Ok, hello again and I hope you enjoy this BR. This time I made sure I had EVERYTHING working as I wanted before submitting EXCEPT THAT STUPID GEOCITIES WONT ALLOW THE TOP 10% OF MY COLLAGE PIC TO SHOW, it should say Latto but it is blank, and some drones got chopped off hehe. It should be a marked improvement from my first three BR's. I even bothered to do a collage type pic and a ........ wait for it....... GIF animation! (That said it still only deserves an eight) It took me about four to five hours to make, spending most of the time on the pics :)

Before you start, however:

Special Thanks: To SlingsNArrows, for taking time out to try to help me fix up the problem of not being able to change the background color. Slings, if u are reading this, I fixed it by putting into a table, don't know why it didn't work without a table. Read his damn BR's! (not now, finish reading mine :p)

Introduction: I was in NH listening to two idiots rave on about 'pissing off gosus' for about fifteen minutes, and no one wanted a 2v2 or 1v1. I asked if anyone wanted to be in this report. Latto joined the channel around that time and said he would. James_Joyce said he would play Latto if I wanted a quick raping BR. I said yeah ok, because I was getting bored and hungry for blood and Latto had to make due to my lack of observer maps.

I was rather shocked when I was not the last one in, as I usually am due to horrendous lag. The map made me almost jump for joy. It wasn't 'let's play the exact same game over and over' Lost Temple. It was Bridge over the River Styx. Thank god some people know other maps exist. I downloaded it in my usual slow fashion (observer version, see the screenshot down there?). A few GL's later, and it was on.

.

Wow, the idiot (ME!) can modify screenshots! ^

Map- Bridge Over The River Styx

Players- James_Joyce (JJ) (Purple random zerg at the bottom) DUH!

Latto (Lat) (White chosen zerg at the top) DUH!

See em in the screenshot??

Oh great, I thought. I had never seen a purple person win. This conversation occurred around three minutes into the game.

Mr.Forgetful: I have never seen a purple person win before.

Latto: I do that regularly!

Mr.Forgetful: I should hang with you more often then :)

Latto: =D

Overlords were sent scouting, and before any buildings were made, JJ commented on the lag situation and it's effect on his computer. Cool, it's almost all written on the creep too!

Lat went with a rough build order of

8- Overlord

11- Hatch at main

14- Pool

14- Gas

15- Overlord

18- Lair

18- Evolution Chamber

While JJ roughly went:

8- Overlord

9- Pool

13- Hatch at main

16- Gas

19- Lair

20- Evolution Chamber

During all this, JJ got 4 lings and seemed to be slightly in front in building early on. Lat's Overlord reaches JJ's base just before JJ's Overlord reaches Lat's. JJ chooses these words to attempt to convince Lat that it is in his best interests to both move their OL's away. Reminds me of the song line-*We're all go-in' on a; sum-mer hol-i-day; no more workin' for a week-or-two*

It seemed to work at first, because both players started to move away, then Lat turned right back around. Tricky bastard!

Lat is meanwhile running 10 lings to JJ's peon line. They pass under JJ's Overlord just to the south of Lat's base and he (JJ) virtually concedes. When the lings begin ripping up JJ's 4 lings and his hatchery, they are attacked by JJ's drones. JJ quickly loses all his drones except two in the mineral line and two on gas, and manages to save his base with about 8 freshly hatched lings. This is roughly when both player's listed build orders finish. Even though JJ's economy was in tatters, I still believed he could survive a while longer.

You can see the carnage in my....... Collaged pic(s)!!! Wow the idiot learned how to do that too!

Both players begin to make spires, but Lat has started his first. Muta bum rush anyone? That is what I thought until I saw a few of the undervalued but cost-efficient above Lat's base. A conga line of about 30 zerglings arrived at JJ's peon line just before his spire finished. JJ only had a few lings and a sunken or two morphing. I offered my opinion and it was on.

Mr.Forgetful: I WANT BLOOD!

(Did I get someone to make this BR for me? It looks like it, but no I did it myself!)

The idiot learned how to make GIF images too. 

JJ lost all his ground units and his sunken and said GG as Lat raped his base. JJ also had to call in a carpet cleaning company so he could depart this world with a clean conscience and also clean creep. To totally finish it off Lat brought his 10 odd scourge and killed all of JJ's Overlords. JJ claimed a 'moral victory' as his base was razed, killing Lat's ovie with scourge. He should have been more cost-efficient earlier on :) Yet another boring game, but being a 'nobody' no one plays good games within ten feet of me :(

I found the zergling/scourge combo interesting to say the least, however. Thanks to both combatants for letting me Battlereport. I only included the overview to reduce BR load time (damn GIF's).

The combatants played an even more boring game on the river Styx, Lat's toss rushing JJ's terran, outnumbering his marines with zealots (3to5, but then another 3 came along almost straight after making 6v5) and humorously letting JJ's last building burn rather than killing it. Both myself and  JJ agreed that Fire Extinguishers are a better accessory than Air-Con. JJ also expressed his wish to be able to squash zealots with a flying barracks, and attempted to claim another 'moral victory' by researching U-238 shells before his academy burnt down. Unsuccessful I think, JJ plz comment on that for me :D

But JJ stole the show with these comments, which I almost missed. Latto was unimpressed.

Personally I prefer the Valkyrie lady's accent (not really!)

Also JJ wanted to smear another of his B.Net/BR.com names with these bad losses so he wanted me to put this in.

Afterwards, Lat owned me at the river Styx TvP with an interesting twist, he walled me in with MandM and Tanks and turrets, killing me but I half razed his base with 8 goons that got through before he built the wall. JJ said he would BR my loss to Lat, I hope he does, so then he can humiliate me like I humiliated him :p

Also, I want gosus to report! No offence to Latto or James_Joyce. If I was a gosu, then I could play a gosu, but not being a gosu I need two gosus instead of one to write a gosu vs gosu Battlereport. (Think about it.)

Oh yeah, the idiot also knows how to put sounds in, but didn't do that to spare you load time :) Ill let you guys decide if the Idiot tag is still appropriate.

Thanks for reading, comments are appreciated, flames and nonsense are ignored, as per usual.

Quotable:

Mr.Forgetful: ARGGH! A Rabid Tech Monkey! (After being DT rushed)

SlingsNArrows: I have a tip or two which may or may not suit your style. Expand more. (after out expanding me 4or5 to none)

James_Joyce: Sun shines outta a dog's arse every once in a while. (During game 2, shows us what his mind is on :p)

No the name Mr.Forgetful is NOT from those Mr.Men books! I used it because I forgot my other 2 passwords, and because I'm a 'nobody' and easily forgettable!!! ARGGH! Stop asking this question! It is really beginning to eat away at my sanity! Hmm, maybe that's a good thing, I'm not sure.
