"Quotation from the Book of Eldritch;
'And the lord spake thusly; 'Thou shalt have a Carrier, and thou shalt destroy many. And in this holy baptism by fire, thou shalt freeth many souls of their unholy bondage to such evil cults as the Aurorans, the Polaris. Then, thou shalt be raised above all, to such heights as thou darest not dream.' And then EldritchEvil, cowering before the lord, spake thusly; 'Indeed, O Lord, I shalt do as thou asks. And many shalt fear my name.'

WARNING
The following br is really long. I mean,
REALLY LONG. So if you have some place to go or some life to live, i recommend
waiting for when you have about 45 hours to read through the whole thing. Also, try to get
some brain nourishment before reading this, because i know that if i would be reading it
i'd be completely lost and confused before the 3rd paragraph. So go masturbate or
something, and try to take a while, b/c this should be a bitch to load.
| | Intro
Hey again. After my last br, the
pathetic newbie 2v2, i knew it would be difficult to outdo myself, but i continued to obs
games, trying to get a qualityer (yes i know thats not a word) game to br. However, after
a couple days of wandering, observing :+:Maverick:+: and Activus! (who are both gods), i
decides to screw BRing good players, and just find a better game the lazy, stingy way. A
FFA! Yes, and not just a ffa. An ffa on a really big map. Like Bob's ffa, only gayer and
with more newbies and more pictures of Richard Simmons. Yes i know you didn't think that
would be possible, but trust me, this br achieves those goals quite nicely.
The story began during another night wasting my life away. I wasn't in NH at the time,
because of the fact that GayP~Taktiks with his AzN StYlE had banned me for calling him a gay asian
with a small cock. Anyway, i was stuck sitting in nwtr's channel, which i normally
wouldn't mind because in general the people are nicer and stuff there, but half the time
the god damn channel is empty. So i was on for a while, bored, until Pitt_the_Newt (Pitt)
and Bob_the_Newt, wandered in, Pitt actually being sober and Bob bitching about how gay
probey is. Eventually, i got the idea to do a ffa, so i got pitt and bob (had to bitch at
bob to NOT obs for once), along with Wrestler[FTL] (Wrestler) to join my game. Wrestler
got his friend, Infested~MxPx (Infested), and i whispered GameOverZ (GOZ) to join the game
too. I tried to get Mark4 to make this the true gayest game ever, but he was too busy
making sure that the newbie he was playing had it's head firmly up his ass. So after
bitching for a while, off we went ...
Sorry, no 4 pools on this
map
Map: Green Valleys
Players:
Going clockwise, starting at 12
Infested randoms to blue zerg at 2
Pitt
randoms to orange zerg at 3
GOZ
picks terran, gets purple at 4
Bob
randoms to yellow toss at 6
Wrestler
randoms to teal terran at 7
Alright, i'll try to make this a bit easier for 
ya'll to understand. I can never seem to follow FFA brs on maps like this, so ill simplify
it out. There are 2 zergs, 2 terrans, and a toss. Going clockwise from 12, it goes zerg,
zerg, terran, toss, terran. So the two zergs are on the right side of the map, and the two
terrans are on the south side of the map, with the toss, Bob, being shoved in between the
two terrans. Sorry folks, there's no one on the WEST SIIIEEEDE.
The build orders were as follows, again, going clockwise.
- Infested starts out with a hatch next to his first one, then gas, then ... hatch,
hatch, hatch, and then pool. Is it just me, or is he powering a LITTLE bit? He then
proceeds to power like a bitch even more, getting about 35 drones before his first
fighting units, some hydras.
- Pitt
goes with a much more sane build order, going hatch at his natural, then gas, then pool.
He then powers a bit, morphs his first hatch into a lair, and builds another hatch at his
main. He also expands to the most random spot he can find, the 12 o clock main, far away
from his main base. Once his lair finishes, he morphs a spire, going for mutas, a
good choice on such a huge map. He then expands AGAIN, taking another absurd spot, this
time the 9 o clock main. Boy, isn't Pitt balsy?
