Oh, about the "Tag! You're it!!" thing in the title pic, the game was compared to a game of tag by someone.

Hmm...

My VBScript Popup seemed to work fine just then.

Anyway, heres what I think of the report.

Well written, and funny (I loved the lawyer joke).
Pretty good report.

The text was harder to read than some other fonts, and the interview was annoying to read, with it all centered.

All in all, I think it deserves either a 7, 8, or 9.

Good work !

But, be

1st serious guy-who-also-read-the report. It was a cool game! And a cool report too. I'd say 7.8-8.2 At one time the text seemed to went black for 2 lines, but thats a minor problem. The interview at the end was chaotic. You'd better not center that kinda things. Put all the names on 1 side and <tab> their comments in one line. If you know what I mean. Whatever. Nice job!

Funny stuff man, even more gosu than the first one! And you make it sound like I had no chance, as I recall, I had as many muties as he had zealots, and it was pretty even throughout. I want a rematch peons, and then I'll show you how to make a toss dance :)

Well done BR. Fun to read.

A few hopefully helpful ideas. Some of your description didn't seem to have a point. For example, you mentioned that zergie made a defiler's mound, but you didn't mention why it proved to be a non-factor. Its helpful for the reader if you connect all your descriptive writing of what happened to how the game turned out.

And, there were some details missing that might have helped understand why the game turned out as it did. Did either player have more workers than the other? Was zergie lacking in troops (as it seemed by how easily the toss rolled over his bases)? You might want to mention upgrade status if that was a factor in the game.

Summarizing the above comments into a unifying principle, it would make your reports stronger if you focused more on tying together your description into an analysis of why the game turned out the way it did. Beyond what attack proved to be the killing blow, what allowed that player to mass enough force to strike the killing blow without his opponent being able to counter? Micro errors by the opponent? Poor economy brought on by low worker count? By early raids reducing worker count? etc ...

Regarding the game, it was still pretty one-sided, at least by your description. I wasn't quite sure why zergie went heavy air against archons & temps. Why not just build a gazillion hydras and lings and upgrade them? Zergie built a defiler mound, but there's no mention of defilers doing anything useful. Did the mound come too late to help out? Why didn't zergie rally troops to his mineral only expansion early in the game if it was so vulnerable?

Also, the zerg seemed to have very little in the way of troops for having several expansions. Was there a low drone count behind that? Too few hatcheries? In addition, why were those guards hitting an assimilator at the toss expansion when they could have been killing probes?

As well, zergie made three sunkens at the mineral-only expansion at 6 o'clock, but they were placed *extremely* badly. Given the heavy zeal build of toss it would have been far better to put those sunkens right in the drone line so that the zeals would get confused trying to move through the drones to hit the sunkens. Then zergie can use the drones at the expansion to help kill the zeals.

Random thoughts. Despite some flaws this was a very good effort and, judging by your lifetime rating average to date you are making big strides forward in your writing / reporting skills. Look forward to your next BR. :)

Nice report Phoenix. As for who compared it to a game of tag, that was you, you asked me to put it in >). Nice job though, sounds like a great game. Good writing, 'interesting' interview... My only complaint is that I wanna see more stuff blowing up and guys getting killed. Gore shots in other words. >)

This BR owned
It deserves at least an 8
The writing flowed well
The descriptions were adequate and more than so at times
ALT TEXT OWNS
almost as much as terrans do:)
The font was wierd but cool
There was one place were the writing was black WTF was w/that?
Also as others have said the centered interview was hard to read
Centerd comments own, centered interviews don't
Why did the zerg have so few troops
He outnumbered the toss almost 2-1 in bases and yet he still lost

I built the mound, but I have no clue why, I never EVER made a defiler. :(

I had plenty of workers in my bases, except for 6 main and nat, cause those were just starting. I just didn't have enough hatches for my income. And at the time I didn't have a clue he was going mass archons! I deviated from my normal strat, and paid the price, oh well. And I did have a shitload of mutas :) Poor micro on my part, I had about a dozen ovies scattered about but never used them to scout for those last 2 pylons :(

Oh well, it wasn't one sided, phoenix was just rooting for the other side ;)

Sorry about some of the fucked up things...
I benged on that BR last night, finishing it at 5 AM, I then sat down on the couch to read and immediately fell asleep. =/
Sorry about that font though.
Also, it was sure as hell not one sided...
I dont se WTF anyone can get from that... And the mutas/zealots forces WERE evenly matched, but neither tried to stop the other from killing their stuff, for 5 minutes the game could've easily gone either way without a problem...
Then Kane- ran out of drones 8(
The ability to build and run that the probe has one that matchup.
And the upgrades were:
Kane 0/0/0
PeoNs 3/0/3

Much better this time around. I really like it. I am surprised that Toss didn't take another expansion. He had the ample forces to defend it. Ah well I aint that good anyway. I'll just rate it. Great Job!

Well, this report has already been analyzed in minute detail by other commenters. I won't reiterate what they said because I agree with most of it.

However, most of that stuff is not really that important as the game was very good and did seem close to me. It sounds to me like zergie just got a little too whorish and toss was able to attack before zergie's expansions started to pay off.

Anyway, good job and definitely worth the 8 that I am about to bestow upon it.

Cheers,
Dref

hmmm, nice one...

i did find some flaws that will keep you away from 9s....

there were a handful of spelling problems.... "areal" attacks, "preperations" just to mention a few... =]

hehe, you did mess up on html at one point also...

the pics were cool, but as probe said, the font was fugly..

and wth is wrong with the interview? i couldn't read it at all... if it was color-coded at least, it would have been SOOO much better.. and the alignment also...

oh well, preview button is your friend... much better tho..
