Lifetime Rating for Slicer: 6.7333 |   | Sorry about the lack of good (aka htmlized and bigger than 400x400) pics, but I only have 2 mb of webspace and don't want to have to pay more - or get some crappy-ass service like Geocities, Tripod, or Xoom.
The music is Black Sabbath's "Iron Man" and is really appropriate IMHO :)
Map: Pinwheel
Me: Blue Protoss: Top Left
Turtle: Yellow Terran: Top Right
So I get bored, am netsplitted from everyone in Nohunters, win a game then lose a game of Pinwheel, then make again and some joker with a 311-100-21 record gets in my game. I figure I'll need to do some serious playing or he'll kick my ass up and down the block. He downloads the map, we both go Random.
I make an early Photon-based build, scout, and he's in the last place I look with one bunker complete, a missile turret, and another bunker building. I figure he's worried about Zealots or DT, so I just shrug, expand to bottom left, and make templar for the tank push I sense coming. I also tech in all directions and make some upgrades. An empty, scouting Shuttle finds an SCV building a CC bottom right- a zealot makes him cancel and the SCV run home. My zealot dies to two tanks and some bunkers. I make a couple of gates and start pumpin Scouts - he's gotta be goin air.
A patrolling Observer finds another CC being built top middle; a couple of Zeals end that.
After a few scouts and a few more Reavers/Templar I make another couple of expansions, to bottom right then left middle. I know I've won- there is nothing in the Terran arsenal that can beat me now. Or is there? I make more Observers because I figure he's probably going nukes or wraiths- maybe BCs but Scouts/Temps can take care of that.
He doesn't. I send an observer into his base- it gets killed by turrets. I scratch my head, hallucinate some Shuttles, and send four of them into his base. He has bunkers, tanks, and turrets everywhere! I realize it's time to crack the turtle. He does have a Sci Facility so I worry about Lockdown.
He tries a very weak attack with one Tank and M&Ms against my bottom right expansion. Photons and Carriers eat that. I Maynard my main's probes- straight into his base. I need the supply :)
Six Carriers with minor Dis Web support go into his base - and fail. That's right, fail. One carrier dies, a lot of Inters bite it, and I realize this guy is a real turtle. I move back and make more Carriers/Sairs. If not for the supply limit, I would have made three times what I did- I had that many resources. He had none. It was only a matter of time.
He tries a couple more expands. You can guess what happened to them.
With heavy dis web support, a lot of pain, and so many Interceptor shots fired it isn't even funny, I finally make him leave after beating more than half his defense. I realize he never had any Ghosts, and only one Wraith. (aka corsair food)
Muttering about stupid turtles who aren't even newbies, I declare victory and go on to write a BR about it. | | Battle Shots! | 
His defense. This guy is psycho.
Is the Dis Web hurting your eyes?
