I had to do the last part of that BR in WordPad, and let me say that WordPad is so much better than NotePad, the search command is so much easier.

Woohoo, single digits
GJ, nice collages, though complicated sometimes with so many pics and no order (except for the first one)
Replays do make good reports, I liked being able to see dropship contents etc.
I really wanted corb to win tho, dammit man make more gates!


#6 xld.aldogrez[95164]
spider-mtc-tc081.proxy.aol.com
yeah, the pics always in order from left to right though, and only the first pic's order was confusing because of the size of a few of the pics.

This rulz !!!
Keep up the BR's, since I cant see replays from my office comp. And let them be in this quality, plz.

Does anyone have a replay-player, that works without SC ? (oops, forum question, well ...).

Nice report yo ;]

Funny I sent you that bm collage of sVEN thrashtalking without even knowing you're making a report of him. Btw he's [GG8], you newb ;P

#14 xld.aldogrez[95184]
spider-wf062.proxy.aol.com
gah, I couldve sworn I checked it, I guess [GG1] is Elky :|, oh well.

triped, I was sick of people complaining about how there was a lot of blank space in my reports, go read the comments of the others, please don't complain now that I changed it.

I don't think there's any way to watch replays without having bw zulu :[

I saw the replay a while back, and you missed the part where Sven got a perfect comsat right on his starports as the 3rd/4th carrier was warping in, so he had plenty of time to prepare for it
#17 xld.aldogrez[95194]
spider-th021.proxy.aol.com
yeah, the part about the weapons upgrade and lack of troops was telling you guys that he already knew about it, the comsat wasnt necessary :|

why isn't this rated yet? NEED MORE RATERS! j/k, it's been out less than a day. GJ xld, make more, you still need a couple more reports to get way up there with everyone else. Of course, you have a news item, so i should shut up

"Someone else already posted the replay of this, but I'll post it again shortly after you read this, if it's not up already. "

corb gave the replay to me and we watched the game so he could tell me what was going on. If anything you stole my replay. The only two people that got the replay directly from corb were myself and poa, and the only reason you got it was because i couldnt get in touch with poa to ask him not to give it out.

anyways gosu as ever man.
the game couldn't have been better =]
the pics were grand! except for that background ;P it looked weird TT
anyways, now on to the negative: your writing.
im sorry to say this but your writing was incredibly confusing this whole br; nothing like some of yours in the past.

"For some reason drops the reaver first, and it's quickly attacked by the tank sieged in Sven's mineral line, and Corb quickly reloads the reaver and zealot and heads towards Sven's ramp to see if he can cause any damage. "

sentences like that are not DrA friendly ;|

#28 [95218]
user63.net128.va.sprint-hsd.net
ok, lets see
nearly every sentence was a run-on and the repor did not flow well. re-read it and tell me you think it was great writing. combine all that with an incredibly confusing, micro-intensive game, and you get an very difficult to read report.
#29 xld.aldogrez[95219]
spider-wf084.proxy.aol.com
exactly, it was a micro intensive game, and there were almost always at least three things going on.

With replays now, I felt I had to be _very_ descriptive, so as not draw any criticism from people after they watched the replay and realized I left out when sven scanned corb's stargate.

I usually try to hide when I'm disappointed so I don't come off like a whiny ass, but after spending almost an entire day just doing the pictures for this report, I'm disappointed to recieve an 8. Nothing I can do about it, so whatever happens happens.
#30 xld.aldogrez[95220]
spider-wf084.proxy.aol.com
Also, I know this will sound cocky, but if you put this report with 10 other random reports from this site, chances are it would look better and read better to the average read, a 9 out of a possible 10.
#31 [95222]
user63.net128.va.sprint-hsd.net
hm xld im sorry .. you dont sound whiny, you have every right to be upset.

i just sure as hell wish other raters would come and voice their opinions on the report.. i wanna see if i am seriously off on this one
#32 Somebody...[95223]
cc37120-a.ewndsr1.nj.home.com
OWNAGE!!!!! This is definetely one of the best games packed with the most action I have seen in a very long time. Just one point though...THE MAP IMAGE THAT YOU PUT UP IS WRONG!!!!! The map was played on NEW Remote Outpost, but the map that you put was Remote Outpost. The difference is that New Remote Outpost has a big empty space in the middle. Besides that, this report is perfect!

I'd give it a 9

sby...

Wow what a great report. I want to see the replay. Is there a way to code the BR reports to upload replays? I'd like to be able to click on the replay of every game instead of hunting it down on another site...

You mention at the end of the report that gols have a ground range upgrade? I was not aware of this. What exactly is the upgrade?
#36 xld.aldogrez[95233]
spider-th032.proxy.aol.com
gols ground attack gained a +1 upgrade from 5 range to 6 range.

If I'd taken the time to upload the replay before I submitted the report I could've linked to it at the end, do you mean coding it to automatically begin uploading?
#37 xld.aldogrez[95237]
spider-th032.proxy.aol.com
try highlighting the text, that'll probably make it easier to read. If you want to read it bad enough you could paste into notepad or some other program.
#38 anal-banana[95238]
bcfw1g.ext.bridge.com
What I mean is that there should be a link to the replay as a standard link to each BR. Just like there is a "click here to view comments" link at the top and bottom of each BR, there should be a "click here to view replay" link at the top and bottom.
#39 xld.aldogrez[95239]
spider-th032.proxy.aol.com
yeah, that's a good idea, im sure jv could put a box to upload the replay in when you submit the report, hopefully he'll come back to br.com soon.

#49 xld.aldogrez[95293]
spider-th083.proxy.aol.com
DrA, I was gonna tell you this on AIM, but since you're never on I'll just write it here and hope you see it :|

Sorry about the comments above, I was taking this way too seriously, it's just something to do in my free time, not a living :[

I can also see why you rated the way you did, there's probably much more pressure on you to try and cover all the angles, since you and Dref are the only two active writers, and because I think once one of you two sees a rating on a report, you read that one last and try to rate all the others that haven't recieved a rating yet.

I started doing BRs just for the ratings, and that's why they've felt like kind of a chore lately I guess, but with hardly any people reading reports any more, it's hard to do them to please :|.

K, I'm done.

Oh yes, that was deep.

Nice work, although I do agree that the writing was "mashy". Of course, it's hard to strike a balance between detail and action-flow.

Your pics could have used a little bit of compression... even with high speed connections becoming more prevalent, a picture should be worth its weight in Ks -- IMO the pics, while very pretty, didn't justify their file sizes. A few notches down on the JPG compression scale usually isn't too noticeable anyhow.

Cheers.
