Cool, i didnt even know i was in this br, i forgot about you saying you'd report it
Anyways, when you were trying to run your barracks away, you were leading me to your mineral natural (at 12), and i saw the factory going to my natural (at 9). :(
Also, it wasnt really baiting, i was just waiting for my sexy temps to charge up. Turns out i didnt need them.
And finally, that rax float was BAD ASS! hehe, i did have that cannon that you called badly placed guarding one side of my probe line, but it was only "badly placed" cuz your infantry pimp squad took out the cannon on the other side while it was morphing. (Note to self: when containing, leave some stuff at home :( |

that's daamn impressive t_mac...not 10 minutes since i posted it.
What's the world record for 1st-comment-whoring? In seconds? Whoop, you got any figures?
Oog... me stupid. should have floated rax ~away~ from me base...
And I forgot about that 2nd cannon that I removed en route to your probe line. I'm very glad you didn't get that up.

I see this report was rated a 10. First of all I have to disagree. The graphics were great, but it had nothing on YRM. If his reports are the high bar, then you missed the level.
The story was amusing if not well-written, the game was funny if not mediocre, and the map was the same dull map we've all seen before. Ever notice YRM mixes his maps up? KUDOS to Fractal. Thumbs down to the rater. This report is a 9.5-9.6.

In all honesty, I gave this report (and Bob The Newt's) a 10 because I thought it deserved a 9.5 or so. We rathers have no .5 option.
However, I will state that this was a contraversial rating even in the confines of my own cranium. First of all, I usually ask myself two questions when rating. 1) Was this report a bronze, silver, gold, or 10 (in that order). 2) If the answer is not 10, was it a high, medium, or low (insert answer to question 1 here).
So I went against my own rating system. Moreover, I rated this (and Bob's) reports in anticipation of other rater's ratings, which I have previously stated shouldn't be done.
For the most part, I don't do the above. Oh well, it's late, I was agonizing about what to rate, and I said to myself "What's up here, you do 80% of the original ratings on this site (last week or two, I have a short term memory). Just rate it and go to bed."

This game (as much as it hurts to say) looks like complete ownage by T_mac. And I don't understand why an ownage game can get such a high score. Come on... carrier win? People before have been seriously flamed for posting a battlereport on games not even near this close to ownage.
And what's up with the tank dance picture? Cough cough waste my bandwidth some more why don't you?
Very well written, and good detail, but the game was lacking. I give my useless score of 8. This is definately an 8. |

Umm... bout the pics thing... they were either mostly useless or too difficult to determine the point/action. And just cause it's a button in photoshop, doesnt' mean you have to push it (some of the inserts in the Toss collage).
Ok. I'm done. 8.0 |
#33  (relay.atinc.com)[14023] |

Well, I'm not as hard on you as Eggfoo... some of your color choices are a bit out there, but this report kicked much behind. You get picked on, Fractal, but you are a consistantly good writer. Keep it up. You may want to kill me, but I don't think this is quite a 10.0.
9.0 (not retributive though)

Long-time reader, first-time responder, and so on and so forth.... Liked the report, and didn't think it was as one-sided as some responders were complaining... any game where your main gets toasted is -not- a game you are totally owning :)
I saw a lot of the floating building strats that I use as Terran, but I didn't see the "Seeding Convoy" setup that I sometimes use, so I figured I'd put it out there for people to tear up. It has two variations, depending upon how cocky I'm feeling:
REALLY COCKY VARIATION
Once you have factories up, float away one of your Barracks towards an island expand. Start up an expanding CC in your main at about this time.
Drop the barracks, queue four marines to "secure" the vicinity. Lift the CC and head it over to the now guarded island. Lift the barracks and head to the next island. Land the CC while you land the Rax. Queue four marines and three SCVs. SCVs construct Bunker, Turrets. Lift the CC and move to the next island, while building a replacement CC in its place. Lather, rinse, repeat. When you have the tech, by all means transition to....
THE MUCH MORE REASONABLE, LESS COCKY, SLIGHTLY SLOWER TECHIER VERSION
Replace a moving, vulnerable, expensive CC with dropships full of transferred SCVs. Eventually replace the barracks with transferred rines and try to float it into the hidden back-forty of your enemy's main, purely to annoy the crap outta them :)
I'll admit that this is map-dependent... it works pretty well for me on Challenger sometimes, because the early rax-float means that you can get marines on -all- the islands before a slow enemy transports over for their first expand. Combine that with well-microed air superiority and a tank-fortified main, and life can get pretty good. I haven't tried it on Dire, but it seems possible.
D-Web is a serious problem, of course, as it is on all island sieges... again, air superiority where possible (against protoss, you have to -constantly- hunt Observers, to make him hoard them... get yerself a SCI-vessel or twenty, dude).
As with all my strategies, this involves using micro to survive at a disadvantage for long enough to bring some well-guarded expansions on-line, and then just roll over the opposing punk with macro :)
Damn, this turned out to be a long comment. Hope it was useful to someone. |

| Neat strats Palempest... only... doesn't a reaver drop, going from island to island kick bunkered marines in the pants before tanks can be deployed to the islands? |
| #39 Johnny_Vegas (staff-8.ahnet.net)[14045] |
|
| I highly enjoyed this report. Great work on the RAX float. T_Mac is dangerous if he can o refinery you, because he drops like a wounded goat to heavy metal. But besides heavy metal you gotta stay even or greater in the troop production department. I've beaten T_Mac quite a few times, and I count them as some of my best games. |
| #40 Palimpsest (158.71.9.52)[14046] |

