#1 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11096]
OMFG I actually made a SC br that turned out right! Everyone be happy now. Maybe I'll get the big 7.1!!!!! I think I should have atleast typed it myself, instead of holding a gun to my comps face...Bye now.
#2 Silent Strike (46.freehold-06-07rs.nj.dial-access.att.net)[11108]
Good report. Polaris Prime, If I remember correctly, is a 6 player 192x192 map.

Pool first on islands is good for a turbo muta build, as well as one hatch lurkers against terran on lan, still 9 pool is a better choice than 7. I don't know why mogalin made 2 depots before rax, he could have made went

8 depot
10 refinery
12 rax
15 depot
17 factory

which would have went a lot faster.

I liked the combo pic of the terran base, though it looked like ya were missing a few pieces :-).











#3 Von Doom (fridge1.volvo.se)[11118]
AWESOME!!!
Wow.. This was at YRM level!!
Now he압 got competition...
Well, MayB everyone else will flame Ya, but to hell with them!! I loved it!!!
Just the style I want to read!!

#4 Persian-POW (proxy1-external.rdc1.az.home.com)[11135]
OMFG, Ducky finally broke 7.0.
#5 Mark4 (strangers.bragg.army.mil)[11138]
At first I was very worried. This report is great. I mean, really great. Funny, reasonably well written, nice html. Then it hit me. "Nice html". And this is the first time it's being posted? Obviously written by an impostor. I don't have to promote Ducky to actual rater status because there's no way he could have written this =]
#6 Von Doom (fridge2.volvo.se)[11144]
Hey Ana..
Ur link does not work..
It comes to an empty comment section???
with no BR??
WTF??
I believe its Ducky..
He압 always been this good, just did앑t wanna do it to the maximum..

Way too goooo!


#7 Bob the Newt (242835hfc225.tampabay.rr.com)[11146]
Hey was it just me or were the pics really really fuzzy? Otherwise cool BR duck.
#8 Bob the Newt (242835hfc225.tampabay.rr.com)[11147]
BTW if anyone other than me uses ALT text again I'll kill them and their family >=)
#9 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11158]
Thanks everyone, WOOHOOO 8!!!!!!! 8.3 EVEN!!!! YaY somenoe gave me a 9!!!!! I think you have to mark. Now.
#10 Whoop (pool0040.cvx10-bradley.dialup.earthlink.net)[11161]
Good report. I like the little pop up messages. IN particular the one which showed said something like "why am i including this onee it shows nothing"

hehehe
#11 .Praetor (port-sac112.cwo.com)[11162]
I liked it, cept for the part about the medics.
#12 [5th]Krebster (spider-wl024.proxy.aol.com)[11167]
i think this BR deserves a 9 its good enough everyone knows it u know it i know it im gonna go lay off the drugs
/me is tired
bye
#13 Omnipresent (170.182.91.159)[11171]
Great report. The medics part was VERY tasteless, but overall nice job.
#14 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11174]
Oh shit. I thought I deleted that.
#15 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11175]
CAn I get that little part deleted? I think I accidently saved the html file <i>before</i> editing it to something different. Damn. Make me a rater! I think I've earned it =]
#16 Mark4 (strangers.bragg.army.mil)[11180]
I hereby promote TheRubberDucky to full honorary rater status. You may now rate reports. I'l also fix the medic part you pervert.
#17 <font color="#FF0000">Twip</font><font color="#333333"> (1Cust236.tnt4.cle1.da.u[11183]
<font color="#FF0000" size="2">Blah. I agree with Mark's first comment. This is someone else's work. ;D
#18 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11184]
Nope. Full TheRubberDucky work. I meana REAL rater mark4. Not an honarary one. I've gotten 3 out of 4 golds. in the last few days, and I've made more battlereport posts then anyone else in this group. So there.
#19 Von Doom (d3o943.telia.com)[11187]
Yeah mark4!
Make Duckling a rater!!
He seems to be able to give good and just ratings!!
(hey ducky if ya do become 1 remember my support.. heh)
I았e read his comments on BR압 and he압 got good points and ratings..
moo.
#20 Ana (s31.pm5.ovis.net)[11189]
Ack, Mark4 deleted the report that's why. If you wanna check out the zerg reunion pic<a href=http://members.aol.com/gizmotjr/anim.gif> here</a>
#21 Ana (s19.pm5.ovis.net)[11190]
Damn links gotta learn html again
<a href=http://members.aol.com/gizmotjr/anim2.gif>God I hope this works</a>
#22 Mark4 (strangers.bragg.army.mil)[11195]
Let's take a vote on it. Anyone who wants TRD to be a rater respond. Anyone who doesn't don't respond. I estimate we have over 1,000 readers. If we get 500 unique responses you're in.
#23 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11196]
Dammit. I don't have 500 computers to respond with. How bout say atleast half the ppl!
#24 Mark4 (strangers.bragg.army.mil)[11197]
Geez ducky, I already made you a rater. What more do you want?
#25 Rychean (RIO-DHCP1870.mcit.com)[11198]
Hey Ducky, your pics came out a little blurry like mine did on my previous report. I don't know what you are using but I have found that .gif for the final format works better. I convert my PCX screen shots to a BMP then edit, then convert to .gif. I found that when I convert to .jpg, they came out blurry especically if there is text involved. I am just a simple man using MS paint and Microsoft photo editor.(ya know the one that came with MS office). Anyay, just giving you a tip so they won't be as blurry next time. Nice BR BTW!!
#26 Pitt (res6486.student.nd.edu)[11199]
I want ducky to be a rater but can I be one too?
#27 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11200]
You made me an "honorary rater" I'm talking about rating reports, with teh gold, silver, and crap...err...bronze... I've been submitting pretty good reports for a while now, and I've posted some bullshit br's cuz I was pissed at bnet too, but I've gotten to the point where I think I deserve it. So there.
<i>The staff members have decided that a public ratings system is a bad idea. Instead we will elect a small number of "Report Reviewers" to rate reports. Basically we will let you be a report reviewer only if you have demonstrated good report writing ability. We apologize to all that were looking forward to rating reports, but we believe this new method is best for the quality of the site. </i> Have I not demonstrated good report writing abilities? Or do you want me to post a br every 6-7 days?

