Hmmm, yes, I think a 3 IS in order.

Why not try next time? Your writing isn't bad. Apply yourself and you can get gold.

Well...um...I'll comment for real tomorrow, it's late. But for now, I agree with EE here, I think you could do well.

yes, try please. Lack of pics is really no problems, some text onlies can be really good. Your writing was good. The game was utterly horrible. If you had done this on a good game, it would not have taken that much more time, and you could have a decent report. =/

Yeah, the writing wasn't that bad... I think ya just need to actually try... = Anyway... Just search for BW replays and BR a good one. That or post something like this in the ~nohunters channel:

Uhhh oops, didn't mean for it to go on like that.... ;-P I made a boo-boo.

If you tried then the br could be better, your writing skills are better than mine. Next time pick a better game (and play one), don't br on very quick battles if there are no pics.

lol, thanks Praetor.

EE - I'd apply myself, only I don't have any good games of my own to report because I stink, and it seems wrong to be reporting on a game I can't play, lol

maareek - since you agree with EE, see the above comment. ^_^

Decay - yeah, yeah. I ought to be able to write, lol

Necro - the thread-stretching adds the only touch of class this BR'll ever get. ;)

RexRox - see above, I can't play a better game yet.

At least he got what he wanted right? Er well you were probably kidding but... Well whatever.

However noticing your last post, auther, I suggest you reevaluate your approach. I'm not that good at Starcraft. Zerg~Ling, and Eldritch cant vouch for that, but hey I still try when I write reports. I've gotten a few eights. The nine eludes my clumsy grasp but getting nines and tens is not whats important. You seem to focus too much on what your rating will be. You ask for a three, and therefore wrote a three. Next time don't necessarily ask for a 10, but act like thats what you're writing. What is important is simply entertaining, even if it is for a few, or even one. This report, I skimmed. I didn't read a damn line after "I want a three because thats what I feel this report will be." If you are just going to waste space I'm going to put you in a concentration camp (aka The Warsmith Bordello of highclass showgirls).

No Attempt, No Rating.

Reread my post and, it seemed a little hardass. Don't take it as a sign of that I don't think you've got potential, just that you need to try.
#12 maareek[149986]

Well, I personally have never written a report with the intention of it getting a 10. I don't think about the rating it'll get when I'm writing, just whether the readers will enjoy it. I mean, once it's written I can roughly tell what it's worth and what it will receive but that's not the driving force.

You don't need to be, well, even that terribly good at starcraft to do a br. Don't get me wrong, it's great to read a report by someone who knows what they're doing. But, it's not neccesary.

As far as getting a good game, if you can't play one (I have the same problem, all games I play well end under 10 minutes :(, and you normally can't do much with them when they come weeks apart), you can get lots of replays of good players. If you can't find any yourself, and see me on b.net, I'm sure I can be convinced to let you have one of the thousands I have...

All my reports have been written with the intention of getting a 10, although only one, my lastest, has achieved it.

All for it "seeming wrong" to write about someone else's game, do you also believe it to be wrong for a filmmaker to create a film about, say, the Royal Assassins of the Russians Tsars without actually having been a royal assassin for a russian tsar himself? Or, perhaps, is it ethically corrupt for a reporter to write an article about the Middle Eastern Terrorist Threat without having been a middle eastern terrorist?

Grab a couple replays and spend, oh, 2-4 hours writing one of them up. You can do it!

lol it gets so annoying to have to scroll to the right to read what you guys wrote. ;-) You can thank me for that. ^^

Yeah, because we could all use more broken pages -.-

So if you know you suck, why did you make a report about you sucking?

Your report = 2.0

If it was funny, it might have hit silver.

OH, GG!
