 So
this battle report got its beginnings just like
all my other battle reports; with me seeing
someone type join game someting/something and
taking that comment to be directed at me quickly
hitting alt+j and joining the private game.
After joining I quickly typed "me Monkey Boy, me
watchy, me chobo, me good manner man...", an
argument which few can resist, and I was granted
the priveldge of watching the game. As it turns
out this was a 2v2 on rivalry pitting a couple
of smurfs whose real names I still don't know,
against everyones favorite site administrator
Johnny_Vegas and UpgradedKakaru. Since my two
previous attempts at finding a br worthy game
were of Johnny_Vegas' terran getting abused by
another terran, I sincerely hoped that Vegas
would put on a better show this
time.
After
-Tool-'s(another observer) traditional pre-game
confusion, everyone raced up and the game was
started. Team Smurf opted to go with the evil
alien protoss race while Vegas and Kakaru
(henceforth called Team Human) both chose the
honorable terrans.

The
story behind this game is actually quite simple. The
smurfs, having been screwed over in contract after
contract with all the major networks, have decided to
fight back. The smurfs have stolen one of Gargamel's
potions and have turned themselves into giant 10 foot
tall blue fighting machines. Kakaru and Vegas have been
hired to quell this smurf uprising. But the pissed off
smurfs have no intention of being put down
easily.
As the
game begins, Team Human finds themselves in the two
bottom starting locations on Rivalry with Vegas on the
left and Kakaru on the right. Meanwhile on the northern
half of the map, Team Smurf splits up; $peedy taking the
left side with Papa on the right. Vegas begins the game
by informing his teammate of his plan to "wall his ass
in." Kakaru asks if this means he intends to follow a
heavy metal strategy, but Vegas replies, no.
Both terran commanders scout early and see their protoss
oposition using a standard 2-gate build order. Kakaru
asks that Johnny leave his scv in $peedy's base and
Johnny agrees.
 |

So
now our friend, the little lost scv is hanging
out in the protoss base far from home and quite
lonely and bored. Having nothing better to do
and not feeling too secure, he begins to scrap
together a bunker just out of rifle range from
the protoss assimilator. As it would so happen 6
marines and another scv are already headed to
the 'toss encampment and upon their arrival our
scv friend is given a medal for his quick
thinking and initiative. 4 of the marines hop in
the bunker while another goes over to the
assimilator and takes a shot at it to see if
anyones home.
As it
turns out there are 6 zealots home who are none
too pleased with their assimilator being shot
at. The zealots charge the bunker killing
everything outside of it first and then
finishing off the bunker itself. The marines try
to reason with the zealots but the angry smurfs
will not be appeased. They quickly finish off
the marines with out loss, and just like that,
the offensive bunker is over. The scv's medal is
taken off his dead body and a government coverup
is quickly begun to hide the entire thing.

Johnny takes
this oppurtunity to inform his partner that the game is
over. Kakaru, who hasn't fired a shot yet is of course
concerned over Vegas' admittance of defeat. Vegas
explains that he had stopped building scvs. Kakaru is,
however able to convince him not to give up just yet.
They are both now pumping infantry units and preparing
for an attack. The smurfs however have their own plans.
They have developed a new type of invisible smurf. In
fact each protoss commander has 2 of these assassins
developed to strike fear into the hearts of the terran
commanders.
It is
working quite nicely for one of the terran commanders
who when kakaru asked if they should go, replies with
the two letters many a player has frantically typed to
his partner: "dt". However, with Kakaru's response "So?"
Johnny, who has built a missile turret just outside his
base near the natural, presumably to begin a missile
turret push across the map, decides that he will have to
trust his luck to the comsat. Both terran commanders
send out their infantry accompanied by a couple of
Vegas' scv's. As they head towards smurf teritory,
.PapaSmurf. has expaned to the 12:00 base inbetween the
two 'toss commanders' mains and .$peedySmurf. appears to
be expanding to his natural.
 |

Johnny_Vegas' troops arrive first consisting of
medics, marines, firebats and scvs and easily
start beating up on the 6 zealots and dragoon
stationed for defense outside of $peedy's base.
However, marines are mysteriously being turned
into red splotches on the map at the same time.
Then a comsat by UpgradedKakaru whose similair
blend of troops are right behind, remedies the
situation. However, as the troops push forward
and up the ramp and kakru tells Johnny that he
has the next comsat, 2 of Papa's dts start
swiping at marines and more red blotches appear.
When Kakaru orders Vegas to "SAT", Johnny's
response is "can't." Whether this is due to a
broken "s" key or his reluctance to reveal his
standardized test scores I still do not know.
Regardless, a blue fairy dust appears on the
scene shortly thereafter and the menace is
eliminated.

Without any more cloaked fiends to impede their
progress the terran forces move into the base
and promptly begin raping it. As they move,
Johnny makes sure to use his scv's to build
bunkers and turrets in Math.random() locations.
$peedy then manages to come up with one of the
lamer more confusing excuses I have heard,
saying someting about how he thought it was
2v2v2v2, before leaving the game. Papa then
tells his human opponents not to worry about $peedy and
hunkers down for a 2v1.

The terran
commanders decide, rather than destroying the now
neutral buildings, to try their luck with the remaining
protoss. However several well placed cannons at Papa's
expansion designed to slaughter marines as they cross
the bridge combined with the fear of those 'toss mass
infantry killers convince Team Human to hold off on the
attacks for a bit. These fears are not unfounded as
several freshly trained high templars are stationed
about the remaining smurf empire. Papa also expands to
his natural and constructs a stargate at his first
expansion. Meanwhile the terran commanders each begin
working on the production of tanks. They also each begin
an expansion at their natural and Kakaru expands again
to the base between them. Back outside of Papa's
expansion, Vegas who will henceforth be called bunker
boy builds two bunkers and loads them up with the
infantry that is still milling around outside the dead
protoss' base.
 |

The
terran commanders now each begin the slow and
incredibly abnoxious process known as the tank
push. Vegas begins next to his two bunkers outside of Papas first
expansion and pushes eastward, while Kakaru
seiges Papa's natural from the south. First the
12:00 expansion and then the natural fall as
tanks plow through the cannon, templar defense.
A couple of psionic storms are gotten off but
nothing it seems can stop the push. The stargate
at 12:00 is taken out before producing any
units. As a huge force of tanks and infantry
assembles in Papa's natural Vegas nukes the ramp
in the ultimate example of overkill.

Still
much of the infantry is lost as they try to run
up the ramp until tanks can finally get seiged
in Papa's base and end the templar threat. As
the two terrans push into the main, Papa fights
it to the very end. Vegas is building bunkers
everywhere though and locking down probes with
his bored ghosts. Kakaru admires Johnny's Math.random()
bunker strategy so much that he builds his own.
Papa's last gateway is finally taken down and
the game is won in favor of Team Human. Yeah
Humans!

Lessons Learned 1. Never sign a
contract without a lawer. Especially if you are little
and blue.
2. Don't give up just because your
cheese bunker strategy didn't work.
3. When
UpgradedKakaru says SAT, he means comsat not Scholastic
Apptitude Test.
4. Johnny_Vegas' real name is
bunker boy.
Lessons Not Quite Learned 1.
The best way to get a good rating is not making
fun of site administrators.
