| I hope everyone enjoys this. I put 4 days of work into it, HARD work, and I think it turned out pretty good. Please comment as much as you like, and tell me what I screwed up on (though I don't think I have to ask.) BTW 1st. |

I read through it, and I have a few things to say:
1) The table was way too wide. For the pictures you were using, I'd say a table with a width of somewhere around 650 pixels would do good, and I wouldn't have to scroll horizontally.
2) Text was too big and the yellow color wasn't needed. I'd say text size should be something like 12 instead of 18. As for the color, white would have been best here.
The probe kabob was original, and was pretty good humor, at least for my standards.

| This looks like a pretty good BR, but its too wide for my moniter settings, and my computer wont let me change them anymore!!! Oh yeah, i've been wondering, what causes the messed up side? Its like that on this BR, and both of hostile~SCV's BRs... |

Just based on your text alone you did a decent job. But coupled with the fact that the font was to bright/large, and the pics were kind of bizzare looking didn't help. You did put a lot of work into this, and I am sure that you will do much better after reading everyones comments on this. The probe thing was funny.
Unfortunately you had 2 players that used offensive cannons, and lost to offensive cannons. Try to get better players next time.

| Doh! I forgot my monitor is set to 1000 wide pixels. I knew something was screwy. Ok, next time I'll remember to set my screen to 800x600 so I can get a better perspective on what everyone else sees. As for the pics, I think I did use too many speech bubbles, but I was using a picture editor that was being fussy, and I didn't know how to change the canvas until AFTER is finished. Typical me. And as for the players......I can't believe hypnotiZe got cannoned like that. Oh well. At least I know I can make people laugh. |

I'm pretty sure that most people use 1024 X 768. That's what I use for my BR's.
Make the font a lot smaller, trim the pic size a little, and you should be making gold stuff in no time.

| Besides having to scroll side to side and not being able to see some pictures the writing was hilarious. Keep making br's. maybe you could get some 10's? |

| Fox i dont thin kyou should put hte palyers skill level int othe rating. Not everyone has acess to pillars games. |

Cyanbloodbane! Ahem. But at this site, if you want a report that people want to read. They would prefer to see better players. Understand that a bulk of the players at this site are either very good or are trying to get good. By reading reports of better players, or cool strats. If LivingException did a BR between Maynard and Grrrr... I know that it would get a higher rating, and why wouldn't it?
We rate reports on how good they are and to let the visitor to the site know if it is worth reading or not. Obviously a game between Maynard and Grrrr... everyone wants to read. Unless of course if the writing sucks ass. But if you posteda long P vs Z game between two newbies and then posted an almost identical match between Grrrr... and Maynard which would you read?
I know not everyone has access to Pillars games, I don't either, but I am sure they would like to read them. Look at Bane's report. So telling someone to get better players is a piece of advice, not a mockery of his report. The better LivingException gets the better players will like to be in his report.
Oh and LivingException the work you said you put into this report, I can see one day you reporting the elite players with this kind of work ethic..... That is if they are still playing SC in the future.

good report, a couple of the pics didnt work for me(anyone else have this happen?), the pics were kinda fuzzy, but the writing was excellent, and i think everything else has been said
btw i had 3 eggs at main and 1 at exp hatch at same time, so that is what drove zeal and rines away
and does anyone know who bread is?
fox, the worst player in here was bread, hypnotize and realize were both good and fun to play with, just that one of them happened to die to cheese... :/(bread was only person to offensive cannon, u said two, but i think i misread you, its late, im tired, this prob makes no sense) |

I cant say anything that hasnt been adressed before except this: dont lower the resolution on the imaged that much, it looks bad imo.I'm sure you'd get an 8 if the report's layout was more easy 2 go through.One more thing i like seeing in reports is minimap screenshots since i usualy just read small parts from reports and just stare at the pretty pictures :D.

Good BR, but the text was too big and colourful (YES NO TYPO) The pics were also, well, modified too much?
oh yeah btw.... ur never on b.net hostile omg |

em, i agree that the table was too wide, but anyhow at first i thought this was another one of those reports trying to be as funny as YRM's bubble pictures, but it got really funny such as the marine complaining about being faithful to his wifey bubble :) and I like that probe pict as a star with.
i think all the pictures really helped me see the game more clearly and i dont see why it would be a bad game with cannon pushes, its all in the game.
Heck I did a late cannon push with a probe i had snuck for scouting purpose in a terran base, taking a chance i slowly made a pylon then 2 cannons and 2 more when those were warped at terran 12:00 base, this was already when he had gas, academy and by the time my 4 cannons warped in, he was arleday attacking my terran partner with a squad of marines bats and medics, he was so pissed with the cannon push that he left after failing to dislodge it ( he tried but only got 2 out of the 4 cannons)
Um this may seem cheap, but who wouldnt resist doing this to a 1150 + ladder player (Maniacthezealot) which was his record :) My parnter was gleeful when he saw my building color in his base in the mini map hehe.

| Testosterone, the program I used to make this was a thing called LivePix. I struggled with it while I was making everyhitng cuase I couldn't figure out how to adjust the canvas size. Alot of those bubble were actually used as space fillers because there was so much empty stuff. But now I think I'll use the bubbles as apart of my pics. |

Very good report. This deserved at least a 7, not a 6. I think everyone started saying 6 just because BW-Sux implied that he would give it that rating in comment #4. Oh well, it's hard to escape the lemmings these days.

mourningwood - why are u guessing that the raters are lemmings? Thats so gay, and lenmmings dont just follow, thats fucking sheep. Lemmings walk off cliffs and shit because they only know that they need to migrate.
Living Exception, this report was awesome. the only problems were cosmetic, and youre obviously improving at a furious rate since this is your second report. Great job, and i especially like the attention to detail that your writing had here.
keep it up

Hmmmm... don't mock the players plz... well at least not Testosterone, he is quite good in my book. The rest I dunno.
This wasn't too wide for me, and since my browser is screwed I didn't have to deal with screwy text color
( yellow?!) That might've hurt you, but I didn't see it so it doesn't.
The up side of this report was that you used the mistakes of the newbie-seeming players to make points which can help the newbie level players who read this report. The thing about running away the probes, about checking your own base, etc. Since I have a weird idea that a BR should either teach or entertain, and since you did both I would probably give you a seven even though you had several technical and asthetic mistakes. |
