| Okay everyone, here it is, the promised report of my humble upbringings in the World of Starcraft. I tried to get that FILEREAD thing to work, but I am kinda on the dim side. Can anyone give me help on this? |

Wow, Small Divide... that brings back memories. I got my first win ever (in my first game on b.net!) on Small Divide, and my second few on Space Madness. Then I went to lost temple and started getting my ass kicked on a regular basis for a couple weeks until I improved enough to compete.
I think those tiny 64x64 island maps are fun, but I can never find a game on them against a non-newbie opponent. |

insightful, i liked your part about the zerg spreading propoganda on forums, like their some gang thats pretty funny. But if you do think of it carriers aren't very cost effective cuz scourge are so cheap and fast, speed shuttled templar work better then cliff carriers, atleast on LT altough it takes a bit more micro.

Just a question, you said that he was destroying ur turrets w/his bcs to get his ghost in a dropship in and then u said he added a covert ops to his sci facility. How did he already have a ghost then? just confused a/b that. Other then that great, i agree with all comments from above. |

Thanks CHJ, helpful as ever, I think [FLS]prozerran and the guy that wrote the directions to programing the channels on my TV are one in the same. Now brace yourself for this, since I know its going to come as a jolt, but I just learned html, and I don't know how to actually save something as html, usually I just type it on word and that's something different right? How can I save it correctly?

| Sorry Dag, I'll check into that. I use MIE. But I remember using something different on my old computer and some of the reports came out just a little to wide, so I thought maybe you had the same thing..my bad. Oh yeah and the thanks for the 8! ~salivates~ |
| #27 plus2longsword[116700] |
| asc3-ip19-grr.wmis.net |
| Redemption6, all my fault, of course, you are correct. I even noticed this when I was proofing but forgot to change it. I've noticed some other errors too, my apologies. All this crap I wrote has been swirling around in my head for so long, that all I could handle was one quick proofread and then a spellcheck. On the spellcheck, I think a couple of times I might have hit ignore/replace when I didn't mean to. Anyway I'm not reading it again to find out! |

#'s,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,14,16,17,24, THANK YOU! most appreciated.
#11.Agreed, still I'm always more impressed by someone who knows when to use who, and whom(probably because I've forgotten!). Thanks for the kind words, and the 8!
#13.Thanks..I think. Actually I have always had the easiest time against Zerg, but your right that the best bet for the Zerg is to go for as fast a drop as possible, that's why I wrote to use more Turrets, and supplement them with bunkers/Marines..which a Barracks, if started by 3rd/4th Turret, shouldn't be to hard to manage. Also I never said my strat was unbeatable =)
#15.Again, like ImperatorP, I think your reading a little more into it, than what I am actually saying. I'm just saying build up a few(3/4), and use them not so much to attack by themselves, but to augment say..some Goons, for instance. |

I went through this with joe, when you save a document in word as a web page, all it's going to do is show it as is (you'll see the raw html when you view that html file, and to add insult to injury, it'll insert all of this MicroShaft garbage in there that you don't want). I'm not sure how to circumvent this in word, the only thing I know how to do is to save the document file with a .txt extension, fire up notepad, load up the .txt file, and save it with an .htm extension there.

Oh yeah, and to the above post above inquiring about what the word 'gosu' means, I personally always though it was just Korean for 'good' or 'Elite'. But I also heard from someone that it is the acronym for 'God Of StarCraft Universe'. I don't know which it really is, but I always just prefered 'good' or 'Elite'.

#30: I realised afterwards I might be mistaken about that. While on a normal, large sized island(dire straits etc) map an ebay first player will only be able to turret up part of the isle before a drop hits, on this smaller map with only 1 front and only one exp/player and that a nat I suppose turtling with turret bunk tank would actually be effective. I've only played this map once or twice and that vs a comp oppenent so I suppose I'm really not in a position to judge such a specialized strategy.
I'd like to know if you've ever had problems with them dropping ranged units below your turrets( so that the transport isnt hit hard) early on, killing the turret and then heading for the min line. Thats probably what I'd try as I go for a fast drop as terran or protoss.
Also I'm curious to know if you're usually in a position to counter a fast 6 mutalisk rush(flying over the cliff turrets and neutralizing the (2?) at your CC, then attacking the SCVs? |
| #32 plus2longsword[116768] |
| asc8-grr-ip084.wmis.net |
Thanks again CHJ, I'll try that.
To ImperatorP: In regards to your idea about ranged units, go back and check out what I say under Broodwar. I probably should have put more emphasis on this, by giving Tanks their own section, since this is an important point. About the Mutalisks, I really didn't put more than a footnote in their about them. Maybe I should here now. The Turrets usually act as enough of a psychological block that people generaly don't even try to get Mutalisks past them. Failing that, not only can the SCV's repair those two Turrets(plenty of advance warning to get them there btw) but I usually would have several Goliaths on the scene as well. Remember Zerg have to upgrade their Overlords first to expand, so Muta packs aren't quite as devestating(or large). And of course my main units for the rest of the game, Goliaths/Bc's(plus Bunker near exp) are decent enough against the Mutas. hope this clears things up =) |

