Hmmm....
The html screwed up a little, but not bad. And the pics aren't as good as i hoped, but thats understandable with it being my first time on this program, right? Anyways, i'm satisfies with it, for my first HTML try anyway. I'll try to make better ones in the future. Hope you enjoyed! :)

Pretty good, fuzzy pictures though. You need a new photo editor. Game was cool.

Damn good report!!! Great pictures, great writing. 8-9 from me. Next time use colors that look good on black. X-person's name was illegible.

Niiiiiiice report there, Decay. Pics were all right, if a bit fuzzy and (except for the beginning and end) small. Writing was good, you actually used alt-text (and used it well). Game was good, even if I expected Xaanix to play better (who the hell sends an entire army to kill a Nexus? Who even sees a naked Nexus set up by a legendarily good player and doesn't assume it's a diversion?) Nice to see Zileas kick major ass again, though.

8.5

Same comment than above : fuzzy pics, strange borders, blue is as hard to see on black than brown, slightly one-sided game ... But GW anyway.
#15 IBashar[123729]

... and no minimaps. Not cool.

Please spellcheck your reports before submitting them. There are several sentences in this report that make me think you never read this twice; if you're going to but in that much effort (it was a lot of effort - a long game with a lot of pictures), then you should at least ensure that your spelling and grammar are correct. There were very few, but they still impacted the overall effect. It's so annoying to see a long report get spoiled by spelling and grammar mistakes.

Also, sometimes you skipped over parts of game left me confused. I think you assumed people knew what was going on, but I was left behind. You said Xaanix quick expanded, but in the build orders, Zileas has a Nexus on 15, and Xaanix doesn't have one after 20 supply and a Robotics Factory. Did you switch the build orders, or just never mention Zileas' expansion?

If you fix grammar and spelling, and add minimaps to clear up small points of confusion, you should easily get a 9-10.

Good job.

oh, and with the pictures, try to pick a central theme instead of showing off 1337 photoshop skillz, makes it look more professional

Thx everyone. Like I said, it was my first real HTML attempt. I was just kind of eager to see what people would say, so that's where the spelling mistakes come in. :/ But now that I know what in the hell I'm doing, you can expect more from me =D.

Nice report. 8-9/10 (particularly well themed, as I just killed some pubbies with reaver micro about 10 mins previously. My findings were: Reavers > Lings. Reavers > Stupid Toss Players Who Don't Run Their Peons.)

Pretty good. pics covered text a few times though, and they were fuzzy. Halfway through I lost interest in it though, sorry. But there wasnt a lot of humor, adn humor is what holds my attention.

But I did look at the pics and it seemed like the game ended well.

I wanted to read it but it was too wide. Make a un-widescreen version and I'll happily munch doritos and marvel at your masterpiece.

Sorry Palisade, I'll tone the pics down a bit next time. :/

my only beef is the lack of minimaps. Dunno if im just weird but i have a difficult time getting myself into a br if i have to symbolize the map positions in my mind from text, especially in the later stages of the game if theres anything close to good map control.
anyways, nice job. make next with plenty o purty minimap collages. make it soon.

Holy shit, where did the ratings come from? This has been here for 4 days now and didn't get rated, and now it's gotten two in the last hour. Yikes! BTW who gave me a ten? Jeez, thx!

Haven't read the comments, dunno if someone said this b4.
The pics were crap. Granted, some of the weird shapes with an explosion at a nice spot looked ace, but generally the ugly borders messed it all up. Try spending a few minutes defining the "style" for the report, and then using that setup on ALL your, that looks so much more professional.

And btw this is the second time in a week someone gave a ten by mistake. (I'd say ppl would leave a comment when giving a 10). Thats not very gosu.

Anyway, get War3 and I'll be a happy report reader.

Probably someone gave a 10 by mistake, then gave a 7 so that it averaged out to a reasonable rating.

I liked the report. There was enough info to get a reasonable perspective of most of the battles and other events. Your observations also gave great insight as to why some things did or didn't work/were or weren't happening (e.g. "The Templar waiting amidst the probes was of no help, as Psi Storm was not yet done researching.")

The "Lessons learned" at the end are also appreciated. I would just like to add, along with your #5. Scout! that it was surprising to see Xaanix take so long to find the naked enemy expansion right above his (Xaanix's) troops' rally point.

I'm curious about whether you had interviewed either of the players. Some of the descriptives used (e.g. "Infuriated, Xaanix . . . Zileas, fearing . . . etc.) imply that the players were in fact motivated to act as they did, according to how they were feeling.

All in all it was a good report and I look forward to reading more of your submissions.

Blah...
Game was not that great. Let's just skip to the inevitable and refer to all peons as "maynards". I thought peons were cloned at the beginning....

dialup-65.57.2.20.Dial1.Cincinnati1.Level3.net
Is there a replay of this? I've never seen a replay of Zileas.. and I want to. :\

*tries the search again*
#42 Twip[124508]
dialup-65.57.2.20.Dial1.Cincinnati1.Level3.net
I found two, I hope they're legit ;| but I guess I found this game's replay..

Anyone know if there are more replays of Zileas anywhere?

Oh hell, I should just ask him.
#43 Twip[124525]
dialup-65.57.3.146.Dial1.Cincinnati1.Level3.net
Holy shit that isn't Zileas.

Or Xaanix.

Unless both of them were stoned while playing.
