Lifetime Rating for Stupendous_Man: 5.2857 |   | After chatting in nohunters for a while, mind_twist asked around for a game. I recognized the name from his BR's, so I accepted the challenge. Before reading further, you must realize that it was very late, and we had both been on bnet for a while.
Map: Lost Temple
Mind_Twist: Protoss(chosen), 3:00
Stupendous_Man(me): Terran(chosen), 12:00
Once we are in the game we start talking during early game.
Mind_Twist: You dont mind if I do stupid stuff, do you?
Stupendous_Man: Not a bit. I do stupid stuff too.
Mind_Twist: Then I shall rush you with my mighty probes.
Stupendous_Man: My valiant SCV's shall fight them off.
Mind_Twist: Hey, lets play a game where all we build are peons!!
Stupendous_Man: LOL, are you serious??
Mind_Twist: Yeah.
Stupendous_Man: Ok, sure.
Mind_Twist: Can we build defensive structures?
Stupendous_Man: NO!!!!!
Mind_Twist: Oh, yeah, I forgot yours takes marines.
After this inspiring dialog, we began our game of: PEON WARS!!!!
I start with a pretty standard peon war build, scouting with 7, going depot at 8, and then scvs. I am assuming that Mind_Twist is doing the same.
I get lucky and find him first try. My scv starts harassing his newly warped pylon. He chases it off with a probe, but then it comes back. He chases it off with a probe, but the pesky scv comes back. This happens a couple more times.
Next, I decide to go on the offensive. I send 12 of my 13 scvs to attack. The dreaded SCV RUSH!!!! I attack his base, and my scvs easily destroy all his probes.(Everybody knows Terran vs. Protoss Peon wars is Imbalanced).
As I start to destroy his nexus and last pylon, I realize that this is without a doubt the stupidest game of starcraft that could possibly exist. We exchange good games, and ally so that neither of our records is influenced by such a lame game.
Lessons learned:
1) Peon wars SUCK.
BUT
2) It does teach micromanaging. I micromanaged my scvs more than I have ever microed anything in any other game. I was constantly repairing, shift-queing, etc. If there is ever a dispute over who is better at microing, just make a game where both are terran, and each take 10 scvs to a neutral site and see who wins. :)
3) This is the dumbest battle report ever written, and it deserves a 1 (Or less, if possible).
