Map : Lost Temple
12:00 - Me (Who'sYoDaddy) / Terran White
3:00 - LoveHouse / Terran   Purple

    The story starts in the world of Battle.net, where I start a game called 1v1 bleh blah bleh in StarCraft original.  After a while of waiting, a person by the name of LoveHouse or something to that affect joins.  He/She has a record with a 6 to 1 ratio where I have my record of 22-3-2 from playing crappy people (not by my choice mind you) with my real life friend iGiNeST.  I've been playing StarCraft for about two months now and I know some good strategies, but I'm still rather bad.  I usually play Zerg in 1 on 1's due to the amount of mindless macroing it takes to win a zerg game, but after reading all of Heartcutter's report, and being awed by the bunkerless defense, Heavy Metal, and Deep Six, I've become one of  those trendy Terran wannabees.  After a while of reading reports on BR.com, I decide to report a game.  So, without further ado, I shall proceed with my report.

Let's Take a Look at the Map

    As you can see, both of us are quite closed to each other, and it would probably not be a good idea for either of us to build along our ledge on the side closest to our adversaries, unfortunately for me, LoveHouse could easily Turbo Newbie any expansion attempts of mine, but fortunately for me, I could use Sieges and an Ebay / ComSat for spotters should LoveHouse build near her cliff (her Refinery would also be in range).

  I begin with my standerd 8 Rax 9 depot + depot with whichever SCV finished their respective jobs first, successfully walling off my choke (LoveHouse had randomed) and giving me confidence in my ability to thwart any early Zealot or Zergling rush.  Once the second depot is done, I lift my Rax, send Terrel underneath, and put back down my Rax.  While Terrell is juking and jiving his way to his 1st destination (3:00), I throw up a refinery at 10 and start getting gas in lieu of my standard two factory build.  As Terrell nears his destination he spots some enemy buildings and high steps up the ramp as he sees a purple Deon starting a supply depot trying to wall off the choke.  Terrell stiff arms deons and breaks through for a touch down, successfully scouting his oppositions base, unfortunately for me, however, LoveHouse had already started a refinery and was making something from a factory.  As Terrell breaks tackles from other SCV's, I hastily start a factory and a Command Center, and see a red square emit from 3:00, I nail my space key twice and see Terrell at 4 hp, I get him out of there with an SCV chasing and run him to 6 o'clock, not wanting LoveHouse to know where I am, the attacking SCV's back off and I send Terrell back under the rax to start mining for me, wondering where the medics are and asking if he can have a spong bath, I tell Terrell medics haven't flown from earth yet, and with a loud stomp of the foot, he returns to work.

  While this was happening my Command Center finished, and I lifted it off hoping for an island expansion in the upper left, but that idea goes up in flames as an enemy wraith engages it up there, wraiths already? damn, I'm pretty far behind, I knew I should have stuck with Zerg.  Anyway, I contiue my build up with an Academy and Dual Starports, putting up a Com-Sat at the same time.  My plan is to pump marines set up a few bunkers, and expand to my natural.
 
 


 
 
 

I've sent out Terrell scouting in a vulture, but due to the immense amount of fear that this time LoveHouse will finish the job, he hides in a bush.
After this setback, Terrell finally starts scouting the expansions, and finds one at 9:00, unfortunately, his fears were right, and he dies to wraith, bunker, and Siege Tank fire.  R.I.P. Terrell.  After building some wraiths for protection, and pumping out barracks and marines, I try to build some Siege Tanks. Whoops.....
Unfortunately it was too little too late, and a control group of wraiths came flying in, taking out 3 of my 5 wraiths before I could cloak.  I was forced to use my marines to try to shut them down, but that didn't fair too well.
After destroying the last remnants of my marines, the Wraiths turned their vengeance upon my poor tanks :(
My troops were nothing but a few drips of blood and a lot of scraps of metal, my SCV's were nothing but little claws, so me and Terrell (in a dragoon suit) conceded the game.


 

If your reading this for a strat, beware!  No strats came from my side!  I'll play Zerg next time so I dont' suck so much :)  I wrote this to try to entertain the readers and if you were entertained please say so and tell me in the comments section!  Some of you may have noticed I used some other gimicks thought of by other reporters, and tried to put a twist on them (aka Terrell :p), I hope you guys don't have this stuff copyrighted.
