| Hey hey hey! First comment! Great BR, nice graphics. It seems like YourRoleModel really has upped the ante for BRs and now everyone is writing damn fine. Keep it up :) |

| Good report! It was a little short but I guess that was becuase of the game. Try to separate into early, mid , late game so the report is easier to follow. |
| #3 JSH (martinsix.ne.mediaone.net)[9144] |
|
| Funny pictures! Both of them made me laugh out loud. Good stuff. :) It's too bad the game was rather one-sided, it seems liquid tried to do too many things at once. Oh well, good report anyway. |

| Great job. If I were a rater, this baby gets an automatic eight for portraying Dragoons as idiots in the pictures. (: Unfortunately, this seemed to be another one of those "yawnfest" Protoss beat-downs on Lost Temple... let's see if we can't unleash you on a pitched battle and get you a 10.0. (: |

Thanks everyone for the comments. :)
The pictures were .gifs in this one... I'll try .jpg next time. Is there a way to save/export as a jpeg in Photoshop 4, or do I need to get another image-editing program?
The robot is really neat YRM; what modeling software do you use?

hhmm... if liquid:x was "teching" early, he'd have his tech buildings out sooner than his opponent, but you said he and expostfacto had their robo's out at almost the same time= Seems like a pretty slow techer.
Not to mention he tried to climb the ENTIRE protoss techtree in one shot. That should be another lesson learned, don't over-tech.
Good report otherwise, though fairly lop-sided battle.

| YRM, you may be the ayatollah of rock and rollah, but I'm the duke of cool. =] I got my mike fixed for roger wilco, so I'm willing to play 2v2s with you again. I don't mind dying so bad if I can curse you out at the same time. =] |

Mark4, Barage is right... I am a MICRO/ASSASSIN style player. I'm making strides towards better Macro, but I just didn't know what to do in our game... you were like:
1 - MAKE LOTS OF VALKS!!! To combat corsairs?
2 - DO SOMETHING!!! I just didn't have anything to drop that could fight Reavers and Archons 1-1 and nothing in the air to take out the sairs. I have a long way to go before I ever try to use Terran in an Island Game again.
3 - DO SOMETHING!!! After they kicked me in the balls a few times, I had nothing, and started throwing stuff away that might have let me back into the game just so that you'd stop yelling at me. I was hoping to buy you some time to win 2-1 since the other Terran was nearly as out of the game as I was.
I've never heard so much disbelief at how badly I suck from a partner before... if we team again YourRoleModel=Protoss everytime... so at least I can do some damage with the units I build if I get hurt early.
The reason why I can't even come close to you in a game is that my best race is Protoss vs a non Protoss opponent, and my strategy is much like your expand, observe, deny strategy, and I like to take out sites with surgical strikes or sure attacks. So basically, I end up facing a guy with a strategy like mine, but much more refined, and any trick I might try, he knows, and I can't map control as well... my reluctance to attack head on doesn't help either, since I can't find a backdoor into your bases... the style matchup doesn't suit me at all. I've given other good players at least a healthy fight before dying. |

Nice report. A little short, but that's a function of the game, not the BR. Good work with pictures, especially the Observatory one. I was laughing. Hard
YRM, we're gonna have to do something about this....such cool models arn't allowed unless I can do them too
;)
Don't be sad YRM. You can still beat me down 24 / 7
=)
All the best,

I'm never playing with Mark4 as a teammate. Ever.
Mark: "Why don't you have fifteen zillion Dragoons, boy?"
Dev: "Uh... because I don't like macro. Look, I have an arbiter already!"
Mark: "WE'RE GONNA LOSE! DO SOMETHING!!!"
Wonderful.
YRM, I think we'd make good partners. (: Look for me around the last week of September; that's when I can start playing again. |

GoOd PaRtNers? Yeah... while I'm unitlessly teching to Nukes and you're getting Arbiters, we'll get owned in about 5 minutes.
Actually, I've played well in a few 2-2 games, or at least held off a double in time for my partner to make a huge strike.
It's not that Mark4 can't Micromanage, he just does it with about 4 times more units. Oh well. |

=[
Now everyone thinks I'm hard on my partners. =[
I did get a little frustrated that island game. I guess I didn't give you enough direction during that match. But I was having a hard time concentrating on giving you direction when I was into a pretty intense fight with the other toss, in addition to wrecking the terran. If I had worked on a little carrier tech instead of massing ground and taking down his expansions and main it might have been different. So my direction went from, "hey three wraiths to patrol the open expansions and then some goliaths for drops" to "DO SOMETHING" while cursing under my breath.
One thing that did dissapoint me was when you left after I lost the last island. You still had troops on the field =[.
In my defense, I'd like to say that when you play with gods like Johnny, anything else leaves you feeling undersupported.
And Dev, I'm a little selective about my partners. So you don't have to worry. =] |

I stayed with no usable units until you lost your last source of income...
I had no idea how to counter D-Web with dropped Archons and Reavers... Dropping my goliaths wasn't gonna do it. Dropping tanks wasn't gonna do it. EMP got my Vessels killed by Sairs just after it hit half the time... I guess I really needed lots of lockdown or something. What can a Terran drop into a battle that's immediately effective vs Reavers and or Archons with goons and templar?
I did take out a few buildings with tanks from across the islands later on, and took out the dwindling 9:00 expansion with a vulture and a marine (he didn't care at that point).
I'm no Heartcutter or Vegas or Ghost or even a 3-1 comp stomper with terran. I'd better not use them in a 2-2 again. |

| I'll attempt to ignore your flagrant insult to my playing ability, Mark. |
| #15 Mark4 (strangers.bragg.army.mil)[9183] |
|
You had a control group of marines and 2 tanks at my main...
You counter archons and reavers with goliaths and tanks. Ghosts with lockdown and science vessels optional. Yeah, you won't win unless you have greater resources on your side, but I just needed a little help. A tank or two combined with my goons and templar would have worked wonders. |

| At that point we weren't going anywhere. The only tactic left was to MC the carrier fleet as it came in and use psi on what was left. We almost mined out dire, so if we could inflict casualties it might still have been our game. The marines at least could have provided a target until the darchons got off thier spells... |

| To export images as a JPG format you need to change the color mode from "indexed color" to "RGB color". Just go to submenu image --> mode, and you'll find it. Now, go to "save a copy as" and select JPG. |

It's good to know that nohunters guys can mess up, too;-)
(or at least berate eachother as though they could)
Anyway, very well-written BR. =] Too bad the game couldn't match your writing style... |