- GOZ
goes quick tech, going gas, rax, factory. He then expands to his natural, and builds dual
starports. He then does an interesting maneuvor (sp?), floating both of his starports onto
his cliff. He then starts pumping wraiths. He also bitches and whines a lot when Pitt reveals his
quick tech plans after being scouted with an ovie.
- Bob
does a quick expand strat, knowing that its practically impossible  for anyone to do anything to
stop that on such a huge map. He goes forge first (newbie), then gate. Being the newbie
bitch he is, Bob then cannons up his exp, warping in 5 of the mofos for D. And about 8
minutes into the game, he finally gets a core. He also decides to be even dirtier and more
malicious than i thought possible, killing a poor wandering bengalaas with a probe.
- Wrestler, like his fellow terran, GOZ, goes quick tech while powering at the same
time. He goes gas, rax, rax, factory, factory, and factory. He then starts pumping some
gosu vultures from his 3 facts while getting some marines from his rax's.
Yeah, there is a game being
played here
The first attack of the game is made by Wrestler. He tries
to be cute, and after scouting Bob's exp with a marine, decides to attack it with about 5 marines.
However, he completely underestimated both the vastness of the travel distance and the
gayness of Bob, and his marines were blasted into little bits by Bob's numerous
cannons. The attack was so pathetic, that it was not even worthy of one of the 90,000
pictures that i will have in this br.
Infested then decides to be even gayer than Bob and Tmac watching gay porno, and
announces that he has to be afk for several minutes so that  he can please his
parents and eat dinner. Although a bit annoyed, i say this is alright, and the players
agree not to attack him until he is back. Before he leaves, he masses as many hydras as he
can from his 5 hatches, probably numbering about 20 before he has to go. He also sends a
small group of hydras, 6 to be precise, to Pitt's 12 o clock main expansion, knowing this because he has an
overlord over the area.
This failure does not cause Wrestler to discontinue his offensive  mindset. He groups together
his speedy 6 vultures, and sets off to GOZ's base, where he had just scouted, knowing that GOZ had very few
troops due to the fact that he was teching. The vultures arrive at GOZ's natural
shortly, to find many an scv happily mining away. The vultures blast at a bunch of scvs
before GOZ gets smart and runs them back to his main while bringing up a couple
wraiths to deal with the pesky vultures.
Wrestler won't let the scvs run innocently away though, and chases after them into GOZ's main. There,
he runs into some wraiths and marines, and the fact that vultures can't attack air finally
catches up with the starcraft gods, and the burly vultures are beaten down by the wraiths,
with the help of some sacrificial marines. GOZ's economy was rather damaged though, as he lost several scvs
and had to transfer some around from base to base to avoid the scary vultures. The
vultures lay some mines too, with do just about next to nothing other than make some cool
sounds. Also, GOZ continues to have seizures while people talk about his plans.
I then took some time to see what the other players in the game were
doing. Pitt had finished teching to mutas,  and was making as many as his 2 gas geysers could afford him. He was also
constructing a queens nest, probably preparing for hive tech. Bob was being a bitch, and
teching to like, random things. He had gotten a citadel and a robo facility. Infested was
maybe not "afk", since i checked to his base and saw about 15 eggs morphing^^. I
then notice that the 6 hydras that Infested had sent to Pitt's 12 expansion a couple
minutes earlier have finally reached their destination. They begin firing upon the
hatchery, and continue to do so until killing it. Pitt sends several of his mutas
to deal with the intruders, but since his expansion was so far away from his main, the
mutas were unable to get there in time, despite how speedy they are.
Following this, i look back at Bob's base to see if i can finally see what his plan is. And again,
 i have no clue. He has 3 gates, 2 robo facs, and 2 observatorys. However, i
become relieved when he states his strat by saying it out loud. Meanwhile, Pitt has finished
his hive tech, and is already morphing a greater spire. Wrestler goes with his plan to be
as annoying as possible, and he starts using his vultures to mine off the other player's
choke points that lead to the middle. Wrestler then sends his vultures up to Infested's afk base, only to die
to a bunch of hydras pretty sadly.
