FFA on Ladder, these games may not be seen often but they are true, these are some of the cheesy strategies to win:

first, be the pussy of the game and,
wait until 2other players are dead and make yer move on the last hurt player, resulting in a win, hey it's a win right?

or, the hard fought way and,
kill at least 2of the players and contain the others to keep them in while you kill one of the players, moving on expanding and taking the map to outresource the others, resulting in a guaranteed win

MOVING ON....

MAP:
Lost Temple (surprise!)

PLAYERS:
BROWN - newbs terran 9
PURPLE - in zerg 12
TEAL - pubby toss 6
ORANGE -me zerg 3

EARLY ON...
being the only terran in the game, brown has a good start, if teal can get psi storm and dragoons before brown gets sci ves and tanks, he can take the game and the zerg will fall from the psi storm, yet this is not how it happens, all players start cloning their peons and go for tech, exept for teal on the other hand..

i decide im going to muta rush one of these newbs.. i get my team of 6mutas and head for south, finding cannons in the front line, takin som pain, i back up and go from behind, soon enough, i take out his mineral line, his nexus, and his gateway until he leaves. ONE PLAYER DOWN...

i get 24 hydras, zerglings, some mutalisks, 2guardians, and head for 12... purple.. i expected him to be ez.. I WAS WRONG. he had about 12 lurks scattered around his main and natural, and had overlords and scourges everywhere he put lings, hydras and all that stuff to defend... i knew he was going to be hard to take down. in this game, i would hafto control his air with my own scourges, and control mutas to target his drones and micro the scourges, which is what i did. soon enough all he had left was a hive, 2hatcheries, and an extractor in his main, with my 5beaten hydras and 2guardians, he leaves with nothing to lose but a lower rating.

MID GAME
now for brown.. that bastard sat through the game, which is the first damned cheesy strat he uses... i look at his base and it is consisted of main, 6starports, natural, and in his min only, he did not expand, instead he put firebat/medic and tanks for defense, i figuire i will use guardians and scourges on him, but with 12 wraiths (omg.. he sat with 12 wraiths the whole game?) he takes down my scourges and i back up with hydras and mutas, damn i forgot his tanks were there all my hydras go down with the firebats taking them down. by now i have taken the 6natural and after i recollect my men at my base, i hear those dreaded words, YOUR BASE IS UNDER ATTACK!!! i hit space and find those firebat attacking at the helpless hatchery and 12 drones. by now i've dried out my main and i see about 30 drones sitting there, moving around to find their spot. i move them all to my natural and attempt to expand, which was denied by 12cloaked wraiths.

LATE GAME
by now, he has his 12 cloaked wraiths and he takes down his ovies, he uncloaks them and fights my hydras with micro running in and out with cloak n uncloak, this bastard was good at waiting and doing nothing but pretty damn good at micro, by now i have a couple blocks of 200 minerals in my natural, and i hear tanks, damn his 6tanks from his defense start attacking my defenseless base as i hear the 12wraiths shooting away at my hatcheries and tech buildings.. i had lost the game by a damned rook, if u put it.

AFTERTHOUGHTS
i should've taken down purp down early and then brown, teal was the worst player and i could've easily taken him with guardians and mutas wid some scourges, all he had was 6cannons not even by his ramp, and i couldve sneaked some drones in to build hatcheries and build sunkens to raid his base. but i didn't do it.

overall, it was ok cuz it was my 6th ladder game, i dont know, next time if i find this bastard, i'll kill him first. i dont care if the others kill me, i will kill this bastard! GG
