| Not bad! Pretty long though. Maybe more pics with actual SS instead of these modified ones. Don't mistake its still amazing, you just have to keep the interest up. |

Phew that was a long one..
but still no time wasted..
I think I´ll print this one..
I kinda´ missed actual battleshots though, but those U had were good for me to keep track of this long BR..

I never thought of you as the third best BR writer ducky...
When are you going to start rating? Your rating log in ID hasn't been used yet. |
| #6 NeonPeon (209.57.26.2)[11441] |

Good BR, but needs better pics than the same old map pics.
Gets boring. A little humor wouldnt hurt either.
And yes, that Korn logo does suck.

| This is an amazing report. Pictures are not needed with a game and writing like this. Its nice to see something that requires an attention span here. Word of advice for reading the writing on the pics, compres the jpgs first, then add the writing. Makes it a little clearer. Hope to see more reports from you. |

I'm speechless. This report OWNS. The pictures were a little bare, but they helped me keep a sense of what was going on.
Absolutely Funk-a-licous. Any game with statised peons just rocks

Wow. I cant say that Ive read all the reports on this page, but I have been visiting this page for a long time, and I read a TON of reports. And this has the closest and most thrilling battle ever.
Who cares about fancy pix? Your pix show enough of the battle to make it even easier to understand
I have rated a lot of reports, and I didnt give away a lot of 10s (In fact, most reports I rate get a lower rating from me than from the other raters)
This is a very hard decision - this reports deserves a 9.5, and due to the lack of fancy pix you will get a lot of 9s and maybe 8s from other ppl
I will rate it 10, so with a few 9s you will get the rating you deserve.
PS: Is it legal to rate a report twice? If so, I would rate it once with a 10 and once with a 9, giving it a total of 9.5 :) |

I mean, come on people - do you really need to see action shots? It's nothing you've never seen before! Yeah, this was a good report. I think it's YRM's fault [leaving] that people aren't writing like shit any more. He must be chastised. Bad YRM. Bad. *swats YRM with a newspaper* This means that I'LL have to write good reports too. |

| I too am more concerned with what happens in the game then with the pretty pictures so I thought this was one of the best reports in a while, awesome job. |
| #17 JSH (nscs40p2.remote.umass.edu)[11489] |

| I thought the pic that detailed how much was left at each expansion was a really good idea. Excellent report too, don't worry about people who say it was boring, they just have no attention span. |
| #18 ']['amaraw (203.172.21.187)[11492] |

| This is a roller coaster ride report. Can't tell who's gonna win. Good report, should have included the stats. I always check them to see how the game was closely contested in terms of resources and unit kills. |
| #19 DFA (spider-wm034.proxy.aol.com)[11493] |

Great Report, this is really one in a thousand, i've read most of the reports here, but never really comment on them, but i had to with this one, those pics that he had i think were much better than battle shots, they gave you an idea of where the game was and where it was going, great job!=) ohyeah, what's up with the lack of reports in the last few days, 1 report in 2 days..hmm i should start writing, but i sux

You know... I have a feeling that this might BE ~CattleBruiser~ smurfing out a report. Note the ~ in the author's name, and the similar joke style of name... not to mention a similar style to some of CB's early reports...
Hmm... |
| #25 MikeyMonty (spider-tj012.proxy.aol.com)[11581] |
|
| That's quite a possibility, YRM. Not only that, but ~CB~ hasn't commented yet, and this kind of report is his cup of tea. |
| #26 ~CB~ (buri.campus.vt.edu)[11586] |
|
I think this report is a testament to prose over prettiness, although definitely not for those with short attention spans. Nicely done.
And YRM, when was the last time I did a BR here? I thought I was retired... ;) Forty years down the road, I'm going to come out of retirement and post a report on "Starcraft: Holodeck.net Edition", and a retributive 9 will fall out of the sky. The reason I hadn't commented is because I'm being wooed by Team Fortress these days...although it is nice to come back and see so many high-ratings. And Ducky is a triple-golder? Congrats! I had 3 on a page once too... but back then I was the only person posting here :p
And Necro, I think we should get Johnny to implement 0.5 ratings between 8 and 10 since there's so many reports at that end of the spectrum now.
Cheers,
~CB~ |

| Actually, 5 of 6 reports are gold =] I'm doing pretty good, considering last 4 we're posted within 6 days =] I just watched a GREAT 2v2 game with darkhawke and lizz and lizz something and butter slicer, and I'm gonna br that this week, but I have a real good time posting br's. I don't plan to quit posting battlereports anytime soon, unless this site is shut down. I also think mark4 has something to say to me...via email, cuz he wanted me to email him for soemthing =] |
| #28 Multi_-^-_ (max4-76.flint.corecomm.net)[11595] |

