Ok this game started as many do me searching nohunters for a decent game. I found one called stoners paradise and I joined. Inside I found two people who after talking with me for a while told me that they would invite their friend to be my ally. (NOTE PICTURES ARE AT THE BOTTOM)
The Mighty Protoss
novadistortion=yellow protoss upper middle
Bust'em_up=teal protoss middle right
The Adaptive Terran
Rogue_Assassin=blue terran lower left
justcallmebob=purple terran lower middle
The Map Stoners Paradise (this map is high resource)
This game began and I began by building probes pylon three gateways in a row followed by zealots more probes and a forge. Next I built a cy core and two pylons at my choke. A little blue scv comes in only to be trapped and slaughtered by two zealots. I now make cannons and more pylons. I Soon had an impressive army of zealots and dragoons followed by the building of a robotics.
My ally suddenly sends me a warning theyre trying to build a bunker at your choke send zealots. My zealots spring into action and tear down the offending structure and killing the scv that was building it followed by the marines hoping to enter it. I quickly create more troops and leave a zealot by the choke should the attempt it again.
Now I build some shuttles a templar archives and a observatory since my ally warned me that they will probably use wraiths. I quickly build templar turn them into an archon followed by dark templar (the deciding factor in this game) I reaserched psi storm and upgraded weapons and armor when resources allowed.
Getting bored waiting for an attack I load 4 zealots into a waiting shuttle and go left. I look to see that my ally has located the choke of my blue enemy. I send my shuttle to test the waters at the top of his base and find nothing. I drop in the center of his base and attack some marines and some barracks which lift off to escape my wrath. My ally tells me to go for his workers but first I tear down an e bay. I procede to destroy his economy wondering why marines havent come at me yet. (I later learned all of their resources went into turrets which lined their bases side by side) I destoyed everything I could before dying to tank fire.
I decide that since the first drop worked so well I would do it again adding a Dark templar to the ranks. Again I attack and meet no opposition. I tore everything in his base down and he had no more resources and no scvs. He did have one command center which he floated to the safety of his allys base. My dark templar proceded to tear down everything until I noticed a huge line of turrets and no support. I dropped two more shuttles full of dark templar in his base and wiped the turrets off the map one by one since he had nothing but a few tanks at his choke to stop me which he kept there. I tore it all down. Now all he had left was his forces at his choke and a command center at his ally. During all this I was using a shuttle to drop dark templar one by one onto all potential expansions. Then I started an expansion at lower right.
Now what was my ally doing while I do all the work you ask? Well he was making scouts and carriers thats what. He sent a few to my base for air support at my request and proceded to park at blues remenants. d web and scouts with carrier support spell doom for blue. He stayed with his command center to finish watching the game though.
I parked high templar archons dark templar observers zealots and everything else I had at the entrance to purples base. His base was the same as blues only much better defended with no gaps to slip a shuttle through. I thought of something though. I tested his defences at his choke for detection with a dark templar. Aha nothing but 3 depots for defence and loads of tanks on the high ground above his choke with bunkers and turrets. Now I was out of the range of the turrets sight so I slashed at the depots. A sensor sweep and some tank fire spelled doom for the noble protoss dark templar. I continued to sacrifice dark templar one by one to use up his sensor energy. When one hacked unhindered I sent the rest in to slaughter the base.
they tore down buildings since there was nothing to stop them but being careful to run from sensor sweeps and masses of angry scvs. I tore everything I could down.
Again I found the lines of turrets along all of the base and tore them down one by one like I did with blues base. The rapidly expanding fleet of air units made by my ally began destroying the enemy choke with the aide of d web. Soon all of the turrets had fallen and the scouts proceded to raze everything purple had.
We thought we had won since the two enemys never sent a single attack out except the bunkering attempt. Purple was destroyed and left. But blue was still around. The command center was hiding somewhere around the map. I sent out scouting observers and my ally send out corsairs and scouts. We found nothing. I loaded a shuttle with an archon and looked for blood. Suddenly I saw a blue blip on my screen. Aha I told my ally that I saw him hovering just between my expansion and his main. I sent my shuttle and several scouts at the far end of the map came at him. I dropped my archon and chased it until it took cover over a river and out of my range. He laughed at me but his laughter was cut short by a fleet of scouts from my ally.
THE END

NOTES
1. Dark templar are not cheap unless they are rushed to and used early.
2. It is perfectly fair to use dark templar against a turtling player
3. It may have seemed like my ally was doing nothing but I know he was fighting battles while I was making my attacks since I saw him flying all around the map. I just didnt report the battles because I was not paying attention to them at the time.
4. They both used the turrets all around their bases in really close proximity. This protected them from air units but not from what I had already slipped in. I recommend against ever using that stategy.
thats all now for the pics.