My attention quickly becomes diverted away from Wrestler's idiocy when i see that
GOZ has
dropped Pitt's natural expansion with a dropship and  a half
full of marines, and 2 vultures. He also brings along a large wraith army of around 10.
Pitt's drones fall quickly, and GOZ begins firing upon the hatchery. Pitt's large amount of mutas that
were on the other side of the map killing Infested's hydras had finally arived at that
time. However, the wraiths numbered too many, and with the aid of the marines, the already
damaged mutalisks were toasted nicely within seconds.
GOZ
figures that he should now press his advantage and move onto Pitt's main base, located just to
the north of his expansion. He reloads up his infantry and vultures, 
and sends them a bit north with his wraiths as escorts. Once there, GOZ scouts a bit
with his wraiths, and finds a nydus canal. Knowing it's potential to bring in an assload
of zerg units, plus the fact that it was located on the outskirts of Pitt's base, making
it easy for wraiths to hit it while still having the cover of the high ground cliff, he
quickly kills it with his wraiths, and being the gay whore he is, rushes back onto the
high ground cliffs. After this thoughtful attack, Pitt shows his characteristics by
recklessly kamazaking about 10 scourge into the wraiths, killing all but 3. Lessons
learned? Tactical strategy is gay.
GOZ
is not discourged by this however, and drops his marines and vultures with his crapships
right behind Pitt's gas geyser. The infantry proceeds to commence the smacketh downeth upon Pitt,  killing some zerglings, an extractor, and Pitt's spire (not the greater
spire, a second spire for upgrades). However, GOZ's force was not destined to end Pitt's time on this map, as
Pitt's greater spire had just finished morphing at about that time. Guards were emminant,
and Pitt only needed 2 of them to get rid of GOZ's already injured force of marines and vultures. Unfortunately,
i don't have a pic of the pretty guards, because Bob is gay.
Cerebrate Civil War
While Pitt was dealing with GOZ, he also took
the time to expand to the 9 o clock natural, still giving him 2 expansions after his own
natural was killed -  the 9 main and 9 natural. Bob took the gas
expansion in the lower right corner (there are gas expansions on GV in all 4 corners),
fortifying it with an assload of cannons. Around this time Bob also does the first of many
storm drive byes on GOZ's main. 2 temps are loaded up into a shuttle, and dropped
behind GOZ's mineral line, where they release 2 vicious storms, killing several scvs. The
temps then move via land back to Bob's gas expansion in the corner. I also finally discover Bob's unit choice
this game - templar ... and cannons. Obviously Bob tried to make up the lack of
toss this game by being 5x as gay as the average toss.
At around this time, Infested finally gets back from being afk. I tell him to get his ass
back into this game asap, and he agrees.
A lull in action occurs as the players expand and build up their economies. Wrestler
finally expands around now, and picks his natural as a nice spot. He also begins massing
.... goliaths. God, what is with these Pitt wanna-bes? Pitt himself expands again to the 12 o clock natural, while
Infested takes the mineral only island expansion between himself at Pitt (sort of at
2:30), and his natural as well, knowing that he has to catch up on expansions fast. He
also begins massing a very large hydra/ling/lurker army. Bob takes another mineral only
island expansion, the one between him and Wrestler, at 6:30.
 Next
Bob decides to get revenge upon Wrestler for
"killing his shuttle", which i didn't even see, but ill trust Bob on that anyway.
