This is a really good report. You are accelling like a motherfucker. The only complaint is doing a 6p ffa. That gets extremely confusing. The most, MOST, I would ever consider doing would be a 4 player ffa. I did one once and even that turned out a bit confusing. Anyway, this was awsome. Oh yeah, one more thing. You might wanna watch out for colorful text. It's distracting. Anyway, good BR. Keep up the good work.

Andy, stop skipping school to write br's! Like 10 times you spelled while as well. Next time just ask me to proof read it for you. If ffa's are so hard to write about and one of your lessons learned was not to write them, then WHY THE FUCK DO YOU KEEP WRITING THEM?! Why do you have to wait 2 weeks to post the replay? I understood this br perfectly. I don'y know if that's because of my supreme brain power or what, but I had no problem understanding this. *Deep Breath* Anyway, great br!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an improvement since your first one! I really hope that you make gold! Keep up the good work!

P.S.<---------(my initials : )) You are so far behind in school! We started this big history project due on like tuesday! You are so screwed! Stop skipping school!

hrm, some things did annoy me. You kept saying how absolutely great everyone was in their descriptions. They aren't that good =[.

Also, the colour of your text irritated me, and your collages/images could use work ( borders weren't always the right size etc ). They ARE a definite improvement though. Your text could use some work . . . it's the only text I ever read that's utterly dry one moment then helter skelter and excited the next. The only continuity I can find in the writing is that it's always repetitive. I like how you used a single paragraph as your late game.

Also, if you report a 6 FFA, know that a report of this size is typically enough to cover about 1/3 of the game, tops. Check out some of the better reporters' FFA brs and learn how to do them a little better.

ANYWAY, don't get discouraged, this was a good attempt and you're improving rapidly. I'd say 6.4.
#21 Zalbag[118590]
chi-tgn-gut-vty159.as.wcom.net

#18 just temporarily set your settings to 1024/768 and then reset them when ur done w/report.
-----------------critique-------------------
first how can he be improving dag if he gets a worse rating ;) ;) then his last report. Anyways the reason i think this didnt get gold was because of your writing style. Your pics are fine, and your choice of font isn't terrible even though pink writing on black is not great. Try white. This looks like bold arial or comic sans? just use normal arial. Your writing is sooo fast and hard to keep up with. You insert no personal opinion or emotion even when you are in the game. Your player introductions are short and the report seems loosely organized. You went step by step and it didnt seem like there was more then one battle going on at a time. Fix your writing, make it longer, spend more time, and you'll get a gold for sure.

I usually point out bad things in reports so dont let this get you down, I do it to everybody.



That was WAY to short. First you have the build orders and next thing I know carriers are comin out and gettin killed, where did mid game go.

Watch your spelling, I saw an "our" instead of an "are" and a few other things misspelled. Type it up on word, then copy/paste to the submit reports page.

Just work on grammer and length, Br better games, you'll be fine. And maybe your grammer and spelling would be better if you didnt skip school. Hmmmmmm......... *rubs chin, as if he has a beard*

#40 [118643]
Ottawa-ppp3517220.sympatico.ca
Omega,
A) because they aren't writing a report
B) because their grammer contains only minor errors, while those of titan are atrocious.

Um, I really do suck at Terran. And I'm not even a good player, much less great, but thanks anyway titans :).
Pretty good report, but it has some mistakes -- but those have already been mentioned, so I won't go over them again.
And I only won because I took advantage of Chill and Sere fighting each other by killing their remaining mining expansions until I was the only one with money still coming in. Even I can't lose with that advantage.
FFAs are the best type of game :).
#42 (...BlaZe...)[118645]

Also as addendium to dag, because spelling matters more in a text / story you want people to read and enjoy, as compared to a random forum post. How often will you see mistakes in a newspaper?

