bald face lying

Pre-game
I'm sure all of you have never heard of
any of the players in this game, (or me, but that's besides the point), so let
me give you some information of them before we start. Just to tell you before
hand, this is a regular game of StarCraft, not Brood wars, and it's also on BGH. Also,
I have been told the text I use for the pictures is a little hard to read,
sorry, but I saved them as jpgs, so I couldn't edit the layers. I'm sure you'll
be able to figure it out.
Side note: There are lots of pictures, so if your your on something slow,
just sit tight and watch some TV as it loads. Thanks for you patients.
lawrusik- He
just started playing SC again for the first time in a long time, but he used to
be a good player way back when. Favorite race is toss, but goes for random like
everyone else in this game. His favorite tactic is the DT rush, but because
KallBroadfist didn't have SC, we won't be able to seem him try it out.
KallBroadfist- There
isn't much to say about him since I don't know him, but with a name like that,
how can he be bad? Plus he is french! Mind you there is nothing wrong with
french people, and if I thought so, I'd be living in the wrong place (Quebec).
He is also good friends with Carrijen.
Carrijan- Zerg
lover, has a slow build with every race, macro all the way.

And it's off
Everyone went random for this game, lawrusik
warping in with his favorite race (toss) at 6 o'clock, Carrijan
spawning at 9 o'clock
with zerg, also her preferred race, and KallBroadfist
landing down at 11 o'clock with
terran, obviously not happy with this.

He manages to set up one cannon for defense at his main, a lot of good
that will do.
lawrusik got a quick pylon and two gateways up before sending his
probe off to scout, and found Carrijan's base rather quickly. Finding her
to be zerg, and wanting to prevent any rushes, he quickly set up some
offensive cannons, and ran his first few zealots to her choke, leaving his
base defenseless except for a lone cannon.
|
KallBroadfist seemed a tad worried about a rush, but
this didn't stop him from making 4 supply depots and expanding to his natural
before building his first barracks.

Once he had finished his barracks, he started on two factories. Just incase
you are wondering, up to now he is the only one who hasn't scouted, and he never
actually did scout, even though I did see a com-stat or two.

As you can see on the mini map, I got a little board and landed my CC in the
middle of the map. I built one SVC with the 50 minerals I had left, wanting to
see how many mineral I could harvest before the end of the game.

|
While KallBroadfist kept turtling, lawrusik
decided it was time for
action. He sent two zealots into Carrijan's
base just as his cannons just
picked off a sunken. They managed to get into her mineral line and
do a fair amount of damage until she ran all her probes back towards her
sunkens, which in turn killed the zealots when they continued their assult
of the probes.
lawrusik tried this move again, not to long after, but those too creep colonies
you see in the picture had time to morph into sunkens, and his zealots
never made it through. She also started making some hydras (finally) just
incase he went to try anything like this again.
|
Now is when things started to get interesting. It all started with KallBroadfist
saying which is french slang for
'pourquoi', which
in turn, means' why'. When I asked him why he said that, he said Carrijan
had asked
him a question, but me and lawrusik didn't see it, meaning only one thing, she was AC
with him. My first thought was they were going to 2v1 him, but it was just a
thought, and didn't want to accuse people of cheating for such a minor thing. 
During this little argument of ours, I noticed that KallBroadfist
finally got his
first two tanks out, and seiged them next to his bunkers. He slowly made more of
them, along with some goliaths, and finally blew up two of his bunkers so he
could get all his stuff out if he ever wanted to attack. Carrijan
just sat there,
making a couple more hydras and a pair of lings, while making several
hatcheries. lawrusik, taking advantage of the
fact that Carrijan couldn't get out of her base, and that
KallBroadfist just sat in his
base making as many tanks as he could, expanded to the 7 o'clock position, and made a
robotics facility, started making some dropships. Once one dropship was done, he
sent it to Carrijan's base with 4 zealots, then, knowing he could easily drop,
did it again with 4 reavers.
.
lawrusik's zealot attack managed to take out 6
drones before some hydras killed them off. His reavers on the other hand,
do a lot more damage. Two of them die, but the others kill all of Carrijan's
hydras and lings, and takes out several hatcheries. Every time he went
close to the sunkens, his reavers would get hit by them, so he could only
take out all her hatcheries and most of her tech, but had to leave her in the game.
What he didn't know is she still had some drones hiding off to the side,
if he had killed them, it would have been over for her.