So again, he loads up a shuttle with 2 templar, and drops them in back of Wrestler's peon
line in his main base. And of course, he drops em, hits t, la la la 9 scvs die. Fun. Wrestler expands to
the mineral only island north of his base during this time, kind of at 7:30
Following this, Wrestler decides that he needs to show of his shiney new goliath army,
so he attacks Pitt's 9 o clock natural after seeing that  Pitt had taken it with a scouting vulture. Pitt, knowing that it might be
attacked after the vulture had it's fun, proceeded to sunken up like a bitch, making 3 of
the suckers. Wrestler's manly 15 goliaths march into Pitt's territory proudly single file, and prove once and for all
that 15 goliaths > 3 sunkens. Pitt's economy wasn't too hurt however, because he simply maynarded
the drones that he had there to his 9 o clock main expansion. But his hatchery their fell,
bringing his expansion total down to 2 again.
Meanwhile, Bob expands again, this time to the other mineral only island expansion near
him at 5:30, bringing his exp total to 4! Hrm ... might as well have an expansion count
for all the players. Huk ...
Infested has 2
Pitt
has 2
GOZ has
1
Bob the
whore has 4
Wrestler
has 2
Okay back to the game. Pitt finally noticed Infested's island expansion that was located
close  to his main with a muta or two, and decided to put an end to it. He brought
his large mutalisk force up there, but Infested figured that this might happen, so he
loaded up some hydras into his happy upgraded ovies, and unloaded them on top of the
cliff. Unfortunately, he had far too few hydras to deal with Pitt's mutas, and the mutas
reigned very supreme. Pitt's mutas then moved on to finish off Infested's island
expansion, and did this easily, his mutas and 2 guards facing no resistance other than
some larva screaming for pity.
During this, Bob continues to try to be cute and do psi raids. He picks teal's natural, but
becomes a bit too ballsy when his shuttle flies almost directly over Wrestler's CC. The
templar drop successfully, but are stopped by a couple goliaths that Wrestler had on his
cliff for some reason. Actually, the sad part is that the 2 templar killed the 2 goliaths,
thanks to Wrestler's pathetic attempt at micro and bob pushing "t".
Infested had a ton of minerals, but obviously not much gas, because he was making a 
LOT of cracklings, but not many hydras. Because of this, he was only able to drop 12
hydras onto the cliff above his natural. He then makes a relativly poor decision to focus
fire on only the guardians. This allows Pitt's mutas to have potshots on the hydras, and although the hydras
were able to kill the 2 guardians, the mutas finished them off. Unfortunately for
Infested, Pitt had another 6 guards morphing in at that, so he didn't even reach his goal
of killing all of those damn guardians^^.
Pitt
then moves onto Infested's natural, preparing for the final blow. And it was easier than
expected, as the guards, using their superior range coupled with the high ground
advantage, were not even needed. The mutas themselves could have killed Infested's lone
expansion due to Infested's scarcity of gas. But here's a pretty picture anyway.
 While
Infested was going down, Bob continued to
pick fights with everyone with his gay templar. He was still trying to storm random things
that Wrestler has, and wound up in a completely retarded goliath vs templar battle. The
goliaths won, albeit injured, and Wrestler, confident in himself, proceeded to do his best kali
impersonation and act really tough to divert his own attention away from the fact that
he's a pathetic loser with no friends and a small penis who can only gain self confidence
through being a cocky jackass to others and making bs excuses when he gets owned every
game.
Pitt,
not really giving a damn if he lost one expansion or not, expands twice more, to the 12 o
clock main (again), and to a new spot, the 10 o clock main.  If these expansions are able to thrive, Pitt will have 4 expansions. GOZ has expanded to
the mineral only expansion north of his main, at 4:30. He has also amassed a formidable
force of wraiths and science vessles from his 4 starports. Bob continues to be gay and do
psi raids, this time getting GOZ's natural. Due to the fact that the naturals on Green Valleys
only have 4 mineral patches, his scvs were really clumped together, enabling Bob to get off 2
very effecient storms.
Wow, what's that gigantic blue line?
Oh thats right. Infested is certainly not going down easy. He decides to do one last
kamakazi against Pitt. He decides to seperate his huge amount of lings and scattered hydras into
2 groups, one to attack Pitt's main, and one to get Pitt's expansions in the 12 o
clock area. Normally this would be a great plan, but super gosu Pitt has constructed many nydus
canals that connect his main to his expansions. What followed was rather complicated, with
2 simultaneous battles being fought on the blood stained grounds of Green Valleys. So it
looks like it's time for another "enourmous picture to contribute to this thing's
bitch of a loading time".