Haven't read all other comments, so my apologizes if anything thats already been said pops up.
The text was a pain to read, you said in the beginning that there weren't any good colours left or whatever. I'm not sure I get ur point, but if its cuz you don't want to use colours others have used, then just go with the usual white :P
The first couple of paragraphs had me in the dark for the rest of the match, they were really confusing.
In the start, just under of the players name, you kinda revealed who would win :P Thats not clever.
So basically:
-Smaller font
-Less brighter font
-No FFA until you are experienced
-Some decent borders

The writing is hard to comment on how to do better, don't ask me about that

British spelling is colour. It's nearly universal--Canada and most of the commonwealth use British conventions, and in Europe in their foreign language courses they learn British English, not American English. Americans are the exceptional ones who use "color," "flavor," etc.

#74 [118844]
St-Catherines-ppp112535.sympatico.ca
rofl zergling. Though I dont entirely agree. I superpower like the US needs a large military in a violent world. The US defended the "free" world against communism after all, and was the main cause for victory in both World Wars. Nonetheless, generally you're correct, the size of the military means very little as to how "good" a country it. Things like the level of violence in a nation, its social programs, how it is respected across the world and how it treats its weakest may be better criteria to judge a nation on.

I do not wish to delve further into this. If the above post sounds stupid, it's because I'm trying to talk on MSN at the same time =[.
#75 vincible[118851]
roam155-218.student.harvard.edu
Okay, Dag and Ling, the US spends more money on military because the rest of the world free-rides off its expenditures. The reason Europe and Canada can afford their social programs is because they can depend on America's military in case things go wrong. Which is why it pisses Americans off when people criticize America for being unilateralist. If they want a voice, the logic goes, then they should start pulling their own weight financially.

Why am I entering a political discussion in on a Starcraft website?
#76 [118875]
Ottawa-ppp3517211.sympatico.ca
#77 - your first point I agreed with in my post.

The US could easily deliver the types of social programs offered by most Western democracies. However, you choose to squander the money necessary to do so on things like massive tax breaks. It's a governmental decision.

And back to the military argument, it doesn't quite hold weight anymore. Europe in particular is quite capable of defending itself.

I guess I did go into this again. Bah.

roam155-218.student.harvard.edu
Okay, the military argument really does still hold. Europe needs American military power. Whose troops and firepower were primarily used in Bosnia, a European conflict? America's. And America hardly bothered to ask Europe for help in Afghanistan, partly in order to avoid a "war by committee" but also partly because there was really very little that Europe could have contributed. Europe came in after the war was over to keep the peace but it did little actual fighting. Militarily, there's enormous frustration among NATO brass that Europe won't pull its own weight within the alliance.

Don't think this is just my American opinion. You can read pretty much the above analysis in The Economist, which is British, although its obviously a more nuanced view than I've conveyed in this short comment.
#88 vincible[118919]
roam155-218.student.harvard.edu
As for social spending--I agree with you that the US could easily afford to spend a lot more on social programs, and it should in my opinion. However, I don't think I agree that it could spend as much as Europe and Canada do without serious repercussions for the economy, and you could make a case that these other countries spend too much... many of them are moving toward more privatized systems after all (including fair Canada), and their productivity growth has lagged behind America's for the past decade.

Okay, I shut up now. <sigh> I just had this argument with somebody in RL so that's why I'm retyping it all here.

All I'll say vincible is that Europe now for the first time has a continental response force, so it no longer needs America's military to aid it in war. Since the militaries of the great European powers combined rival that of America, this holds true even more :]

Oh yea, dag? Well if you add Canada, Mexico, and all the latin american countries armies to the US, we'd be.... the same size. Wtf. They should contribute much more. The US <i>is</i> the north american continental force.

The European response force doesn't really exist yet except on paper.

You're right that European powers rival (I think exceed) America in terms of army size, but in terms of equipment, material, and most especially technology America has an enormous lead.

most comments is [fls]prozerran's 10 across the board report which got about 800~ (without the spam comments and "i got the last one" comments i'd say it boils down to 700, but still amazing nonetheless)

It might be easier to create a br about a 6 player game if your not one of the players... more time to look at whats going on.

but I liked it anyway

/me was wondering how a thesoby report could generate 100 comments. I figured that at least 40 comments were on spelling/grammar, and another 40 had nothing to do with the report itself. END OF RAMBLING. Anyways thesoby has talent but get some self respect and use a dictionary. Constantly. In fact continuously. Dont allow it to leave your side. Buy more then 1 spare copy.