KallBroadfist finally does something, sending all his men
directly to lawrusik's base, pretty much taking him out of the
game. I never got a really good shot of the attack, but he had atleast 4 tanks,
a couple of goliaths, and a handful of marines, which easily took out lawrusik's
one measly cannon. Now
is when lawrusik started really bitching about them cheating, wondering why he didn't
attack Carrijan, considering she was right next to him (mind you he would have to go
through all those cannons first).
The
top picture there is KallBroadfist destroying
his own bunkers to get his men out.
When he is complaining, KallBroadfist tells him he will drop
Carrijan to make him happy.
Because of this, lawrusik loads his two reavers up, not wanting them to
die, and being his only two offensive units still alive. This
gave Carrijan the chance to make about 12 hyrdras and drop them at
lawrusik's expansion before KallBroadfist goes for his
drop on her. Luckly for lawrusik, he has been gathering quite a lot of
money from his expansion with nothing to spend it on, so has thrown up a good
number of cannons, which kill off the hydras with ease.
Then KallBroadfist goes for his move, but for some
"unexplainable" reason, his dropships manage to
fly right over Carrijan's spore colonies and hydras without getting hit once, and right
to lawrusik's base, where he drops two seige tanks and a bunch of marines.
With the help of his probes and some zealots out his newly warped gateway, he
manages to prevent any major damage from being done.
Now, after watching KallBroadfist's dropship fly over
Carrijan's base, I kinda knew they
were allied, I guess thats what you get when you play a ffa on melee, with two
people that are good friends. Well, if
you remember awhile back I started mining for fun? Well I lifted off and went to
the 3 o'clock position and made two bunkers and as many marines as I could to
help lawrusik out. Normally I wouldn't do this, but I knew this wouldn't turn the
tide , just piss KallBroadfist and Carrijan
off a little.
I was hoping they wouldn't see my marines as I marched them across the map to
lawrusik's base, but sadly they did, and then started accusing me of helping
lawrusik, and
since there was no one else in the game, it was hard to shift the blame to
someone else, but I tried my best.
Well, I made my marines useful by first gathering a bunch in lawrusik's base to
help him from the constant attacks of hydras, then I sent all the ones I made
and charged carrijan, knowing it wouldn't kill her, but curious on how much damage I could do with a bunch of 0-0 marines. You can see the my attack below, and probably guess the results, as everyone
knows sunkens > marines.
Well, with my attack done, and not even killing a sunken, it seemed over,
and well, it was over, but lawrusik really wasn't happy with what had gone on, and
expressed his opinion.
I don't know if these little comments made KallBroadfist
mad or something, but he
decided, that before some one leaves the game, he had to humiliate lawrusik
even more
by nuking lawrusik's outpost at Carrijan's choke.
And with that, the game was over. Carrijan
allied with the two of us
after the game, and after some bitching, so did KallBroadfist.
Postgame report
What did we learn this game? well, don't trust anyone, and,
espesially in a FFA where two of them are close friends, and make sure you have some defense at home. lawrusik would have won
if it was a 1v1, but with nothing in his base to protect him, he left the door
wide opened to be attacked. Make of this game what you well, I just hope you
enjoyed the BR, being the first one I ever post here, and first one I write in
about a year. (I did post one here a long long time ago, its a WarII report,
which got 4, search for JediMan84 to find it. Sad I tell you, sad).
