They're.

Getting better.

But you still are needing to work on the flow of your writing.

A few pointers:
- Pick a verb tense and a perspective and stick with it. I'm not an anal-grammar-policeman but it disrupts the story when I read "I am now building this, and then you did something." Who's "HE"? Who's I and You, and etc...

- Did those 4 OLs drop something? First they're there, then they ran away, then you lost your ComSAT...maybe I'm just unclear on it.

- Don't start so many sentences with Well, Okay, So etc...

Keep on improving!

Actually if you look close at the BR picture at the bottom, the mysterious block, just happens to cover the amount of kills that hydralisk has.hmmm, accident?

I had to cut down on the image size.... he had 1 kill.

They dropped their cargo ( all hydras ) then retreated while facing irrdiate.

When I said ' I ' or ' he ' I thought it was clear who I meant.

Pretty nifty report, I have a hard time believing you made 100+ infantry from 6 barracks without anything happening in between... (one minute you were 1-1 with 6 barracks, the next minute you got 180 infantry and 3-3, so I guess that means you had 20 SCV's mining 3 expansions....)

Maybe your partner knows something I don't know, but why'd he upgrade shields first? That's gotta be the most useless upgrade (compared to the others atleast)... oh well, I suck

ops
it was 1-0-0.

And it was 130 infantry, and I had 50 scvs mining minerals.
About 20 patches in all.

Shields? Useless? Your saying its useless to upgrade a fully-repairable (and pretty damn fast to heal) amount of hp, usually about doubling the units hp? Thats just plain stupid fool. StupidStupidStupid.

</font><font color="#FF0000" size="2">Here's one thing I have to say. Suppose you have +3 shield upgrades. Now some unit is down to no shields. Every time 1 shield point is regenerated, it absorbs 4 damage. And those little shield points keep regenerating.
#15 Blank (163.hartford-13-14rs.ct.dial-access.att.net)[12050]
Ducky, shield upgrades FIRST, is a waste, IMO. They cost more (double) than the other upgrade, and have less of an impact in MOST situations. I was comparing the shield upgrade to the other 2 upgrades (attack/armor) which have more of an impact than shields do.

Just to clear up a few responses I'll probably get:

"Well, shields effect buildings too"

Well, all buildings have a natural armor of 1. By upgrading the shields once, your basically giving all buildings shields that 1 point of armor.

Shields also take full damage (IE, hydra's go through zealot shields like butter, and siegetanks eat up shields like they shouldn't even be there) and start with no base modifiers (where as zealots have base armor of 1, thus getting armor upgrade has more impact (sheilds would take 5 points of damage where as hitpoints would take 4)).

Of course it's not totally worthless to upgrades sheilds, but early on, when you have the option for armor/attack, I'd go for one of those (probably attack) first, if for nothing more than saving yourself 100-100 early on.

Try reading my post better before responding....

do dts still kill a marine in 1 swipe if u have armor upgrades?
#17 Blank (227.hartford-10-15rs.ct.dial-access.att.net)[12168]
Krebster, nope... DT's would do 39 points of damage to a marine with 1 armor.

The problem with that, though, is that most Toss players get the attack upgrade really early on (thus giving a +3 to attack to their DT's, negatating the armor's effect). That's why you should upgrade attack first when using terran infantry=]