OMG That BR blew me away! That was such a cool report. Frankly, I liked the modified pics. Ya know, showing where what happened. I dont really need pics of the action I can think it up in my head, I've played SC long enough ^^ anyway, it was nice.
|
| #29 ~CB~ (buri.campus.vt.edu)[11600] |
|
Ducky,
Just remember to keep the BRs fun for yourself, and don't worry about ratings or upping the ante or pleasing other writers :) The instant it's not fun anymore, stop, because you'll find yourself feeling like you "have to" write another report for everyone else instead of enjoying it yourself.
Cheers,
~CB~ |
| #30 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11601] |

| Amazing! What a fantastic battle and you gave a great BR of it. Both are very skilled players and I enjoyed reading about all thier tricks and learnt a few things in the process. The pictures were great, too. Who needs a picture showing what George the SCV is thinking anyways? That's something I can live without. I would hope to see more BR's like this, but I'm afraid fantastic games like that don't happen every day 8-( |

Thanks everyone for the great comments! It's good to know that there's still a demand for good stories without a lot of pictures. I can't believe I got a 9.0 already, but I guess
more people haven't gotten around to rating it yet. Maybe I'll write another one, if I can get a game as good as this one to do it with. GG both of you! |
| #34 YourRoleModel (relay.atinc.com)[11654] |

Good job! Just remember, this isn't for fun. This is for COMPETITION! Battlereports are a good way to determine your worth as a human being, and your ability at starcraft is a good indication of whether or not your country is the best country in the world at everything. If you're having fun, you aren't working hard enough! Get back to work.
~CB~ nice job getting a friend to post as "A~Butter~Slicer" so that people would think it wasn't you. I know all the tricks.
All the best,

| #38 YourRoleModel (relay.atinc.com)[11693] |

I didn't rate this one yet Duck... still mulling it over. It's good work though. One thing that I learned was NOT to put out reports so often, or all of a sudden it's expected... and your best effort is still appreciated, but maybe less so than it would be if you created a level of anticipation.
You don't want to put in 6 hours and have people say, "oh, another pretty good Ducky Report..." when really it's very good and you put in alot of effort. It is very cool to see all the golds on this page, and I don't feel that they are inflated to be rated so either. |

I can't help it... I love sarcasm. Dilbert is my favorite cartoon, followed closely by the defunct Calvin and Hobbes. Sorry... I can't control my sarcastic urges or the need to make up trademark phrases, like:
Retributive Nine
Gratuilicious
And the one's I can't make up, I steal from Chris Jericho... |

Absolutely the best, most riveting report I've ever read. Definitely deserves a 10.
Doesn't need pictures, doesn't need shortening. I loved the maps showing what was happening where. Often my eyes glaze over trying to keep up with what's where -- but not this time.
The report made me want to play this map. Many many times.
The early strategy to kill you was brilliant. It's cool that the 4th guy got disconnected so that this great 1v1 game could happen.
Don't let the early negative comments change _anything_ about your style. Terrific wonderful amazing. Great job. |

Way to go Butter Slicer.. That was one damn incredible game wasn't it? I once played a FFA that was 4.5 hours long on winter conquest. It was me and Chargon, in the end his one ghost killed my weakened battle cruiser by locking it down. That game was bad ass. But we had to call a stalemate cause all my troops were stuck on an island and I couldn't kill his buildings. Likewise he had no dropship or air units.. It was funny as hell.
I loved the blinding, restoration and nukes. TT used all the tricks in this game! Who says floating buildings can't win you games? |

Just a comment..
This is a super report..
But I hate to say that after this was posted there came better ones.. rated lower..
How is that???

| Exciting, well reported battle. My hat is off to a butter slicer. However, I do love those little ballons telling us what Demitrius the Drone is up to, so I give the report a 9. Great strategy is appreciated and there was some interesting strats here. If pp doesn't waste time and resources on zerg and goes more arbiters and carriers, and maybe more HT and DA, I think he wins before TT gets so many lockdown capable ghosts, and too many golies. |