Small Divide is my fav map, and I'd like to say that a rine, vult,tank drop OWNS mass turrets bad
Postin shit bout mass turrets pissed me off bad cause u made it look like a newb comes inthere and can build 9 milion turrets ASAP and win, but its not like that at all
Small Divide is one of the most gosu maps I know cause its not how frigin long u can make the game, but how fast you can tech and power |

OK.....
Both yall are being gay...
Just play and 1v1 and beat his ass man.
I dont really get how this could work though. But i havent really looked at the map.
Can seige tanks hit the turrets?
And can u get your wall up before someone does a fast 4 gols drop? or a quick 6 rins 2 med Drop?
What about distweb with corsairs?
What about distweb plus arbiter+recall.
Hmm.... I guess by then u could have some d but im not so sure this would work out in the end if u played someone, that is like 1100 on ladder or sometihng.
And yes, if you would like to show me simply Message me. And then when u beat me u can shut me up. Cause i dont ever get a turret wall on a island map is supposed to works.

| asc3-ip64-grr.wmis.net |
| Not that it matters in the least, but I have been 1250 and ranked in the top 500. I think thats all whiny little 10 year old stuff and don't play ladder any more but...it really has little to do with this non-ladder map. Okay first off, since it is painfully obvious I need to explain this by the numbers, I begin my tech during the Turret build. So while SCV#10 is building Turret his second Turret I have already begun a Barracks. Now, for your little Marine, Vulture, Tank whatever thing to work you need to build a Starport, and then a dropship. Obviously, it takes less time to build an Engineering Bay and a couple Turrets than it does to tech to dropships and Tanks, I will already have a number of Tanks waiting for you, seiged up and ready to shell you. Thrilling as its been, this is the end of my commentary with you. |
| #44 plus2longsword[117314] |
| asc3-ip64-grr.wmis.net |
| Also, for anyone else reading this. It was never my intent to give this strat out to people, and then challenge all the whiny little chobo idiots that don't think it will work. My intent was to show someone, who is new to the game and may be struggling, a way to play that I have found to be quite effective. My score on this map is at least 90% (also the other 10% certainly wasn't from defeats outlined by Iam_idiot) After about a six month hiatus, I came back and played on it six more times, with six victories. I think it is gut-wrenching hilarious that he thinks 1100 is good. I don't think I'm good, maybe average, at least not on the ladder maps. Anyway, read what I wrote, try it out, if doesn't work, e-mail me or leave a comment-obviously Scott has not. |

Wait......
stop right there man
1100++ Toss players are not push overs, and do not suck. i wasnt bitching at u. infact I even complemented you on a nice report. But I BET TO ALL FUCKING HELL U ARE NOT A FUCKING 1250 TERRAN PLAYER. Cause that is really good. 1100 is very respectable and some of the best players at this site sit at around 1150. So DONT BE GAY ABOUT THAT><
NEWAYS i am not a fucking chobo, and i was asking u some simple questions, They were strait forward and simple. So chill out man, and quit being so damn defensive!. |

| Ahh, never a dull moment.. to 48, nothing I said was directed directly at you but more toward Scott, since he has made it his personal quest to whatever..I have no idea. Anyway, as I can see youve done a lot of assumptioning, let me clear some things up. First off, I dont know what all this stuff is about 1250 this and 1100 that. Though I dont anymore, when I *was* playing "LADDER" I went random. So I hardly think it makes a difference what race you prefer. Just that my thinking 1100 is good doesnt mean I think it is bad..but I thought it was funny that Scott thought I would be scared or something. Although on Small Divide(if you actually paid attention to my so-called "nice" report I wouldnt be explaining this right now) I prefer the *Terrans* against the *Zerg*. Correct me if im wrong but I even said in that report that Terrans (obviously) and Protoss should have equal chances. |

Additionaly. A few tips if you want to tip the scales on your rating..at least I had little trouble. Dont play 1:1 Lost Temple (or any map really). Its been my experience that hackers eat that shit up. They very much dont like to play 3-way ffa's. Im not saying youll never see one, but its rarer. Of course I cant be sure about all this, but I think theyre reasoning is that its harder to keep track of two people than one. Now get ready for this..if you win a 3-way..you get more points =)
Now put your finger on you head and go hmmmmm. Actually I may not be a 1250 player..but that doesnt mean I didnt get to 1250 man..sheesh. Still 1100 players dont impress me much and I dont check out the ratings of the best people here at the site that much, but guys like Mark4 and Dref for example..dont seem to play much Ladder, but Id bet theyd make at least 1250 easy. Mark4 probably a lot fuken more. and im never defensive..just trying to set things strait. |

'
oh....
Sry
anywaz good report.
But still man, i play all 1v1 LT and i can make it to 1100. And it aint eazy. Withought FFA's a 1100 is a pretty good rating.
1000=average 1100=a llitle above arevarge 1200=pretty gosu
1300++ = super gosu |
