using paragraphs and html is preferrable as well.

I hope nobody else goes through the agony of reading this.

Its really that bad?

I thought it might be decent for a non-html text only, cuz the game itself owned, i guess not...

it sucked cuz u cant read shit if the whole report is in one big paragraph. try spliting it up next time and maybe others might read it too.

this report is not on "PAR" with anything. Maybe you should just fuck "A" sheep or something. I'm serious, these newbies dont listen. Do I have to make a "GRAPH" for you? "S"

and if the game was so "amazing" as you had said in the first sentence then make the br look amazing too. i mean, one huge paragraph with everything cramped up. grammar and spelling mistakes everywhere. if it was that "amazing" then make it look like it is. from here it just looks like another newbie game on BGH. ok? and describe things a lot better. i managed to read a bit, through straining eyes and you mentioned u didnt save a replay. if it was that "amazing" then you would have at least knew what was going on in your bases. (im sry, but if it was a 2v2 then your allies base too) the first reports, up until the patch 1.08 came out were all first-person. just my words of advice.

shit. i think i shouldve split this post into paragraphs too. =]

Yeah. As all of them said, paragraphs help make it move more smoothly for the reader. I'll give this a 4, simply because I'm a nice guy.. :)

Oh, and ling?? ya, paragraphs woulda been good in that post too.. :D

Try reading someone else's 1-paragraph report and see how far you get before you stop reading. Formatting is really really important. It helps the reader keep track of things. Just as importantly, it forces the author to organize his thoughts.

Haha... was this $$$??? "My partner goes 6 pylons then 8 gateway".
Wtf.
"I had 1 drone mining with one hatchery, then I sent in my mutas". Somfin like dat.
Wft.
Writing was... somewhat... decent I guess... no paragraphs...
Just throw in a few br tags. Color would be nice too, if u want to learn html just check out the guides.
:( and :)

My rule of thumb: I read a BR for 1/100th of the time it must of took to make it. I think I read this one for, oh, four seconds
#23 IcE-Inforcer[114052]
209.105.210.34
Kinda short but still good. Like Wrath said you should put more time and thought into it and it should be worth more.
At least if ur gonna make a fanfic make it have somfin to do with BW or W3 or whatever.

Unless it's like this: ttp://www.battlereports.com/viewreports.php?reportnum=4761

Why would you call yourself "I return"? :P

The reason you're getting flamed is because you really didn't seem to bother looking at other reports and at guides to have an idea of what to do—even if you did, it looks like you put no effort into presenting and making it interesting to your audience.

Why even bother writing that much text if you don't intend on making it reader-friendly and maybe comprehensible?

maybe he didnt know and he just wanted to express his excitement for the game...thatz all....give him a break. (and check out my new br...if it sux.....e-mail me smith@aol.com thx.

I felt that that the game itself and the details were ok. I dont know the guy, but i am sure that wherever he got his 3rd grade education... his former 3rd grade english teacher is wallowing in tears. I had the same problem in my 3rd grade class, and it had taken me 2 months of writing to instinctively make paragraphs. Nowandays, it is easier, as it is automatically done in a lot of cases.

As for the report itself, it had good content, but the structure and the design (or lack thereof) is definatly in need of some kind of (for lack of a better word) effort.?.?.?

Keep it up man! You'll get the gist of making BR's. I know i am.
