Early Game:

      The game starts finding :+:Starduck:+: as terran with the 3 o'clock start. Microman is Zerg starting at 12 o'clock. While Skittles lands at 9 o'clock with Terran, and ~Jash~ comes out Zerg at 6 o'clock. All players builds are different, Jash triple Hatch - Pools, Microman double Hatches then expands while sunkening up his ramp and morphing gas, while Skittles goes double rax - gas then academy for mass infantry, and Starduck early expands with 1 rax. Jash makes the first offensive and sends a monkey load of Zerglings at the almost secured Teal natural. The Zerglings whack up a bunch of Marines and a Bunker, but a second bunker being repaired by an SCV kills off the last of the Zerglings. Jash now expands to his natural while continuing to build up Zerglings. Microman places a Hatchery in the center of the map.

Mid Game:
      Each player now has an expansion secured, and starts massing their respective armies. Jash is upgrading his Zerglings, Skittles is rallying his Medirines and Tanks, Microman is sunkening up the center of the map while massing his fleet of Mutalisks, and lonely Starduck is teching up to BattleCruisers. Microman also expands to his and 3 o'clocks mineral only nodes. Looking for some action, Skittles starts a gully siege between his and Jash's base. Jash sees this and quickly responds by morphing two Sunkens on his ledge. Without a spotter yet, the Tanks and Marines are forced to retreat, but walk right into a pile of Blue Cracklings. The left-over Cracklings charge into Skittles' natural, but only to prove the saying "Firebats in Bunkers > Zerglings." =] (Am I a lamer now Gizmo?) Starduck now Turbo Newbies Microman's natural but is squashed by Mutalisks.
The First 3 BattleCruisers make their appearance as they raze the 3 o'clock mineral only currently held by Microman. In retaliation, Microman hurls dozens of Gaurdians, Mutalisks, Devouerers, and Scourge at the Brown main base. Nearly a Third of the base is destroyed before the BattleCruisers prevailed, but the Devouerers and Scourge had taken their toll as half of the Brown fleet lay in smoldering ruin. Jash decides it a good time to really fux over Starduck, and attacks with Cracklings and a consuming Defiler. The BattleCruisers are near useless now, and Starduck is forced to lift-off half his base and run away. But with a still standing force of BattleCruisers, Starduck sets out to do some damage.

Late Game:       Starduck's forces take down the 12 mineral only, at about the same time Skittles takes his mineral only and starts blasting away at the 20 or so (!!) Sunken Colonies which have been placed in the middle of the map. Jash expands to his mineral only. Starduck sends his Veteran BattleCruisers to Skittles' natural, where they are promptly slaughtered by cloaked Wraiths. Jash now makes his move by sending in a force of Mutalisks / Devouerers/ Gaurdians / Scourge, but die horribly for not having Overlord support. A second offensive is made with Zerglings, this time doing substantially more damage, or if you prefer, "raping his back door." Super-gosu-cloning allows three Sci Vessels to be dropped from the sky, and it is a while before the offending Zerglings are shooed away. Skittles shows no mercy for the weak and now eats Starduck's last attempt at survival, his bottom right island expansion. Jash unloads another group of Zerglings on the Teal main, and proceeds to tear down every last supply depot in the base. A teal expansion is put up at the top left island, but proceeds to get razed by 12 Micromanian Hydralisks. Jash has no intention of letting up the pressure on Skittles. A final attack is made - this one of Mutalisks - which takes down the last structure in Skittles' main. Microman has been shoved out of the middle of the map, and expands to the 3 o'clock natural. Jash makes his final attack and exterminates Skittles' natural and mineral only. All that is left of him is a lone CC which floats to the top island. From here on out, only small attacks are made, as there is little money left on the map. Jash seems to be in control of the game right now, with Skittles rebuilding from 1 SCV, and Microman starting to mine from his only good expansion. A Mutalisk / Gaurdian attack is set up on the 3 o'clock natural, and even though Microman had darkswarm, it wasn't enough to stop the fleet. A small Zergling drop takes down most of Microman's main, being taken down finally by Hydra and new Zergling. Jash's small Gaurdian force takes out Microman's 12 natural, but a new base is put up at the bottom right island. A Zergling drop destroys most of the Terran island before most of the structures are lifted off, and Wraiths dispose of the Zerglings. Jash is trying desparately to get an expansion at the 3 o'clock main online, but constant lurker and wraith harrassment stop him from doing so. Microman has rebuilt all his tech into one cramped island, and now sends his force of Gaurdian / Devouerer / Muta to the 3 o'clock main. It is razed and taken over, but Wraiths come in and end the fun; destroying the Zerg air force and then proceeding to the bottom island. Tanks are dropped and blast away the colonies. Microman concedes the game and leaves. Jash sees his position hopeless as Teal is expanding and he is mined out. Congratulations Skittles.!
