Still only partway through but...

Broken alt text code on picture "containment4.jpeg". You're missing a closing quotation mark. Looks like the code break ate 2 paragraphs and another picture.

I'll stop here until its fixed I think since my browser is having trouble viewing source and the saved file looks wrong.

P.S. Suggest you use a spellchecker to pick up the occasional obvious error.

Just finished it. It was good, but the text was WAY too small :) Meh poor eyes! Also, the alt-text wasn't showing up. I think you are supposed to use titles instead.

Still, <3, gw, and I was mentioned! For being a pest! Yay! :)

Well, it is far too early in the morning for me to desect this but I will say this: use title="" instead of alt="" tags plz. Alt tags don't show up in firefox when the img is present. I had to check the properties of your pics to see it.

Wak, ctrl + mouse-wheel plz. ;p Wasn't too small for me.

So. They got to you too, eh? Enjoyable report, good game, good humour, too bad about the alt-text. Maareek, the alt tags, as in my report, are there specifically to pester you.

Dibbler - I did let Decay proofread it about a month ago, when I was finished with the writing. The problem was, I being the weird freak that I am saved that particular file as "correctedpastbr" instead of just "pastbr". I didn't run over it until the morning after I released tis report.

Who'sGotLag - Thanks for fixing the alt-text. I was absolutely stumped on that one. I took your version since it was so close to the proofread version in writing (see above) but had code corrections, and then I fixed a couple of other issues.

Wak - Sorry. It doesn't seem too small to me. If there is an outbreak of revolt though, I'll enlarge it.

Everyone - The report should be fixed and everything should be viewable.

"1280x1024"

Was that from the pre-fix version? Because at 1024x768 it wasn't taking up more than like...60% of the screen in terms of width.

Hm.

A very nice battlereport. Images were decent but your backgrounds could use some work. Text was good, and the game was pretty good as well. I'm handing you an 8 :)

Mazel fucking tov bitches! I was going to call it a 7 last night when I read it, but with those minor problems fixed I'd give it an 8. I'm too full on turkey to think properly to say what I disliked, but I'll remember later.

Man, the hits just keep coming. If I had one little regret, it's the width of the report. For some reason it just grated on me. I really liked it though. Nine from me.

"Speaking of which, I'm Lithium. You may know me as the guy in most of Maareek's BR Alt-text, or as the guy who makes occasional cameo's throughout some of the more recent reports. Not helpful? I'm the only Jew in Hohunters, and probably one of the few in all of Starcraft. Oh now you recognize me. On with the report, bigots."

That had me laughing out loud. I always thought the term 'old school' meant the days before replays. Does that make me old school now? Way back in 2000?

The report started out very nice, but towards the end it got dragged down in the mundane. After the initial attacks, you have to stop giving so much attention to the individual incidents and look more towards the broader picture and what each player is trying to accomplish. Badme did this very elegantly in his report.

Observe:

"n search of revenge, Gasm takes his entire army of eleven newly formed lurkers (all those expansions, even though destroyed, paid off in the long run), and nine hydras straight at Redneck's natural. Redneck has no defense except for a siege tank, and two SV's. Five lurkers burrow right beside the command center, while the rest bum rush to get up the ramp. The hydras hold off in the back and wait. The rest of the lurkers burrow and begin to attack. Redneck moves his army from 12 to Gasm's natural to divert his attention and bring his attack force into defend. Gasm does not fall for it, and quickly raze both the natural and the main. He does, however, send in two lurkers from Redneck's natural in to pincer the terran army between them and the defense force of about six lurkers, eight hydras, and some zerglings. While Redneck defeats all of the defending units, he has only one tank, and three marines left."

Too wordy, waaay too wordy. Could have said:

"With all his money, gasm sends a large lurker/hydra expedition to the terran's main. Redneck, hoping his forces will hold long enough, sends his expansion-tearing army straight at the enemy main. Gasm's defending troops put up quite a fight, however, leaving only a tank and three marines which are quickly mopped up.

Gasms attack, however, is a bit more successful:"

Stupid enter button. Anyways, the game was very nice, and made me nostalgic for those days long past, the days when there were actually players in ~nohunters. The pictures helped clarify the action, so don't be too shy in using them next time.

Have an 8.

Hmm, I agree with what the other raters said. Translation: too lazy right now to write anything more.

7.5-8. I'll say 8 also.
