Lifetime Rating for Flint79: 6.3714 |   | Hello again everybody. I woke up today at 4:30 am with total desire not to go to work today. I called in sick. I vowed to rake no sandtraps today and this worker drone would not join his fellows at salt mines this morning. After informing my jerk..err...Boss and parents of my condition...I was left alone all day to my "recovery". After a Grand-Slam breakfast and watching "Dirty Harry" I decided that I would check out the Tuesday daytime SC public crowd on Battlenet.
I was looking for an FFA and made the game type as needed. None were any good (mucho money hunters maps)...but I found one that was amusing. It was an FFA...but on Challenger (?). The game name was odd..and one I can't remember. I decided this might be amusing. I joined. Let the insanity begin.
Map: Challenger
Me: Toss (Picked)
Him: Random to Zerg
I hate the public randomers...they can be deadly sometimes. I do a standand double gate build to be conservative and send out a peon to scout.
He has gas already, many drones and that's it. Possible insane powerer. I move the probe just outside of he base. I will send him back in a second later. I am making Zealots out of two gates back home and have about 5. I send my probe back in to see his base. He has done some kinda gas then evo chamber build. I get a fashback of a Terran I played that had an e-bay first build. Well...he has nothing at all to stop an 8 Zealot attack, so my troops are en-route. When they arrive, the pool is finally morphing, but is quickly destroyed. The rest of his base falls fast as well.
Him: LOL! YOU GOTTA LET ME PLAY YOU AGAIN! K K K K?
Me: Ummm...alright.
He is eliminted from the game...but I go back to the free-for-all section and sure enough, there he is. His game is named ,"PLAY ME I'M THE BEST!!!". I join again. I elect to go random this time and he does as well. with a "GOGOGOGOGOGOGOOGOGO!!!" from his part..the countdown began. He chose the same map too.
Well...I got Toss again. I do the exact same build and scouting order to find he is Zerg....again. He goes gas then evo chamber (again). I take note that there might be possible head injuries on my opponents behalf. I could have rushed him (again). But I decided to let him live for a while and show him some power. He informes me that he is 16 years old. Somehow I find that hard to believe.
I decided to be a daring little bastard this game to make it more exciting for me. I expand twice and tech while only making 4 Zealots for my 3 base defence. 12 lings was all the man had to make. But alas...he did not attack me once. Only when I have 10 gates, many pylons and 2/2/2 upgrades do I make more attack units. The zealots and goons pile up. I have snuck an observer into his base to see..2 hatches, Den, Evo Chamber , 2 sunkens, 5-6 spores 5 Hydralisks, and 4 lings.
I inform him of the observers presence..and he says, "DO YOU LIKE MY DEFENCES???" His 2 sunkens were a formidable defence at that. Well to close this story. I attack with many Zealots, Dragoons, one Archon and an Arbiter (the Arbiter was show how I was tech superior to him and he did'nt know what the archon was). He also did'nt know I was Toss until I attacked and he insulted me for lying to him about saying I was Terran :P. I figured he would have caught on by now I was toss when I told him about my Observer...or he could have scouted me.
Him: LOL!!! I AM SUCH A LOSER LOL!!!!
AGAIN he cries AGAIN! AGAIN! I am hesistant...but agree to his cries.
AGAIN...I look in Free-For-All and there he is. Challenger again. I vow this will be the last time we meet on Bnet. I pick Terran and he goes random. Again...the "GOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGOGO!" sounds from his computer.
The game startes. He exclaimes, "YAY! I'M A DIFFERENT TEAM"
I do a rax depot rax build and scout him out while doing this. He has early gas again...and is working on a depot. This is one of the guys that makes the 4-poolers out there stay in business.
Him: WHERE U FROM?
Me: Canada....you?
Him: SWEDEN!!
Me: Cool
Him: OK
Quite the conversation there...I make 12 rines and get an academy. Scan him to see he working out of one rax. Idle when I saw it. I have enough cash to make two factories and do so. I make another 12 rines and get 4 tanks + range and stim.
Him: CAN WE BE FRIENDS??
Me: Ummm...ok
Him: COOL
Me: cool indeed.
Him: OK
I scan him and move out my 24 marine and 4 tank assult force to eliminate him ( I choose to kill him now...as now we are "friends" and I shutter at the thought of knowing him on any kind of personal level. )
He had nothing to halt my push. His few rines are blown-up and firebats crushed as I move into his base and start knocking it down.
HIM: WHAT'S YOUR E-MAIL? DO YOU LIKE MUSIC?
I stim my rines to kill him faster.
HIM: DO YOU HAVE ANY PETS? I HAVE A DOG!!! TELL ME YOUR E-MAIL PLZE???
I Stim 2 more more times...die you bastard...die die! For the love of God...just die.
He does die when his refinery is crushed and he leaves with an "LOL!!! E-MAIL E-MAIL HURRY HURRY LALALALALALALA" He does not recieve my e-mail or any response from me. I give a quick thanks for him being so far away from your humble narrator. It's a strange world out there people. But hey...just about anything is better than going to the job that I hate :) . This was close though. Hope you enjoyed my amusing little story about Flint's day off from the Salt mines. Later everybody.
