Like the new site! This report... Is ok. I got the funny feeling that we've seen it before. This BGH baloney (or bologna) is not worth the paper it is printed on (or the cyber space it takes up). Report on a different map next time please. Thanks. From old geezer to another, I lost to someone 20 years younger than me yesterday, can you believe it?
#7 Rychean (RIO-DHCP1870.mcit.com)[15866]
BGH = lame, dont play it and if you don't report on it. I have never seen a BGH BR get a descent rating and this report is no different. This report is on the lame side of average.

As far as expanding on it, they can bring in resources faster than the person that does not expand. Of course that is only true if they invest twice as much supply in workers, but that would be optimizing and expansion and most BGH players don't know how to do that.





#8 (HNW0511.RESNET-STUDE[15868]
Actually I think that this report is at least the best of all BGH reports.... Not that BGH reports are great tho.
#9 (relay.atinc.com)[15874]
Hey T.T.Boy... was that me? are you 45?

Even though this report was on BigGameHunters, I enjoyed the fresh perspective and good writing. I guess the choice of maps caused the 3.0 rating from someone. After all, we all hang out in a channel called NOHUNTERS.

I can't punish this guy for being a newbie and playing on a gay map... this was a good report! I gotta say a 5 or 6, given that BGH hunters kind of has to have a rating ceiling.

(yeah I'm a hypocrit... sue me)

Anyway, good job on the report.

The tram-ride home through the bleak, rainswept streets of Gothenburg (yup, that's in Sweden) will be a lot easier to bear today – YRM complemented my work! Naturally I'll choose to believe that the *only* reason for the overall low grade was the map itself (and perhaps to some extent my - for want of a better word - quality as a SC/BW player), and certainly not (heaven forfend!) my writing abilities...

But honestly; I know it was a crappy game from all sides (present company included). I just couldn't help myself reporting on it; I love the Game and to read BR's, so... Maybe I'll sniff around nohunters tonight and see who's up for letting me observe... Being on a Mac, I don't even have to ask for Pauses after 100 screen shots ;)

'Nuff said. Thanks for the straight-up feedback, gentlemen... I'll be seeing y'all...

I started wincing a lot when I read about your tactics. Yes, I understand you don't care about winning and so forth, but I personally find games to be fun when I try to play them well.
#12 Rumpelstiltskin (195.100.123.12)[15879]
Ohh, make no mistake: I *do* care about winning. In fact, sometimes I'm even a reeeeally sore loser (although that's not the reason I stop talking during games - my keyboard freezes, making it impossible to chat or macro...). Sadly, wanting to win has yet proved insufficient to actually winning :)

Simple truth: I just plain suck. But, as I all too often have occasion to say, "If I didn't suck so much, I'd beat the crap out of you..." ;)

Peace,

/Rump

I think that now with the new site the time has finally come for me to beg to be a rater again. Too bad I lost any chance I ever had and I'll never be a rater =[
#14 (ncache1.ford.com)[15919]
Good God YRM, do you think I have one foot in the grave?? No, I am NOT 45. While I did lose to you in that "fun" game on Winter Conquest, I am talking about the game that Bob the Newt and I lost in a 2 on 1 to (R)something, sorry I can't remember his name. But, he did inform me that he is 14, and proud that he soon will be turning 15.
#15 Alita99 (dhcp216-150.URel.Berkeley.EDU)[15947]
Well me boyos,

Ye sure not knowin' how to 'elcome new comers to these 'ere parts, don'cha know.
Me thinks y'all know how to best 'em BGH'ers, but we'd not 'ave the name of our channel,
be it not for the lot of 'em.

Show some kindness to 'em all when they come to visit. Offer 'em a wee bit of the creature.
Mebbe we'll turn 'em o'er to our side of thinkin'!

=)
#16 TheRubberDucky (dfiatx100-044.dsl.gtei.net)[15948]
Your funny Alita.

*pats Ducky on the head*
#18 (real.nauticom.net)[15957]
HEY!! I complimented this BigGayHunter idiot! He'll never know that I truly think... er... j/k

...heh... I meant what I said, it was well written. His idea to observe and report is excellent too...
#19 Strom (ext79.mosx.com)[16206]
Rumpelstiltskin: If you see a terran with wraiths then make corsairs (and observers) to go with your carriers. Corsairs build really quickly so don't occupy your stargate capacity for too long, and they crush wraiths.

Expanding is good because you can double your gas intake, and 20 probes at each of 2 expansions brings in minerals more quickly than 40 at one.

It also means that if someone crushes your main you still have a chance to rebuild.
#20 ~Blackout~ (proxy1.frmt1.sfba.home.com)[16424]
... umm ... umm ... that was totally newbie, and BGH reports are pretty weird...
#21 ~Blackout~ (proxy1.frmt1.sfba.home.com)[16425]

#22 ~Blackout~ (proxy1.frmt1.sfba.home.com)[16426]

These comments were probably written before they came out, but I thought that I'd point out that Drefsabs BGH strategy guide reports are on the best parts of this site........
