Wow, I think I own at least half of that alt-text. Report out by this week. Yea...maybe.

Anyways, good job. 8.

to badme:

in regards to the whole comment, keep in mind that too much complexity and too much stuff all at once can really confuse readers. that's just how i feel.

The font hurt my eyes >.<
The writing was a bit boring, I ended up skipping some of it and looked at the pics instead. And you didn't put me in the alt text :(

Well, solid writing, enjoyable game, oh, and it's a maareek report - 8.

But the interview is screwed up...

No, wait, I mean: hotdamn another Maar special! I really like your dry humour although your alt-text sucks as of late ;). Pics were telling the tale well as well.

Alt text would have been better if he wasn't using so much of Lith's stuff and more of my stuff...

Hehehehehehe.

When's that interview gonna be up? :D

And one last thing. "Copywrited" isn't a word. If anything, it means you stole it. The word is "Copyrighted."

And uhh...I was hacking so I knew you were toss?

Nice battlereport. I really think your images need some work - like, try and make them in collage form or something. However, I know you're still getting used to GIMP. The writing was dry for the most part, yet I really enjoyed your format. On the whole I would say this is a 7.5 - however I'll rate you an 8, knowing that someone else will rate down :]
#19 PeaceableGhost[155141]
adsl-68-73-196-164.dsl.sfldmi.ameritech.net
I rather enjoy the un-collaged pictures, in all honesty... maybe it's just because everybody else does collages.
#20 [155142]

well a single big image of the battle would work too ;)

Thanks for the comments/ratings guys. I'll respond to you each individually when I'm more lucid.
#22 maareek[155162]
mblt-ad091.gtcom.net
thx for the comments everybody.

Heh, badme. *pats you on the head condescendingly* Advice ignored ;p (in part because you put out a report and took away from more comments for me and partly because of reasons I have already told you). Thx for the help anyway.

Shruiken, Lith: thx

Conv: sry about the font, it should be white on black :/. And the reason you aren't in the alt-text is you always seem to be offline when I'm on. Or in a different game.

wak: You deserve no acknowledgment for that comment. And you deserve disdain for staying afk for forever then logging off. :( Put a report out and I'll <3 you again. ;p

Dibb: thx, get on bw some more and we can "discuss" my alt-text. (read: you can give me alt-text and I can forget all about the rest of these hasu fools ;) ).

DD: If I say it's copywrited, it's copywrited. You should know that maar is always right by now. ;)

Dag: thx for the suggestions.

Peaceable: thx, I still prefer single pics too. But I seem to be outnumbered...

Interview is now up. Sorry it wasn't sooner just got back from vacation.

Yeah, I figured as much JV, ty. I had hoped I got you before I left, guess not. No biggey, though...waiting didn't hurt anybody. :)

Apparently I can't spell. :/

Good work, a worthy contribution to the Rook's Corner tradition. Normally an 8 but with the interview...
#28 Dibbler[155239]

Hehe: nice ratings Maar. But to be quite honest: I didn't really like the interview. I know how it feels to be yearning for attention, but an interview shouldn't focus on the interviewer but on the interviewee.

Great classic report. I enjoyed the writing, and the report did a good job of holding me in suspense there at the end. This was a good game to report on, seemed like it could go either way.

Nice use of images, nice font, what can I say it was quality.

Thx guys!

Dibb: Well, how would he ever prove I had done the interview if it wasn't more about me than him? Anyway, we all know that DD is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> me at reporting so I must get mine some other way.

DD: Partial credit belongs to you...though I have no idea why.

badme: Well, at least you got a 10 before you went...

I got ratings from Johnny AND Mark...I now look down on most of you hasu bastards. ;p

After reading this report I do have to agree with some of what has been said previously. Your writing style did occasionally get somewhat unusual and other times boring with minutia. The frequent small paragraphs did also get minorly annoying. There were also the typically present/past tense problems that showed up throughout the report.

The pictures while showing the action did sometimes look haphazardly sized and placed. Picture number 15 disrupted your report's formatting by stretching out the right margin for me. As Dag said, I myself also wanted to see a large picture of the battlefield at some point, especially during the final battle.

It was a decent report and a close battle so I'll give it a 7.
