This battle report will tell about a game Bob_the_Newt and I had a few days ago. It was a very intense battle, and well fought on both sides. The races were my Protoss vs his Terran. Possibly now we can find out which race actually IS better? Seeing how Bob_the_Newt is a tad bit better than myself, if I won, it would once and for all prove that Protoss > Terran (Even though they don't ;) .
 We quickly decided on the most overplayed map (save for the one that the channel was named after .. I would say the name but I don't like to swear ... )
I began the game by sending my four probes to turbo scout. Luckily, he sent his four SCV's to mine so I gained a quick advantage. After seeing him build a quick supply depot (not at his choke mind you, only godly players can do that -_-), I quickly concluded he was going for a triple Command Center super expand. How I concluded this you ask? I had my Mark4 Skill Hack™ activated, so I could easily read his mind and tell what he was going for.
To some, this would give me the distinct advantage (along with using my first four probes to Ultra Turbo Scout). However, Bob_the_Newt had a trick up his sleeve. He had had his SCV's mining contentedly when he pulled one off and sent him in my base's general direction! I had to do something fast.
Here is where I will change the viewpoint of the game. I will take the role of TheRubberDucky, and obs instead of play.
Mogalin© had luckily begun construction of a forge before his initial gateway. This was a surprising tactical maneuver that might "make or break" his game. Bob_the_Newt's SCV was drawing near to Mogalin's *almost* done warping in cannons. The SCV saw the cannons and dashed inside, taking only one hit from the somewhat deadly Photon Cannons. He raced for the peon line only to meet three more Photon Cannons and his eventual DOOM.
Bob_the_Newt had begun now construction of approximately 37.5 barracks'es in his main base. Mogalin was in for some trouble -- a Terran going Infantry vs a Protoss. I could tell this was going to be a good game (Just Kidding!)
Mogalin began construction of 37.5 StarGates so he could build lots of Scouts to counter Bob_the_Newt's mass Infantry. Mogalin also began production of his second gateway because his money was compiling =/ ...
Back to the game through Mogalin's eyes (which could see all because of his working MapHack ... What a Chobo ... )
I was getting bored with the total lack of action so I did something about it -- I sent my Scouts (now 0/1 + the Vision I researched before speed ^^) to Bob_the_Newt's peon line. There I saw a truly terrifying sight -- 3 SCV's mining! Realizing he must have tons of cash to build stuff, I target his Command Center. I leave my Scouts to be, and begin a Robotics Facility so I can build deadly Reavers.
My Scouts are successfull in destroying the Command Center (w00t!) .. so I decide to take yet another "Make or Break" step -- I proceed to his choke defense. There, I find 10+ bunkers yet since my Scouts are now 1/1 and equipped with Speed and Vision, he is quickly annihilated.
Because I am bad at watching the MiniMap (remember my MapHack) I never notice that Bob_the_Newt has taken both islands! Not only that, but there is a huge attack coming in to my base! I quickly realize it is a massive attack of MMF. I quickly place Reavers on the ledges so that they are untouchable. Thanks to my Mark4 Skill Hack, the scarabs magically float down and eliminate the Terran threat.
The game has now been draggin on for 2++ hours and there have only been two attacks. Then, TheRubberDucky discs for a fun joke. I suggest we ally. Bob_the_Newt declares: "You first, Panda-Raper."
My jaw drops right open. He called me a, a, ..... P, p, Panda Raper! For this there is no excuse! I quickly load all of peons into one dropships (once again, my Mark4 Skill Hack comes into play and allows me to place all 10 probes in one Shuttle -- Oh and P.S. you can tell this game went on a long time if I had 10 probes) and ship em off to the island. Resistance is futile and Bob's island Expansion is instantly destroyed.
Bob_the_Newt takes this time to disconnect ... I am the victor!
