After two mediocre attempts at a battle report, Ghetto tried valiantly to do a 1v1 which actually ended Many combatants tried in this endeavor, yet none succeeded. Many a game ended in brutal horrific swearing, occuring after the opponent left prematurely.  However, after two days, Ghetto returns to deliver another attempt at a battle report. 
This is his third attempt, and God willing, it will own all previous attempts. 
The only problem is a title...something catchy, yet not too much of a gimmick.


Ah, to hell with catchy or gimmicky, here's the battle report. 
I'm actually surprised you're reading this.  Hope I don't disappoint you. I will however, warn you that the pace of the game is quite....um...non-existent. Only two squirmishes happened, and they happen quite late into the game. Geez, I hope this doesn't cause me to lose marks. Anywho, here's
:


Ghetto's (not so glorious) Glorious Victory!

(yes really, I won a game)




        

        Ghetto{BC}BC
- (random)Protoss 12:00

        Scr-4-eva
- Protoss 6:00

        After the failed attempt at succeeding last time (see previous BR), I decided to become offensive both expansion-wise and garrison-wise. This is rarely possible, since I am only capable of doing one thing at a time, though I usually excel in it. I did my standard double pylon in 8, 2 gateways, and pumped out zealots. probe#9 went off to scout Scr-4-eva's base, only to be chewed up by zealots.  Undaunted, I continued to produce zealots, dropping both a cybernetics core and a forge when zealot numbers reached six. After upgrading weapons, I got bored, so I expanded to the 3:00 position, but not before putting down a pylon for photon cannons. 
Four photon cannons came down when I had the resources, and I started to rally probes to the 3:00 outpost.


        Obviously Scr-4-eva scouted as well, and managed to get a probe past my lazy zealots. He was soon dealt with by the zealots which spawned forth the two gateways. My second scouting into his town was met with similar terms :


        Scr-4-eva was obviously turtling, and since I had already established two mining facilities, and looking for more, I could not afford to let Scr-4-eva expand, so I patrolled a zealot from the mineral-only outpost SW of my start location to the natural of the 9:00. I also changed to dragoon production, stopping at about 11.  By now money was collecting into my account quite quickly, so I opted to expand once more, this time at my natural. After that, I expanded at 3:00's natural.  Taking into consideration the minute possibility of Scr-4-eva putting cannons above me, I built a shuttle, which allowed me to build a defensive layer in the highlands above the expansion.



        Continuous scouting all over the map revealed this. I still don't know what he was thinking (not expanding I mean). Nevertheless, I opted to make more cannons around my mining facility, and in the surrounding area, just in case.

        Money was really starting to pour in, so I dropped four starports, built a fleet beacon, and started building carriers.  More starports soon arrived, and soon I had ten carriers, all ready to kill some ass. Scouting
informed me that
Scr-4-eva has not even expanded once, which I found quite peculiar.  Also, Scr-4-eva has yet not attacked me, but that didn't stop me from barging into his town.  Hehe, finally, what I planned to happen actually happens :

 


        What was he doing all this time? Actually, he decided to attack me himself!


        This left me with only two goons, but my carriers ended up finishing his only town.


Lessons learned :

1.  If this game was boring to play, imagine how boring it is to read.

2.  Attacking prematurely in an attempt to make the BR more enjoyable is stupid; winning is everything; making a good BR is even more important

3.  Expanding is key to victory (me : 5 expansions by the end, Scr-4-eva : 0)

I'm sorry if this seemed very boring. I did warn you that the pace is non-existent. Thinking back, I think this is the closest thing to turtling and teching to God-ships, except
it's not BGH, and I didn't turtle.
