I think showing how far into the game each major event happened was a GREAT job.
Hell, nice job all around! |

| I decided to take the mindset of someone keeping score at a baseball game going in. To do this, I noted the time that things happened. I wanted to give the reader an idea of *when* things were happening. |

| Nice work... IMO, I think you went a little overboard with the times, especially in the second ten minutes of the game. I don't exactly when something happened, I just care about the order it happened in. However, I bet there are a lot of readers who do like to know the exact timing, especially those that time their BOs. Keep up the good work! |

This was a really good report if this was a first try you've got a great future ahead in this. I like the idea of putting times in the report it's good for orginazation of your thoughts. The only thing you might add is more of a discussion on people's tactics, that would be interesting On a side note I think i've figured out everything i need to, to write a battle report so you all may see some thing from me soon! Yaaaaa I can do screen shots. Anyway really nice report, keep at it.

| SFR plays regular SC right? If so that explains the lack of lurkers or medics. Good BR. |

Good report. I agree with CattleBruiser about the times... maybe there is a better way to do it.
2:00 - 3:00: Player one starts working on his Fleet Beacon so that he can pump Carriers from his 12 gates. Player two, meanwhile, has comstatted and spotted the 12 stargates just 2 minutes into the game. He counters by making six drones from his Command Center and sending them on the attack. ???
DFA, check out Mark4 and CattleBruiser's guides to reporting. Theres a guy, AQD3, who's getting 8.0s regularly with little or no HTML or graphics. You can upload pictures if they are under 50k without having a site of your own. Free graphics packages are available at various places online. Also, most of the raters have a code that tells them who clicks the banners the most, and they rate those reports higher.

| I liked it. I like it alot;-) The times were a nice touch, except that spot where you fast-forwarded and used about 6 of them inside 3 lines.=P All things considered, very well done! |

You know I thought about doing it like:
2:00-3:00 This and that happened here while that happened over there.
5:00-7:00 This happened here
Things I didn't like about it:
1. It clumps events together in a time period, but doesn't really tell you when they happened. I like to get the time down as a tool for newbies. They can time themselves and realize that if tehy aren't to this point by this time in the game, they are doing something wrong. I've heard people say the extra 5 secs to clone your peons to minerals at the start is huge, so the 2 minutes could be gigantic.
2. It loses the flow of an informal "story" and becomes more of a rigid report that I thought would be harder to get thru. I'd think people would see a bunch of numbers in a chart and get turned off.
3. I put in the paragraph of numbers, under the header "build-up", in lieu of a section on build orders.
Again I thought that this would better explain to a newbie where they should be at this stage of the game. |

The times are a great idea, although things got a little busy there...it's a little annoying to read a time every second word, but for the most part, it rocked.
Good job, & keep it up
Man, this is scaring me...sooo many good reports...I;m awe.
All the best,