#28 Mark4 (strangers.bragg.army.mil)[11202]
If you want an open answer in a public forum, reply to this saying you do. I think this might be better discussed privately through email, but I'll let the means of debate be your call.
#29 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11203]
I guess it's something that will probabally get me shot or whatever...email will probabally be better place to discuss this. RubberDucky@hilarious.com
#30 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11204]
Only 2 more comments after this and this is the most I've ever gotten. But I suspect that this is the last comment
#31 Bob the Newt (242835hfc225.tampabay.rr.com)[11208]
Ducky can you repost this with images that aren't as fuzzy as my dog's underbelly? It would own then.
#32 Hawke (stj826.nf.sympatico.ca)[11209]
Im a rater cuz I said so mark4 has no power :)

i never write to my full potential.
#33 Savage']['eaCup<font size="1"> (proxy3-external.elcjn1.sdca.home.com)[11212]
<font size="9">OMFG!<font size="2">how can ducky be a rater? Sure he makes good reports but he'll give a 1.0 report a 6. =) what does making good reports have to do w/ knowing how to rate them well? d'oh. this will become br.com's downfall =) "a YRM report w/ the rating of 7.0 cuz everyone gave it a 10 and ducky gave it a 1.0 cuz he lost in that game and hates YRM. =)"
#34 SavTeaCup (proxy3-external.elcjn1.sdca.home.com)[11213]
btw Ana, that was a dumb picture =). no proof it was done in a real game 8'[ could have been done in star edit.
#35 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11217]
Nah. I don't hate anyone besisdes pr, and all his reports deserve 1.0's anyway.
#36 Ash (adsl-216-103-251-20.dsl.snfc21.pacbell.net)[11219]
Wow Ducky!! This was really good. I take back every mean thing I ever said about you. Funny, and decent pics too. I wish I'd had a chance to read that medic thing before Mark deleted it though. Oh well.
But there is one little problem with this report...."rip off the shields of a nearby protoss and through them to the bengalass." You should be slapped for spelling "throw" like that. Anyway, I give it an 8.3.
#37 Omnipresent (catvnet-116-96.catvnet.com)[11220]
We can be a rater if our reports our good? Hey all my reports gold, let me be a rater!! Never mind the fact that I haven't written a report in 5 years, that's not the point ;-<.....
#38 TotalDuckage (spider-pa011.proxy.aol.com)[11221]
haha
#39 Persian-POW (proxy2-external.rdc1.az.home.com)[11222]
Doh, Ducky got an 8.3, just like my last report. I guess I'll have to make another one. My only goal in life is to stay a step ahead of Ducky so this will be very satisfying.
#40 MikeyMonty (spider-wa063.proxy.aol.com)[11231]
I'm impressed Ducky. Cool report.
#41 Mr. Merf (dial-up218.twistedpair.net)[11232]
Odd, I seem to be the only one who didn't enjoy it. Maybe I've been reading too much today...hmmmm...

