damage un-upped, and zealots do 16. DT's do 40, and then air units haul ass too. Terran is a little different, as Marines are weak, but things like tanks, vultures, bc's, and even goliaths don't need to do much besides getting better armour. Zerg has to upgrade though, especially vs other zerg. Hydras do 10 EXPLOSIVE damage unupgraded, meaning they do 1/2 to small targets like infantry, and they have no base armour.

Good BR, the big pic was really really really sweet.
And upgrades are important for all races but I think terran is the most vital. (Ever seen 3/3 medarines take on 0/0 hydras, 100% ownage:P)
Oh yeah but the BR you did with me winning was far better.

Cynical Owns. I would enjoy alt-text tho. Heh.. I have memories of running with a random girl from my home town, through the streets of Cornell. We were lost, and for some reason we were running to get somewhere. I should mention that I was 14 at the time... hmmm... what's that one cafeteria called, the Big Red Barn? something like that. I enjoyed dropping food off the upper floor of that place onto other people.. Hmmm... Cornell people, if you ever have an on campus networked tourney let me know about it!

Although the zoomed-out pic was beautiful, everyone has already commented on it. My favorite pic was actually the one with the storm taking out three templars. That was an amazing shot (both the aim of the storm, and the timing of the screenshot.
Some of the action was a bit confusing to follow at times, although that could just be my trouble in trying to follow four armies at once. Great job, I look forward to seeing the next in the series.

The zoomed out shot was really cool but I agree with Haplo, the Templar shot was also really cool. The timing was really good, you can just see their souls being sucked out of their body to be tossed around for eternity in the countless mists of time.
