Heh, thanks.
Hope you saw EVERYTHING in the report, all the hidden stuff included (probably need to view the source to do it, though, I'm such a jerk ^^). |

Maareek has to much time on his hands, luckily for us. I think he's aiming to become a rater no less.
Btw I was afk because I was watching the Dutch-German soccer game, which was truly not worthy to be battle-reported. |

Horrible game. The soccer, I mean.
On the report:
Marquee tags, oh god. Why don't we all just go back to animated gifs, web safe colours and table layouts.
The game was nothing really, or rather - I think you could have made it moreso, but didn't. The situation was great: A semi-pro cannon rushing! I didn't get the feeling it was anything special.
The intro was waaaaay too long. The first five-six paragraphs could have been 1 or 2, and worked much better. In reports, as in articles, advertising etc. it's always the first few paragraphs are the most important, and drag the reader in. It would have worked better if it was brief, to the point and lively.

I'm not sure whether I like the string of pictures, but settled on it being quite allright. Maybe try to split it up more, like instead of 6 paragraphs followed by 6 pictures, make it 3 paragraphs followed by 3 pictures, this will probably make the pics flow better with the text.
Ending on a lighter note, great to see you pumping out these babies ^^

Proximal gate, not proxy gate. And the text needed to be a tad brighter, for my dull flat screen at work.
That being said, I love the odd cannon rush report :). The alt-text in the first and last series of pictures was good. And I like your string of pictures style. They serve the same funtion as big-ass collages while being less fancy - they show the battle rather than isloated zergling blood.
On a side note - that secondary cannon push would never have worked on the old temple (except at 12) ... imbalance :). |

I'll give it a 7 or an 8 after digesting for a day. The report seemed to go by quite fast. This may be because it was a fast game, but writers could use some lengthening of their report while keeping the readers interested.
Maybe something like 'it seemed legionaire timed his assualt to coincide with the completion of his attack upgrade'
If you really want to be wordy, you could follow that up with:
'althouth an early attack upgrade usually comes before the defensive upgrade for even a concientious zerg, legionaire was able to keep track of kakarotto's upgrades with his cliff cannons'.
And it probably wouldn't detract from your report to let newbies know why having a +1 attack upgrade advantave is so important. |

| Don't get me wrong, I know cannon pushes are hard to report. Old El Paso did a fine job, but looking back at his (now broken) report makes me remember how much of that was graphics work. |

The string of pictures was awful. Make a picture, then words, picture, then words, etc.
You start to forget the commentary when you're trying to look at the pictures.
Overall though, quite nice.

What would have been real fun is if the cannon rush had been put down after the cannons had come online. Alas...
I think I like the string of pictures. More alt-text for the space, and they give a better view of the action than collages (especially the last one). I'm not looking at pictures so long that I forget the commentary.

The report that reminds me never to do a report in 6 hours if I'm only working on 2 hours sleep. Depresses myself since I thought the game was exciting and my writing bores even myself when well-rested...oh well shit happens.