In case you wondered, I don't have any reason for not liking it. I just didn't.
#42 Mr. Merf (dial-up218.twistedpair.net)[11233]
BTW, was that 'Versus' thing at the top a scan of pasted magazine letters? It looked that way...
#43 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11236]
No. That is a font. It was supposed to look that way =]
#44 TheTeckMan (user-2ivec3b.dialup.mindspring.com)[11237]
Hey everyobyd I just wanted you all to know before ducky becomes a rater (and he should!!!!) that I once almost beat him it was cool...... Okay nm this report owned ducky ownz he should be a rater and so should I even though I sux at everything and tell me what the medic thing was on b.net sometime!!!!
#45 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11238]
I dont think you almost beat me. But then again that was before my mass tank strat as terran (which spawns off of the terran heavy metal, and can sometimes requires only having 1 maybe 2 of your rax hotkeyed

It works, and I tried it to end the game vs iplaythistomuch, I would've won if I wan't completely contained like the little whore I am.

<font color="#FF0000" size="2">I hate Rivalry. I hate people with the word "ducky" in their name. I hate Tanks. And I had 17 Gateways and I should've gotten more D-Web. All you idiots who think D-Web should be removed from the game, go play a Tank whore. Use Zealots, right? Oh wait, Terran have Medics now, so their infantry owns Zealots even more. Now STFU!!! That was really funny when I killed like 4-5 of your Tanks dropping Probes next to them and making them kill each other. Plus that other one where it got a good 6-7 SCV's and the Tank. Fun. :D Ducky = whore. Meow.
#47 Ana (spider-wi073.proxy.aol.com)[11256]
Actually Savage, that is an actual game i played vs. a friend but you are right about the patch, you can get the patch at www.campaigncreations.com, look for the emerald aspect. you can make units without supplies, like an unlimited army
#48 [5th]krebster (216.20.43.13)[11263]
that game was even more exciting when twip left for no reason cept the fact that he was about to get owned =]

err... n/m that made it a boring waste of time
#49 it was 18 gateways (216.20.43.13)[11265]
=]
#50 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11268]
Yes, dweb is perfectly fair imho, but I still think it lasts to long, and twip, you need about 12 sairs and dwebing all my tanks, not just the ones in front =] Dweb. Tanks > Toss infantry, they're just to damn slow.
#51 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11269]
Nooooooooooo It's no longer a 8 =[ Who rated it down? That soundslike someone gave it a 6!
#52 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11270]
haha everyone knows me! hehehe. I'm now more powerful than you could ever imagine!
#53 Alita99 (dhcp216-142.URel.Berkeley.EDU)[11275]
I dunno Ducky, Mark4...

The community of raters should only have 1 "black sheep." and that spot's already taken. If it has two, the sheep might start to multiply... =)

Now, if Ducky can turn his sights on the other sheep instead of Mark4...

=)
#54 DFA (12.8.134.194)[11279]
SOMEONE WANNA EXPLAIN THE MEDIC THING. I DIDN'T GET TO SEE IT BEFORE IT WAS REMOVED. CAN YOU POST THE PIC UP IN THE COMMENT SECTION SOMEONE..DUCKY..MARK ANYONE WHO HAS THE ABILITY=[ THANX I ENJOY TASTELESS THINGS. ESPECIALLY FROM TRD

DFA
#55 DFA (12.8.134.194)[11280]
Sorry about caps, i'm at work=[
#56 YourRoleModel (long comment) (relay.atinc.com)[11281]
Well I don't know if I'm for another rater... there are already a few bad apples who give me 9.0s instead of 10.0s.

=[

I just looked at the stats on the site though, and I'd say it's a great idea that so many people have put alot of effort into their latest reports. The site has had way over a million hits, probably 1.5 million... unless I am reading it wrong. And there have been nearly 70,000 completely different individuals causing those hits. Basically, I think that alot more people read here than actually post replies, and you can take joy in the fact that you're getting read by so many people.

On the days that Infoceptor or Starcraft.ORG posted links to my reports, daily hits have been over 20,000 and sometimes over 30,000.

This is cool because it means that supreme effort WITH results will be noticed. The more polished it is, the more people that will notice. My guess is, that if you are getting high gold scores, hundreds of people have read your report.

