http://havengames.net/immortal/
or bnet channel [i]
u can see me there and talk bout how to make better BR =)


#5 JSH (128.119.178.143)[10097]
Dude, you got a 2 because your presentation totally sucked. We don't have 50" monitors to see your big-ass pics. No one's gonna want to sit there and scroll back and forth all the time. LIFE LESSON: You've gotta present it properly or else it won't get read.
#6 Slicer (38.28.130.43)[10098]
A 2? That's funny, I gave him a 1 for this report.

DO YOU EVEN THINK ABOUT PEOPLE WHO WILL READ THE DAMN THING, IDIOT??

#7 [i]ProZerRan (199.247.227.238)[10099]
WooHoo!!!!
im keeping going lower and lower!!!!
i cant belieave this....
just go to the geocities link above!
damn retard....
it is not big, i creat it with 640x480 this time
And btw that if this same BR is creat by YMR, they gonna give a rating of 9+
i know that YMR is a good writer
but some ppl write a report with NO SS, and they got a rating of 8+!!!!
wTf is this?
Heh, u just need a name + a good report = high rating
bad name + a good report = really really low rating =)

This is why the Immortals are a crappy clan=]

#9 JSH (128.119.178.143)[10106]
If you can't get the BR to work correctly here and you force the raters to use an external link just so they can read it, then you're doing something wrong and you're probably gonna get a low rating. If you can't write HTML correctly then don't bother trying to make this super fancy report with 78092750279 pics if it's not even going to work right.

And don't go thinking this is some conspiracy against you, there are plenty of first-time BR writers that get 7's and 8's for their work.
#10 JSH (128.119.178.143)[10108]
I just read your BR on your geocities link. First of all your spelling and grammar are atrocious. And second, why did you put every single screenshot you had into the report? There's such a thing as too many, you know. And people without a cable modem aren't gonna sit there and wait for dozens of pictures to load.

So if I was a rater I'd still give you a 1.
#11 <B>YOURROLEMODEL</B> (207.2.172.252)[10112]
1 - It's Your ROLE Model, not YourModelRole.
2 - The reports are rated on this site, and as much as a blank screen deserves a ten in my opinion... the other judges disagree.
3 - I don't get ratings because of who I am... I started on this site as an unknown at the beginning of the summer. It's not about having 56 pictures and alot of text man... there has to be some kind of character to the report. Don't be like "And btw that if this same BR is creat by YMR, they gonna give a rating of 9+"... You think they let me off easy on grammer or spelling or story? I don't get ratings based on my name.
4 - The one on your site isn't bad, JSH is right about too much though. I would give that one higher than a 1 or 2 for sure, but not a 9.

Have a nice day.
#12 [FLS]prozerran (128.91.67.255)[10115]
Why would anyone bother rating this one?
#13 .Praetor (209.63.107.119)[10120]
As one of those people who get 8.0+ for reports with all text and no screen shots, it's in the writing. If the style is good, it gets a high rating. (Note that I am talking about actual reports, not PL:C)

And the name may help sometimes, but not much. And even then, it takes a few reports to build a reputation. My first report was a silver, and I think YRM's was as well. And if The Rubber Ducky can get a gold, the name can't be that big of a factor...
#14 <font color="#FF0000">Twip</font><font color="#333333"> (port-2-31-56k.gallipoli[10134]
</font><font color="#FF0000" size="2">The first time I ever read a YRM report, I was biased against him because of something I'd read on the BW S&T Forums (something which I forget now :o\ - I think it was something he'd written that I disagreed with). It wasn't that great, reminded me a little of my first try (out of an entire 2 reports people, LOL). Suddenly he wrote this gold, and even I was raising my eyebrows and looking at improvement. And THEN he writes a controversial 10 that everybody and his grandmother has heard about and likes now. :D And now he's leaving...oh well. The thing that gets me is - everyone wants Fractal or someone to take his place. What about CattleBruiser? :o( Yeah yeah, I'm one of the people who prefers his style compared to YRM's (this is something someone else said, about YRM using comical pics and CB using...uhh...I forget :o\). But Fractal is a good choice if we want more YRM I guess. But, but, MyCommentWhore is coming back anyway...see...I can be in denial too...*snaps around in his chair and stares at the blank wall with wide eyes*...err...*turns back around*...I'm not in denial...I'm not paranoid...heeehehehehehehe...*stands up, cackling like a maniac, and runs straight into a wall and passes out*.

