 Today, three players gathered together looking for a good day at the Ski Slopes. The three friends -- Iced-Tree, (T_N_O), and WOW!! -- headed up in their truck to the slopes. And when they got there each settled down in their own camp around a small valley. Iced TNO and WOW hit the slopes for a good day of skiing. But little did they know that a great snowstorm was coming... The storm hit the valley and now the three friends were SNOWBOUND! Dying of thirst and starvation, each of the friends turned on each other with savage rage. Soon two of the friends would be dead, and one would remain as... The King of the Slopes!
Each of the friends set up their camps, eager to gain control of the slopes for themselves. Iced-Tree set up his camp at the bottom middle of the Snowbound area, making a Supply Depot, a Refinery for the precious gas, another Supply Depot then a Command Center and Barracks to quickly expand his campground over the resort. WOW starts his camp at the top middle area. He starts his gas early, and follows it by a Pylon, Gateway, Cybernetics Core, Pylon, a Robotics and soon, Templar Archives. TNO sets up at the mid right camp ground and quickly makes an Overlord, Hatchery, Spawning Pool, and Extractor.
Iced moves his Command Center and Barracks to the Center of the resort to set up a second camp. He then gets a Barracks and Factory followed by 2 Starports at his main basecamp. WOW has finished his robotics tech tree and starts Ski-Lift (shuttle) production to get him around. TNO is eagar for blood and now gets his Lair, then Spire and 3rd Hatchery. Soon 5 Big-Ugly-Bird-a-lisks are in the air and set out to do some damage to his ex-friend, Iced-Tree.
When the Birdalisks arrive the find an almost undefended mining operation. Many of Iced's slave workers are slaughtered before some Helecopter Wraiths are called in and chase them off. WOW makes his move against his Green enemy, lifting a Reaver, Zealot and Dark Templar into the green campground. Wraith-Helecopters take out the Zealot and Reaver but the cunning Dark Templar eludes death until a scanner could be built at the now running Green expansion camp.
TNO and WOW see the need to match the number of campgrounds with their Iced, so they both expand their camps. WOW to the top left and TNO to the top right. Iced takes the momentary lull in action to rebuild his base. TNO techs to Hive and Greater Spire, seeking to catch his opponents off gaurd with the long range of the Gaurdian.
WOW sees the budding new Zerg expansion and sets out to do some damage. A Shuttle filled with a Dark Templar, High Templar, and Reaver head towards the camp ground. They find a few drones cooking hot dogs and playing cards and proceed to blast them away. But a control group of Mutalisks come in and hit the High Templar, killing it, but it still got off a storm which injured them. The reaver is able to escape in the damaged shuttle but the Dark Templar is hunted down and killed before it can finish the Hatchery. Iced expands to the bottom right.
Seeking revenge for the attack, TNO drops about 7 Overlords full of Cracklings on WOW's main base. Along with Muta support many dragoons and cannons are killed before the Storm and new reaver can destroy the remaining force and Corsairs can chase off the Mutalisks. Iced expands undetected again to the 9 o'clock main. He now has 3 starports and 2 armories upgrading ship weapons and armor. WOW also expands, he starts a Nexus at the right center of the resort.
But this doesn't go unnoticed by TNO however, and a Drone is quickly dropped in to wreak some of it's 5-Damage havok. A green SCV joins the fun, and all the workers sit down for a cup of Malt liquor and Crackers until a group of Marines come and end the fun.
6 Gaurdians and 6 Devouerers again assault the Blue camp. The Corsairs were near useless against the heavy armor of the Zerg fleet, but Storm did play an important role in the defeating of the Gaurdians. Storms weakened and the Dragoons finished off the Zerg attack. The Devouerers retreated, injured. TNO doesn't let up his attacks on WOW though, and another 6 Gaurdians make their way to the Blue expansion. Several Cannons and Goons are taken down, before 3 Templar arrive in a shuttle to put an end to the Gaurdians. The Devouerers once again retreat.
The SCV now constructs a Command Center while another SCV makes a Command Center at the bottom left, bringing Iced up to a total 6 campgrounds spread all over the snowy resort. BattleCruiser production begins in earnest as his three starports light up and begin to assemble the monstrosities. As soon as 6 BattleCruisers are prepared, they make their way to TNO's main camp on the left of the resort. Devs and Hydralisks engage the Cruisers, destroying one, injuring another and getting purple stuff all over the rest.
WOW attacks the mid right Terran base with 2 Dragoons which make the CC lift off and enable the Corsiars to detroy it. About 500 probes now long distance mine it, but their operations are cut short when the returning fleet of BattleCruisers and Wraiths kill all the probes. 3 Cruisers take storms and 1 is mass targeted by Corsairs, but none of them are destroyed.
After repairs are completed, Iced renews his campaign against his Zerg foe. 8 or so Battlecruisers attack, and with Irradiate are able to kill all Hydralisks and Devs. When Iced thinks it is clear, he retreats all but two of his BC to recieve repairs. The two BC are quickly destroyed by new Devs and Hydra. The fleet of BC returns and finishes all the Devs and all structures in the Zerg main and expansion (except an extractor). TNO concedes and askes for vision to watch the rest of the game.
Iced-Tree's victory fleet now sets in a course for blue top left. The mined out base soon falls as it is not supported by any units. Iced now sends in 3 BC from the left side of WOW's main camp, seeking to finish this war and claim the slopes for his own. But a quick stasis freezes the BC in place, and they are soon surrouned by Dragoons. As soon as the stasis wears off, the BC are shot down by a series of plasma fire.
WOW (for fun) now psi raids the last Green expansion, the one which Iced has maynarded ALL his SCVs to. The result is 6 unused mineral patches, 25% of Iced's supply freed, and a Templar with 43 kills. That was just kool.
Now Iced-Tree takes a less direct path to winning his dominance over his enemies. Slowly but surely, Iced is Yamatoing away at WOW's defenses. 1 by 1, every Dragoon, Cannon and Templar is blasted away. Once his forces are depleted, WOW commits suicide and is eliminated fromt the game, leaving Iced to finish off TNO. GG's are exchanged and Iced sends his BC to crush the last building of TNO. Yamato guns power up, and Irradiates cover the fleet, and in a burst of blood, TNO is no more. Go Iced! Hail Iced! King of the slopes!
I gotta get me one of them spiffy name pictures.
