First off, you went way overboard on pics. I counted at least 30. It was very annoying to read, having to scroll down after every few lines. Dont make the pics break up the text like that. I couldn't even make it through the whole thing because of this. Smaller and fewer pics, and better placement next time plz :)

heh. at least "30" you didn't get very far at all.

In retrospect, there definately are too many pics. I'll correct that in the future

Yay for new reporters!
Good report, what you might try to do wiht pics is make more collages, try to incorporate 5 or 6 pictures into one (by editing and shrinking) that describes what is going on better than 1 could. Good report, plz make more. :)

1 for epoch winning! j/k

pretty good, although i think the sort of "charecterization" went a little far, this was still good stuff

7.5-8.0

oh yeah and #7.

a couple more things: the game didnt seem to great - not terrible but epoch seemed to almost always have the advantage, with his expansions. the only battle he really lost was cuz of his awesome leaving troops.

secondly, the map description was lacking some what - dont get me wrong, it was better than the descrition in 95% of BRs, but if you are going to do a creep by creep type description description like that, you do kinda need to include a bit more

and like i said, the charecterization was a bit excessive.

gj tho

7.5-8.0

Excellently done. Wee bit heavy on the pics, but otherwise a lovely report.

8-8.5

Like other people have mentioned, the amount of pics were just overwhelming.
Still tho, I had no trouble downloading them all while reading, and I liked the look of them. I could do without pics of a building under construction tho.
I guess the trend with huge intro with very accurate description of the map with several points of interest started with CB not long ago, and a lot of ppl seem to use it now. I'm not very fond of reading about creep placements and their strengths and weaknesses, but that may just be me.
Also, you can skip over SOME of the creeping, because it seemed to me that 3/4 of this report was about creeping, and player vs. player action came very late in the report.
You have very nice text; straight to the point with a few nice jokes around. And you defiently get extra credit for the word: "Flabergasted". Rrrrrroar!

All in all, this is "good shiat" and I look forward to see your next ;) God knows we need good, new reporters. (Btw you mentioned someting about u writing SC reports... under which name?)

Sheesh too much text -.-
I think this will get a 9 from someone, as its very good overall.
Personally, im like 8.5. Good work!

#12 Epoch[132048]
ool-182f07a7.dyn.optonline.net
Damn, that was an awesome game... And just so you know, the army didn't attack because they were out of acquisition range; the heroes were not. I was messing around in my base at the time T_T
I cant Micro and Macro at the same time T_T
Oh, it's spelled "Altar", at one point you had Vash having his first Abom, not me ;/
Collages would be nice.
8+1 because you caught me in one of the few games I actually won :D

cache-1.sbo.ma.webcache.rcn.net
ignore time, hes just being gay. Anyways this was a nice report. Like most ppl said the pics were overwhelming, and you kinda let them tell the story. The pics compliment the text, not vice versa. The game wasn't that good. there was really no comeback, and it was sloppy. I mean vash charges straight into a UD base with that small force? hell a halls of the dead could take on that . and by far the dumbest move was epoch, who forgot his fuckin ghouls....8 is fair i guess. o yea and epoch is not a wise man ;)

Good report. 9.5

Don't listen to anybody that says "less pictures". I don't have sympathy for 56kers.

A good amount of pics made your game come alive.

I don't have time to rate this weekend so I'll probably get to this new batch of reports next week.

Just wanted to say that I didn't have anything to do with this map -- this is a Halpmeh map (Angel).

Few things.

Zerg: I'm under the name "Trembler" but all the pics were lost due to off-site hosting and whatnot. So they're not much at all to look at. :)

CB: See, that's why I wasn't sure. Epic said you made it, and mentioned it in the text, so I had nothing to go off of. :P

I really would like to edit it, but lesson learned here, when I didn't see the map on your site, I shouldn't have attributed it to you. ;) Sry man. But... i blame the players!

All in all, it's nice to see the feedback. Lord knows I need it. I'll maybe put together some short reports or some such things.

Hm. I haven't considered that, since I personally like that kind of style. Many pictures show the game as it is happening, and they prevent any bad writing styles from showing up.
#25 Epoch[132088]

A bad writing style would still show. But having too much pictures and not enough text deprives the report of personality, guaranteeing it a lower score ;/
#26 [132091]
dhcp16635021.neo.rr.com
everyone's already said too many pictures, so it's hard to really judge the writing becaue it

was


always

broken

up

;)

Still, the pictures are clear and the writing was solid for an average game.

Ya, It was creative, though it did take a while to load on my 56K T_T

No need to apologize; I just didn't want to take credit for the work of another mapmaker.

This was a very nice report besides the overabundance of pics. My pic philosophy is to treat them as punctuation marks in the report. I capture about twice as many as I use, and then remove a picture unless: it furthers the action, it's an interesting battle shot, or it's been awhile since the last pic. Many good reporters get away with lots more, so there's nothing wrong with it, but good selection will make your reports that much better (Would want to watch the director's cut of Dances with Wolves if it just added 50 minutes of pooping buffalos?)

The writing was occasionally stilted or fragmented so some revision might be nice. 7.5 - 8.0. I'm definitely interested in what you can do with a better game.

Regards,
~CB~
