I see it all the time, it's the same thing..people are rarely happy with any report you see here, lol. You'll get bitched at for not color-coding names, going over every single detail, etc. So I'm going to just outline what you need to do to get a 10 so everyone will be happy :P (and to help relieve my boredom).

  • Don't do the report on mucho money maps/Temple.
  • Make sure you have a cool title pic.
  • Make sure you have alt text on ALL your images.
  • Make sure ALL your game-scene images are flashy collages of other images (including a mini-map pic) that all show something getting killed that have neato fadey borders and have color combinations that are "pleasing to the eye." :P
  • Write a paragragh or four at the beginning just talking about joining the game, the players' histories, or anything that happened before the game that is completely irrelevent to the game.
  • Show a picture of the map and show where all the players started, giving their names and their colors.
  • Player names must be color-coded and team-labeled (e.g.
HilbsTheFag[T2]) throughout the entire report.
  • Show screenshots of the players talking trash and/or discussing their plans at the beginning of the game.
  • Explain everyone's starting build order thoroughly.
  • Make sure you quote the players exactly or they will bitch. :P
  • Overuse the word "gay."
  • Make sure it's just the right font.
  • Make sure you use paragraphs for the entire report, not too long, not too short.
  • The game must be close.
  • Don't be too serious.
  • Don't be too humorous.
  • Don't put speech-bubbles in your pics.
  • Always hold hands and look both ways when you cross the street.
  • Oh yeah..don't forget the italic exclamations!! :D BTW don't take this seriously people, I'm not dissing anyone in particular, and this is actually halfway truth when you're writing reports. Text-only reports just don't cut it any more, you automatically get -4 points just for not having pictures and colored text..lol.

    Note: This was gonna be at least 2-3 times as long but I started it at like 1pm and read a buncha BR's and sites and now it is 4pm and I've lost all my ideas..but I still don't know any better than to still post it, so here it is. *waits for someone to delete it*

    Don't rate this.