Bah. My name is no longer The Rubber Ducky. It never was THe Rubber Ducky. it was TheRubberDucky and I'm not insane. I'm funny =] Maybe I should start charging ppl that are in the channel when I am $5 BTW, I think my reports are getting better. And I think they may be the only thing thats holding me in sc right now outside of the fact I want to see ghost beat mark4 Haha. Time for queen's english br's!
#16 NaiLz (liam.pekin.net)[10144]
I agree w/Twip. Cattle should start writing more BR's and not exaclty "take" YRM's place, but just write some good br's and yes Rubber you write good ones also.
#17 <img "http://www.angelfire.com/sc2/SuperGeneral/images/SuperGeneral.jpg"></i[10145]
This is general (fuckin HTML)

1. the rating is for how well the report did on <i> this </i> site.
2. DO NOT CUT AND PASTE DUMBASSES (sorry ducky I had to sayt that)
3. Don't use HTML unless you know how to.
4. Even the report on your geocities page sucked, it reminded me of my own :}
#18 [i]ProZerRan (hogue.yukon.net)[10151]
Thanks for all the comments =)
And will try to do better the next time ^^
by the way, that immortals is not a crappy clan
just crappy writers...
#19 Persian-POW (proxy1-external.rdc1.az.home.com)[10152]
Wow, 22 comments for a report that didn't even show up. If you actually wrote a real one...
#20 Blank (183.hartford-08-09rs.ct.dial-access.att.net)[10156]
No, trust me, Immortals are a shitty clan=] Warrior and Nanogirl are the only have decent members I've played... but then again, I haven't played that many immortals yet...

Oh well, looking forward to the twn tourney, hope to see you guys there=]

#22 Barage (160.10.203.112)[10174]
I find your 'good name=8+' insulting.

Myself, I knew I was weak in html, so what I did was make it in composer. However, I did so to see how I wanted it to look like. I ended up cutting from my Word version of the report (first I did a full text version, then placed it in composer to find out how I wanted it to look like and find out what tags did what) and typed in the tags myself. I ended up having to fix up some of the formating anyway (some still didn't fix up and I almost redid it anyway). I have another report comming with pictures, and I'm more then expecting to not only have to redo it, but also get a lower score (For some reason, I can't get things the way I like it. Excalibur_Z is my co-writer, and if he's reading this, I think I'll be needing some help here :P).

I'm far from that well known now, nevermind about the time I wrote the report. Saying that the little acclaim I have was the reason why I got what I got is just pure BS.

IMO, if you had cared to actualy re-edit the report or actualy bother with typing HTML (don't even have to know it, just get netscape to show the Page Source from what you wrote and then slip in the tags that are needed), you would've gotten a much better report. Jeesh, the editers allow for a person to remake a screwed up one (I hope so at least :P).

Give these writers some credit, and don't bother with excuses.

#23 Dev (208-25-61-50.stk.jps.net)[10179]
Hey 'Me': Fuck off. If everyone wrote battle reports like this, the site would not be worth maintaining. It would be nothing more than a collection of external links to trash writing and whining authors.

Not to mention the total morons with IQ scores less than 50 who actually post comments defending them. (Hint: That's you).

Pardon my fucking language.

Dev, you brought a smile to my face. =]
#25 nobbone (193.26.247.102)[10193]
hah!!!
my screen is wide enough for the report :-))
no scrolling needed
#26 Snowreaver (209.125.70.250)[10195]
He's decided to create a new style. It's like cubism or something.
#27 Bob the Newt (2428hfc35225.tampabay.rr.com)[10199]
Doesn't really matter because getting a 1 makes people much more likely to read your report than a 4-7.
#28 YourRoleModel (relay.atinc.com)[10201]
Always shoot for the stars, and if you miss... miss by a million miles.
#29 Barage (160.10.203.112)[10209]
Bob has a point there. The last few 8s and 7s have had fewer comments here. Jeesh, mine had half this many.

Btw, the 'essay' comment was refering to my own comments, some of which nearly reach 1 page. Meanwhile, grammer and spelling helps people read a report (try reading those BRs that are just one long paragraph). If he used the word 'barrage' to refer to a hydra attack and mispelled it, the writers might think I was in the game :P.

ya I defend ppl who put effort into doing something for your enjoyment...for free. How dare I...omg I must be a horrible person.

#31 Dev (209-142-59-39.stk.jps.net)[10251]
Listen here and listen good, "Me". I don't give a damn and a half about the fact that the report was ridiculously bad. He can use poor grammar and spelling all he wants. But comparing this absolute DRIVEL to a decent writer like YourRoleModel is a fucking travesty. If you have a problem with people who don't like poor spelling and grammar, I reccommend you do several things:

1) Read the report guides and pay close attention to the writing style sections.

2) Get the fuck off the site and take [i]prozerran with you.

3) Find a large city bus that's going at least 50 mph.

4) Wait until it's about ten feet away, then step in front of it.

If you can still walk, repeat steps 3-4.

Dev, can you Xerox your hate for me? I need some more. Do you happen to be working for fitshaced.com?

Anyway, I have a better fate for him. Make some hockey pads for him out of nitroglycerin. Then pit him up against the entire Ducks (Disney-owned) hockey team.

When one of them hits him hard enough (a hard thing for the Ducks), the resulting explosion will...

1. Save us from bad reports and people defending bad reports.
2. Annihilate the Ducks (YAY!) and the screaming idiots who like to hide behind the puck-proof glass because it makes them feel brave (Double YAY!).
3. Get some TV stations better ratings :)

Hah ok I'm gone, I don't need to spend time with complete asshole nazi's. I just thought I'd stick up for someone who tried to give something back, but obviously that isn't worth a damn to you dillusional fucks. Step away from the computer and realize that we are in-fact just ppl here.
