Welcome to my first BR. Reading the recent debate of NH vs. BGH, I decided to have some fun with these BGHers. I created the game "7v1 quick win!!" on BGH, and 5 random jabronies quickly joined. Me, yellow, and white chose terran, while blue, teal, and orange chose zerg.
We entered into the game with me taking top left, teal taking mid right, orange in top right, white in top mid, and blue in bottom mid. With bottom left and bottom right the only start points unoccupied, the red zerg computer was easily found at bottom left. While white called for "no rush", teal, blue and orange made their 6 ling rushes and headed for the comp. Unbeknownest to them, the comp made his own 6 pool rush and proceeded to smack down blue's 6 lings and head for his base. Teal and orange's zerglings started beating on the comp's base, while the comp killed off blue. To my delight, all attackers quickly withdrew to save blue, keeping the comp alive a little longer. During this time, I had built 3 raxes, gas, and an acad, preparing to mass m&m's, while yellow and white were apparently doing 1 rax rines.
Blue was saved, though he lost all his workers and his spawning pool. He asked the 2 attackers to guard him, which they did, further delaying the death of the comp, providing precious cover time for me to prepare. However, yellow's mighty 1 rax rines began to poke holes in the comp's hatchery, and combined with incoming support from orange, the comp was eliminated.
At this point, I've managed to mass about 2 squads of mnm. White started acting weird, saying, "you'll all have to kill me" and shit like that. Surely, his 12 marines and a bunker were no match for us. All the other 4 prepared to fight with white, calling for allied vic and the like. Seeing my opportunity, I unallied with everyone and began to kill white, who was also unallied. I quickly cut through his marines and bunker and tore down his main, facing individual vultures against my 2 squads of mnm. My sudden action seemed to confuse all the others, expecting white to be the backstabber. At the same time, I had built another contingent of marines, a factory, and started tanks. I sent the new mnm down to yellow, to finish off the last terran in the match. Though his marines may have been enough for the comp, they were not very helpful against me.
 With the 2 terrans down, I took my 2 armies of mnm and sent them to teal and orange. I've made 3 tanks, so I sent 2 to orange and 1 to teal. Orange was currently trying to break the world record for lings built in a game, but unfortunately these lings don't live long vs. mnm. Unfortunately for me, mnm doesn't live long vs. lurks and lings. My attack on orange was forced to stay sieged outside his base, containing any attacks.
 My attack on teal, however, was going much better. 8 rines, 2 meds, and 1 tank have broken through his defense cosisting of 6 lings, 2 sunks, and 3 muties.  This force went on to raze his base. Meanwhile, I had teched up to science vessels and reinforced my position outside of orange's main base. Also, I had sent an mnm rush down to blue, as he was sending out forces of lings that, while they accomplished nothing, were annoying. Scanning orange's defenses, I saw a large combination of lings, muties, hydras, sunks, and lurks. Realizing that pushing on him any further would be a waste of time, I started sending the bulk of my troops down to blue, hoping for an easy kill. First, I sent straight mnm with a tank.
 Though these easily cut through orange's leftover lings that were defending blue at the beginning, blue had amassed a very large army of hydralisks.  As my medics were busy running in circles instead of..uhh.. servicing the marines, blue's hydralisks had initial success in repelling my attack. However, seeing that he may break through and attack, I sent my contain forces at orange down to blue, which dispatched the remaining hydralisks and razed his base. This left orange as the sole survivor. After destroying blue, I looked up to my base and noticed the BGHers and decided to strike back. About 6 guardians and 4 muties were pounding away on my hapless marines.  All I had that could counter this attack was 2 sv's and 2 wraiths. To my surprise, this proved to be enough. A couple well placed irradiates killed 2 guards and weakened the others such that the marines (without medics) could defeat the remaining 4 guards.
After this attack, I rallied all my troops outside of orange's main. With SV support and about 3 squads of mnm, I charged in. Where the other 2 or 3 lurks went, I have no idea, but there was only small resistance from hydras, muties, sunks, and lings.  Not so surprisingly, orange disconnected when he realized he didn't have a chance. Expecting only to have to chase down floating terran buildings and extractors, I was surprised when I scanned bottom right and found a well-established yellow base. Hoping to root out this threat before it struck, I charged my mnm down. However, when they reached his choke, this is what I found:
Realizing that a direct attack would be hopeless, I began construction of dropships. Yellow was apparently pursuing mass cloaked wraiths. In my haste to destroy yellow's new base, I sent both my mnm's and my SVs down. While I managed to stop the mnm's from certain destruction, the SVs charged right into the base, dying to turrets lined up along his coast line. Turrets? No problem.  In my attack, I destroyed several depots, as well as his command center. However, his mass tanks were moved into range of my drop and eradicated it. Seeing that I would have to deal with his defense sooner or later, I decided to overpower it. I expanded to the 12 start position, and began gas mining, then went to get a drink. Coming back, I noticed that they still had accomplished nothing. I built 8 starports, a nuke silo, and 8 BCs. 
After crushing yellow's turtle de, some interesting dialogue ensued.
With all resistance crushed, I hunted down blue's remaining buildings. Using yellow to keep my loss account intact, I left the game. Here's the final scores:
I hope you enjoyed my first BR!
