I am starting to like text-only reports more and more. Nicely done. Drop the fanfics and stick to BR.

What a breath of fresh air this was after your fanfics!

I thuroughly enjoyed this. It was great. Things like the line "blood curdling screams and a quick splash of blood signals the end of the terran offensive" are very nice - you are truly a good writer ( although yes, STOP THE FANFICS ).

The game seemed nice, and again this triggered a sense of nostaligia in me . . . I'll give it a hesitant 7, although others may rate it silver.

Good stuff.

7th on a Monty BR? YAY!

Ok...now that I said that, I'll comment on the BR. Monty, as much as we all love you(or tolerate you with a degree of irritability), you need to stop the fanfics. This BR is a great text-only. Keep it up!
(Oh, I need to see some BR's with pics sometime in the near future,plz. Maybe l]ag will grace us (Hint hint dag ^.^)
Ok, I'm done ranting. Solid 7. HTML would be an 8,tho :O

Quite good. It was clear what was going on all the time, and the game was not one-sided (although the early Terran attacks on the Zerg probably made the difference in the end).

Not half bad. I still like some of your fan-fics a little better, but that's just me. As a pretty much Zergy myself, I feel for Zeal... bah. /me smacks self in forehead. More lurkers and less hydras works better against Terrans for early game, but after they make the switch from flesh to metal, hydras and guards will USUALLY win the day, not to mention a few packs of cracklings to take care of ugly creatures and mop up buildings after everybody is dead, but then again, I am 90% dependent on Hydras w/out Lurk support, so against Terran Flesh I lose :(, ah well. Solid 6-7. Keep writing both BRs and fan-fic.

Peace,

P.S. Oh what the hell. T_Mac is gay

I originally skipped over this br on the "Recent Reports" thingy, because I thought "hey, it's Coalition part 243534536394084358937873298572938758935" Then, as i clicked "View Reports" to check out some old TFC reports, I noticed the title.

"WTF! A BR?!"

Once I read it, it was well written. No humor, no fancy supah html, no flash, old-school thing.

What was funny, though, at the end where "Game Over" was in capitals I nearly jumped out of my seat. Arcade reflex, y'know. Heheehhe.



#15 Jin Kazebari[100711]
61.165.91.130
Oh, and T_Mac is gay! JV is gay! Mark4 is gay! Fractal is gay! Drefsab is gay! They're all gay!

















....because they just read a br by Monty Pylon.





...please don't kill me. Please?
#16 Jin Kazebari[100712]

Oh, and "gay" is used as "happy" in my last post.

Good job Monty, I thoroughly enjoyed your writing the only downer in my opinion was the typos and just a thought but i like white text on black background i think it goes easier on the eyes. I loved your descriptiveness and now that i see text reports are coming back, i might join the flow and see what i can come up with, n e ways peace out.

-SS

P.S. Jin and Shadow are gay (j/k)

I liked this battle very much. The twist in power from zerg to terran. I wonder how the zerg would have fared with a couplke of science vessels and some supporting tanks to the bc's, the valks and the wraiths. ah, well they did won anyway.

Jin, no worries, I'll protect you! /me stands in front of jin until the gay peeps show up, then moves. MWAHAHAHAHA. Heh. T_Mac is the gayest there is, was, and ever will be.

Woooo... Monty takes the site record for most posts under a single name. True most are fic, but I'm still gonna count them.
#22 brc002[100759]

This was an enjoyable read. I liked the back and forth. Nice writing, nice descriptions and metaphors. I am very surprised that the zerg failed to quickly finish off the terran after destroying the terran main. Zerg should have scouted much better, just having a ling or lord at 12 would have alerted the zerg to the terran expansion attempt. He should never have let him rebuild. What was zerg doing while the terran had the time to put together a four dropship double turbo newbie?

you should only do text only if you're good at writing text, which you are not.

"Woooo... Monty takes the site record for most posts under a single name. True most are fic, but I'm still gonna count them."

god, you're sad.

Happy holidays to you and your family too Ana. No you see, its sad that you have taken it upon yourself to try and convince the world Im an asshole. You and your bitter feelings towards me are sad and I hope that one day you will reach a level of maturity beyond your current capacity. Please get a life and stay the hell out of mine you stupid and ignorant child.
#25 Ana[100868]

i'm not convincing anyone you're an asshole, you're too much of a pussy and don't have the vocabulary to do be an asshole. just informing the masses that you have no talent and write like shit while you try convince yourself otherwise. anyone who says "please get a life" while at the same time bragging about his record of most fanfics submitted under one name is a self diluted dumbshit, which you happen to be.

Hey Monty, I really liked this report. The back-and-forth was thrilling, especially when the Zerg defended by dropping lurkers on the tanks and vultures, and then struck back immediately. A great play all around! Of course, as someone else pointed out, the Zerg squandered this great advantage by having no scouts at 12:00, but oh well... that made the game more interesting in the long run. And Battlecruisers! How often does _that_ happen! What fun.

(more to say, read next several posts. Blasted 1000 character limit...)
#29 Prester John[101007]

Your writing was colorful and interesting, but hampered by grammatical mistakes. Example:

"Then in the silence, an eerie scream is heard across the battlefield. Scourge exploded across the hulls of the cruisers and the terran vessels ignite the sky with fire. Under the guard of scourge, the guardians cast their shadow across the terran base."

That's some darn good writing, or rather, it WOULD be darn good writing if you didn't change your verb tense twice. You start in present, go to past, and then back to present. It's very distracting, and in this case, it detracts from what is otherwise a fabulous bit of report writing.

#30 Prester John[101008]

I'm not a fan of your fanfic either, but don't get discouraged. Understand, I don't like any of the fanfic here, except for the ones (like some of Drefsab's) that aren't actually set in the Starcraft universe at all, or are set in them only in some Postmodern sense. I just think it's really hard to make a good short story based on a video game. A lot of good writing can be wasted on the attempt, because in the end, most of us readers feel like we're just reading a narrated game, only without the strategic overview that makes us want to read narrated games in the first place. I think maybe you've discovered a better use for your writing flair here: something with strategic overview _and_ some nice descriptive prose.

I enjoyed it much, and I hope you do more.

Hmm...I've been away for awhile. Did the position for the office of 'Needless Prick' suddenly open up? Because Ana seems to be bucking really hard for it.

And don't mind him, Monty. From someone who CAN write, I say you have some talent.

i agree with turtle here. No able bodied persons who choose to neglect the aspiring desires to create excellent fanfics or battle reports (such as those shown by u monty;) ) should have the gall to exuberantly and visciously attack such an obvious ( and successful) attempt at good writing. in laymans terms, if u cant write, then shut the hell up. Keep up the good writing monty!

(was my vocabulary at an acceptable level ana? because ur opinions mean so much to all of us. ;) )
