I just jumped into this "Obs welcome" game, and it was neat.
The terrans argued over who would go nukes for fun, and seemed very very cocky.
While the zerg went early expand and protoss went 3 gate, the terrans teched awfully fast. Since the terrans simply blocked off their ramps, the zerg and protoss kinda tried to tech for drops. Next thing I knew, Waldo the Ghost was idling at Bob_The_Newt's ramp and a wraith was chasing ovies around.

A particularly uncooperative scanner had to be put down (1st kill of the game!)
With air superiority, Afk-X went turbonewbie and within 5 seconds, a nuke warning occured! Waldo had hidden the dot under an ovie...Drones < Nuke

All the terrans and observers laughed. A cloud shaped like a mushroom! How trippy.

Dark Templar ran around like they do sometimes.

Bob_The_Newt and Afk-X flew CC's to the islands because GameOverZ had lots of drones.
Drones > CC's.
Another targeting dot appeared on a hatchery which GameOverZ shot at with all of his mutas. Eventually the dot was killed by the mutas. Afk-X had air superiority again. Drones turned and viciously attacked a ghost who was nuking their ramp.
The drones must have had mass upgrades.

A cinematic air war erupted to determine who would control an unfinished bunker.
A dot appeared on ::nobody::'s natural. The probes shuffled to get away, but were hit by an EMP, which caused them to run back into the minerals...Nuke > Probes.

::nobody: retaliated by sending a mix of infantry to wherever the probes went, at the hands of Bob_The_Newt's SCVs.

Where's Waldo?

Wise Overlords met to discuss important matters pertaining to why they have legs and why Dark Templar need capes.
::nobody::'s natural was unavailable because Afk-X controlled the unfinished bunker.
Everyone's main went dry when I noticed that Afk-X never once made an addon to any of his CC's. This must have saved him enough to make the BCs. Seeing 7 BCs, GameOverZ naturally countered with 3 guardians, 4 Devourers, and 6 Scourge.

Why didnt it work?

Waldo has found the tree inscribed with Waldo + Wilma 4 ever. That bitch.

::nobody:: tried to kill the silo before the missle left.
GameOverZ dropped from the game unexpectedly.

::nobody:: was a good sport about it all.
I Learned:
It's cooler to see a nuke blow up 20 drones than it is to see a nuke kill 20 probes.
EMP doesnt work on Scourge.
']['HE_][V][AGE and shama(blaze)2 are happy to lecture you on why getting a chat-only
icon in SC is based on what time it is, rather than the connection bps.
Going almost straight nukes on Temple is possible if done right!