Rubber Ducky, if you want my advice on gaining priviledges, don't ask... just keep delivering the goods, and eventually someone will offer. I didn't even ask to become a rater, but they offered after the FFA report.

I appreciate the opportunity to entertain, and that's why I asked people to try to develop banner clicking habits. It takes so little effort, can be done every day, and helps to prove Mark4 wrong... and he hates being wrong. It seems that banner clicking has gone up about 500% since I started bitching at everyone about it, and for that, I thank you all, and will write the next FFA report... I hope I can live up to the high expectations that people have for it.

There is the cool possibility of Diablo reports when DII comes out... 4 vs 4 team duels and stuff. Ducky has shown that other games can be reported in entertaining fashion as well. This site is just a great hangout, and I hope that it continues to get support, because I simply love surfing here.

It's great to look down the page and see all the gold awarded reports... and they all truly deserve it. Write on fellow gamers! You are my role models.

Later.



#57 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11282]
Wow, I did that? Cool! I intend to write more non sc br's. I don't see how exactly a 4v4 team game for d2 in the areana would work. But it'd be interesting to try. =]

<font color="#FF0000" size="2">I thought I had 17 Gateways. Anyway Ducky, I never had more than 3 Corsairs at a time, and at that point 2 of them suicided chasing a goddamn Science Vessel. :o\ People can see a lot of gimmicks in action watching me, cuz I use them all the time (whether they work or not). Question: how do 4 Probes kill 5 Tanks? Answer: Load them into Shuttles, drop 1-at-a-time into 12 Tanks. Bahaha. The game had a lot to do with luck. More accurately, Ducky's good luck and my lack thereof. I sent the Shuttle right because I figured he thought I was heading left and was trying to hit my base...but he ran the Marines back and killed the Shuttle. :o( And then when he attacked my exp at 6:00 when I had 3 DT's...I was planning on sending them to top-left, at Ducky's DETECTIONLESS EXPANSION. Oh well. Luck. :D Only I know how to make Templar die like flies...the first assault was bloody. :o( OK, nobody knows what I'm talking about except Ducky and Krebster. LOL. Anyway...I left because my dad got back from Chicago and walked in the door and made me get off so we could leave. Meow. :o(
#59 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11287]
I NEVER had a detectionless exspansion, I only had 1 turret, and it wasn't in the right spot. Fortunately I had just started a sci vessel, I just had misplcade my rally point =[
#60 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11288]
BTW, about the gateways at your choke, I just thought of this, but you'd have been in a world of hurt had I dropped a nuke. Assuming I decided to take the other gas only exspansion (I swear, I never had more than 300 gas at anytime after I became total tank whorish, but I never had less than 3000 mins, needed more rax =[)
#61 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11291]
Now 2 people have given this a 9. Woohoo!!!! I think my next br (coming LATE tonight, will maybe get 1, or a 2)
#62 Alita99 @>---'---,----- (dhcp216-142.URel.Berkeley.EDU)[11294]
Ducky,

The only way you'd get a 1.0 is to do this with a report:

==================================================
A different map from the usual, the usual players. We [protoss] fought them [zerg/terran combo]. We lost.

Here's a pic:
(some broken link)
==================================================

The commenters will want to drop this kind of report into the negatives though. =)
#63 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11296]

#64 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11298]

BTW, i think this is the best report I've ever written. Even if I did it in 2 measely hours

So?
#68 Warphead (johnny.bath.ac.uk)[11310]
I just read this BR

10.0 for design

-50.0 for spelling =)

Hehe... Good job
#69 Slicer (ip109.portland11.or.pub-ip.psi.net)[11315]
And a -666 for grammar.

Did you fail English or did you learn ebonics instead? The pics were decent, but people who don't know the difference between they're, there, and their... GRR!
#70 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11321]
91% of people above the age of 35 don't know the diffence between they're, their, and there. I know the difference, I just suck at using it. I'll make sure to do the spelling right=] I now have DOUBLE the most comments I've ever had! Maybe I can get 100 comments withmy next report (I have psat in 3 weeks, so this may be my last br for a while =[)
#71 Slicer (ip166.portland11.or.pub-ip.psi.net)[11329]
TRD, if you actually need to worry about the PSAT... well, don't. First off, it doesn't count for shit anyway, and second, it's EASY AS HELL! Simple algebra and a cursory knowledge of writing (just read the good BRs) are all you need...
#72 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[11336]
Well, I know, but if I do sometyhing (I tend to ignore people that talk to me on the phone at 11pm at night about my eductaion) I get to do something else. Perhaps I should find out what.
