oh well | #5  [73122] | | HNW0511.RESNET-STUDENT.UPENN.EDU | nice pictures.
Need some work on writing and description though. You did not seem to have describe battles enough. | | #6 Sil3nT[73202] | | AKCF1.xtra.co.nz | | Heh Carni hacks Shame | | #7 Zumbooruk[73235] | | AKCF1.xtra.co.nz | Grr. If Carni hacked, why was he caught by the early zergling rush?
Cretin, I recommend:
a) Color-code the players, like this: <font color = "purple">Carni</font>. That's [font color = "purple"]Carni[/font].
b) Provide a minimap at the beginning, i.e. in the title screen, and also periodically throughout the report, especially when someone gets an expansion. Also, most people are more familiar with the minimap form that has terrain in.
c) Your graphics were somewhat pixellated (how did that happen?)
d) "What preceded was a contest to see who could tech the fastest"
'Preceded' means 'came before'. You might have meant proceeded, but even that would not have made very good sense.
e) Be brave enough to use a vivid vocabulary. Some battlereporters have been criticised for it but the general feeling is that it adds to the report. However, have <i>accurate</i> vocabulary. You can't devestate six zerglings. You could kill them, maybe even slay them, but save the more powerful words for more impressive actions.
f) Have a purpose. It wasn't particularly entertaining (sorry) but had some game and strategical detail, so one might have expected the Lessons Learnt section (hackneyed, I know). It's also fairly worthwhile to include a screenshot of the scores.
g) I'd prefer an introduction, to ease into the game a little. Rather than use the text in your title image, I'd prefer player positions, colors, races, etc. to be stated (as well as illustrated by a minimap. Give the game its context. Some games don't have much context, but this did - 'Fester chose the match up with himself as Zerg and 7th-Carni as Protoss (Carni's worst race)'.
Though it sounds patronizing (that is, even more so) to say it since I know you, very good report for a first try. | | #8 Evilbob[73447] | | netcache3.is.co.za | | Yeah, what Zumbooruk said. | | #9 Fester[73587] | | CPE-144-132-194-78.nsw.bigpond.net.au | | Im a chobo.