Yeah, there are tons of things that will defeat the benefits of seeding islands... dropping enough troops to take out the investment, catching the buildings in the air, out-expanding the terran on the ground, razing their main/tech while their economy is weakened, etc. It's a risky strat whose main benefits are two-fold:
(1) It conservatively takes advantage of early lack of recon in "out of the way" areas (particularly so in a land-and-island map like Challenger, where I've been using it). If you get spotted you'll probably get rocked :)
(2) It reminds you, forcefully, to keep expanding while doing other things. I think of it as a mnemonic aid that costs 550 minerals.
It's by no means a foolproof strategy. Just another thing that can be done with the Terran floating ability.

Any toss that plays a gay-terran from nohunters should expect the gay-2 fac rush. Everyone's trying to be like Heartcutter ;-]
Plus, if he's got 1 barracks/depot at his choke and nothing else (though he's trying to get gas, or he has it) either he's firebat-rushing (heheh) or he's dual-facing'=]
Or wraith rushing...

<b>YRM</b>: I was shocked out of my skin when i saw the 10.0 on this...I'm expecting maybe 9.0 or so.
<b>Egg-Foo-Young</b>: Not quite complete ownage. But close....I just HAD to post it 'cause my Rax float worked. And the tank dance was funny as hell.....but you probably had to be there.
My pix are moving more and more toward the purly visual stimulation...seeing 6 carriers hovering over a terran base & showing cuts of the frantic defense and the interceptors owning provides an extra feel of 'being there'...I'm trying to give you a good idea of what actually happend through the writing...
But you're right..the last few images in "Protoss Power" were excessive...but whatever.
<b>Palimpsest</b>: Me likey. I'll try that next game.
<b>Willzzz</b>: What else is a terran with a rax @ his choke doing? BC rushing? ;P

| Nice report :-). If I were T_Mac, I would set up some cannons to contain you after I had Oassimilator'd you, sorta like what I mentioned in earlier battle reports. But he accomplished the same thing by expanding unnoticed to 3 o'clock anyway. Remember that when a Terran goes heavy-metal, his attention tends to be focused on one area. I've lost more than one game by executing a very nice tank push with 0 losses, but meanwhile my opponent has expanded 2 or 3 times, and OF COURSE the carriers are knocking at my door soon. He'll even sacrifice his main base in order to keep your attention focused there. Scout with your marine, have him patrol between both unused starts, otherwise Toss has too many options. Heck, he could even make a single shuttle and expand to both islands, build a few cannons at his sacrifical natural to delay your tank push, then crank out carriers. This is precisely what one opponent did to me. Sadly, even if I had seen the two island expansions, I dunno what I could have done to take them out...I would need to build a starport, add-on, etc. Sad :-). |

Great BR!
Here's a silly Terran thing I did that worked (on lost temple) - I was playing a Protoss, he did the usual expand-to-island-and-throw-up-piles-of-cannons thing, so I sent over a dropship with a couple of scvs and marines, dropped them on the outer part of the island, and sent my dropship back for 2 tanks. By the time it returned with the tanks I had 3 turrets and a bunker there.
I then sieged and started blasting away his cannons. He sent in a few scouts, which died horribly just as he realised I had turrets there, then he tried to reaver drop on the ledge, but he didn't even drop the reavers before his shuttle went poof. At this point he said something along the lines of 'oh well fine, I don't need that expansion anyway', so I finished it off and built my own expansion there. |

YES! GO 6 RAX FLOATS! WOOHOO! and another strat for terran:
Get 1 ghost.
Get atleast 1 nuke.
Get atleast 1 sci-vessel.
Get atleast one expendable flying building, preferably a cc.
Take ghost, move to to enemy base, dmatrix ghost, send in a flying rax or bay on the *other* side, take a cc, float it over the ghost, and proceed to nuke away. its evil i know.
and one more thing, WHERE, THE FUCK IS CHANNEL NOHUNTERS your always talking about???? is it on bnet? ive tried it at all hours of day and night (on bnet) and its almost always been empty =( and i wanna be in a battle reports, and i wanna drop some ownage on tmac damnit! cause im kewl... you can do a battlereport of my 12 cc float against tmacs main.. heh heh heh. if you have answers to any of my questions, or wtf, or you just wanna flame my ass, email me here(if html works,if not, find the mailto: and copy theaddress)<a href=mailto:kwcharon@aol.com>kwcharon@aol.com</a> |
