Good BR....Nice screenies, made a good read. However, Black text on a black background can become frustrating... ;)
A solid 7+, IMO. |

| n00b: it shouldn't be black on black. it should be white text on a black background. it shows up properly on ie5 and netscape 6. i am not sure what you are using. sorry if that was the case for you. thanks for your nice comments otherwise. |

Wow....that was good.
However, there is a shift key, use it.
I'd say 9 - 1 for the lack of capitalization.
8. |

Well, I *think* Im using IE5.5 :)
Some of the text is white on black, but the vast majority was black. Obviously, this was easily got around with ctrl+A, so nm :)
Good luck with your future BR's! |

mep: the lack of caps was purposely done. i am a non caps man, it looks much more stylish. but thanks for your nice comments man :)
n00b: well, i am not sure why this was. i implemented a stylesheet at the very end of making the br and prolly didn't delete all the font tags or something like that. sorry, but i am glad you read it despite this problem (which i don't have or others i have asked). |

WOW...that was a great report. Although...I agree with mep. good grammar is really important in a BR. Although I am not using it well here, don't use me as an example.
You also should have highlighted every mention of the players names. It may sound stupid, and I know it can get boring, but sometimes you have to do it.
This was still a great report with good graphics. I give it an 8.

squad: well i used caps for the player's names but i just like to have lowercase for everything else. i wouldn't change it even if i was told i would get a 10 if i did ;)
and i know how you mean when you say i should have highlighted all the player's names but i felt it would work out better if i didn't. i think it makes it harder to read the br and you have to concentrate more on what i am saying BUT i think if you do this, it works out better.
thanks :) |

Very well set up, lots of detail, and a prety good game, well done. When u do a colage of an attack, try to slot in a minimap to show where it's goinf on and what else is on the map at the time.
Lastly, the one theing that really detracted from it in my veiw was the pointless swearing in the text and that picture. It's un-nessasary, and gives it a bad edge, try to avoid doing tha in future please.
otherwise, i expect this'll get ~8-ish, so well done. Good pics, well set out and good quality, thanx for a good read, but perhaps try getting a game which is longer next time so you don't have to string out the initial builds for 8 paragraphs.

| pr-netcache-1.server.uk.worldonline.com |
ling: the swearing was pointless, you're right about it. thanks for the good comments. i'll try to remember the minimap for the future. i think i included it for one attack only and another time just to give the reader a better idea of things.
and this is probably the best game i've ever had on battle.net to be honest. it's hard to find good games. sorry. |

Wow....great BR. The pics,text,etc., were all good. Pics looked very nice. I just have a few small complaints.
Capitalize sentences plz.thx,gw.
Grammar is very important. Like many other BR-ers,learn how to use periods.
Some pics were a little hard to see/read.
I'm not sure if you're british/canadian/austrailian or whatever,but "Trouser Department"?
Other than that,great BR. Players did some funny-ass stuff,like when the terran dude sent 8 SCV's to attack a probe =O
All in all,good work.Keep em coming.8+ easily.

patton: that terran dude was me, lol.
i'm british, hopefully the brits will get that quote.
grammer is important, any mistakes (apart from non-caps which i did on purpose - except for player names) were due to time - i am a busy person, i did all this within 6 hours.
i agree, some pics are a tad harder to read than i would have liked. i did rush a little too much.
thanks though. |

Real nice BR. The pics were good, along with the text. I don't want to seem repetitious of what the others were saying, but the no capitals got a little annoying, and I noticed a few grammar mistakes, and considering I have terrible grammar (from what people tell me in my BRs), I shouldn't be complaining to much, I just wanted to point it out.
Apart from that though, nice BR, I'd give it a 7. |

| #25 Aiurs~Pride[95085] |
| HSE-London-ppp196056.sympatico.ca |
| This game seemed a little one-sided in my opinion. Teal went for every single toss tech in a 2v2 which usually spells a loss for that team although your writing and BR style makes up for it in spades. Also next time you do a BR don't put you in the game cause people never write Br's when they lose ;]. Next time obs a game and BR that if it is good because this game was really one sided. 9 hatch takes a lot of funds and yeah no one was really aggressive not fast paced. Your mastery of HTML could be put to better use on a better game. Anyways it was still a nice br for the game so I give it a 7. GG no re~ |

Strange, I've never encountered any WRATHS while playing on B.net. Are they anything like WRAITHS? Use caps. Good work on the pics though. 8 just for the pics and decent writing. Would be 9 but -1 for grammar errors and no caps.

| interesting, this report, which is definetley a gold, has yet to be rated, with 13 "active" raters. Well, I must say this is what my first impression of replays and how it would affect br'ing. I thought that br'ed replays would now be the norm. But it wasn't, replays came to stand out as their own br's. The only serious mistakes was the grammar, and the game was a tad onesided, but you're on the right track. Work on your writing skills, I found that it was easier for me to follow the game through the pictures than through the text. Seriously though, continue br'ing, replays are getting too much attention. 7-9, Probably 8. |

pics were great game wasnt bad, but man.. your writing could use some work :/
"the hydras quickly unload as a wrath immediately attacks the overlords as the nearby marines head for the hydras."
the whole thing is like this - as confusing as shit :[
next time you do a report, make everything much more clear and check grammar. i was gonna give a 6 to this, but because i can tell you spent a long time on pics and on writing.. ill give you a 7 |

First, kudos for putting so much effort into a report. Its obvious that you put a lot of time into this.
That being said, I have to say that the writing was subpar. It was pretty choppy and I had a hard time getting into the flow of the report. This is something that really bugs me in a report (ask K-Lewis).
Also, there were way too many pictures and each one seemed to use a different effect or border type. A couple of unnecessary pictures include all 4 players with idle troops standing at their ramps, a large picture of overlords floating over an enemy base when you had a second large picture of the troops dropping, and a picture of three goons just standing in place. Keep in mind that pics take time to load... :)
Most of the people who read this report seemed to like it so I'll go ahead and give it a 7. I'm leaning towards a 6 but that's probably because I'm so BR anal after being in the "biz" for so long... :P
Cheerio,

rather hard to follow, sort of like a big run-on sentence, good graphics work and I loved the "drone that fell in love with a probe" joke.
])@rkPhoenix's first 3 mutas burst out and launch high in the sky and head to the top left expansion with an overlord and some probes tagging along to build a second expansion. (probes? er, drones you mean)
666~TerroR~666 having realised that his partner was planning a drop rally's together 2 goons, a zealot and 3 dark templars and loads them up in to 2 dropships and sends them to the middle of the map as he orders a bigger force of 6 goons, 6 zealots and 3 dts to head for the front door of the 2nd angel expansion where the zerg force rests. <<< 1 FREAKIN' SENTENCE

Good job bro,
The flow was pretty bad like many other people have said, but some aspects (Pictures, Writing (YES SOME WRITING WAS GOOD, NOT AMAZING, but good) ) were great. Pics were sexy, you tried hard to describe, and only 6 hours? Good job bro, I find that as an achievement, and you got gold, gg ;D |

Is it just me, or does everything get gold these days? What are the requirements for "gold" anyway? Well, OK report, I actually didn't have to much of a problem with the writing, though thats probably because I'm a high school student who hasn't seen a classroom in 3 months. Good HTML skillz, and the game was all right. Well, I'm off, 'cause I just reiterated what everybody else said.

You speak of yourself in the third person?
Anyway, that and the fact that you didn't use capital letters are my only nits. Next time you write a report, I'd suggest compression your images a little bit more though.
I think a 6, but I'm pretty stingy w/ my ratings. |