Alright, now that you've scrolled down really far past that bitch, hopefully you should
be able to tell that Pitt was victorious on both sides of the battle. He won the battle
at his mostly because lings can't attack air, and won at the 12 natural expansion because
he used his nydus to transfer a superior number of lings there. Overall, Infested's attacks
upon Pitt did surprisingly little. They probably made Pitt wear out his nydus alot
though, which i guess is bad.
During this whole thing, Pitt had moved his guards and mutas to Infested's main to finish the
job. And this job was even easier than this last job, which was pretty easy as well. The
guards and mutas smacked around Infested's small number of  hydras, less
than 12 probably, and proceeded to mop up Infested's main. Infested did some annoying things to Pitt with his lurkers before his
main was razed completely, like kill alot of Pitt's drones at the 12 o clock natural, which really didn't affect Pitt too much since
he had a booming economy. Infested also did a little 5 lurker drop on Pitt's main, which killed a lot
of lings, but he was forced to ally when Pitt had him down to two buildings. So folks, we're down to 4,
with Infested being my new observer bitch.
Talk about gaseous balls ...
Alright, i hope ya'll have been able to follow me so far. If not, too bad bitch. I
worked my ass off and you still can't follow me? Damn retard.
During all this time, Bob has been quality building templar from like 6 gateways. He
has about 15 at this time!!  GOZ, with his large amount of SV's (6-8), and knowing that Bob is going power
temp, goes on a little irritate raid in various places in Bob's main and natural. This
produces a rather humerous sight. Have you ever seen temps and SV's battle? It's ... odd. Bob loses maybe 8
temps max, and GOZ loses about 2 SV's. Bob disobeyed his
"temp only" law when he morphed a couple of irritated temps into archons,
producing a huge puffy yellow ball.
You probably saw that huge orange line in the middle of the mini map. 
Obviously, that was Pitt, and he was sending a very large amount of lings at Bob in a pretty
kickass line dance. The lings, although doing one hell of a dance, turned out to be not
very effective at killing mass cannon/temp. In fact they killed just about 2 cannons. But
for Pitt,
this was nothing. He probably did it more to clean out supply than anything else! The
archon in the corner is another one of those cool green irritated archons that i put there
just, well, beacuse they look cool.
Pitt
follows up this complete failure with yet another one. He brings a large army of 9 guards
and  12 mutas down to GOZ's natural. However, GOZ is perfectly equipped to deal with such intruders. He first
brings in his SV's, and irritates 2 of the guardians. Then Pitt's mutas come in, and with
the help of many cloaked wraiths, along with more irritate, the mutas offer extremely
little resistance. Actually, it was more like no resistance, because apparently Pitt found out that
you need OVERLORDS to see cloaked wraiths. Hrmmm, maybe he has started taking lessons from
$uprimo.
Wrestler, seeing the trend of wasting tons of units for incredibly stupid or gay
reasons,  decides that it's his turn. So he promptly does another lovely line dance
with about 2 sets of goliaths, labombaing right into Bob's base. Infact, his dance was
so good that his 2 groups of goliaths were seperated into 2, each one an assload of ...
starcraft metric units away from another. Anyway, the first load of Goliaths did not
impress the templar with their dance, and promtly died to storm and cannons. The next one
did a little better job, succeeding in killing a cannon and an archon!
Damn, people are certainly getting too kamazaki happy.  Pitt continues his
trend to waste hoardes of units, as he follows up an equally pathetic attack with his
mutas and guards on GOZ's natural by following up by attacking with a bunch of
cracklings. The crack succeeds in killing GOZ's odd depot/wallin type of thing that he had in front of his
natural, but Pitt learns a valuable lesson when GOZ's hoardes of wraiths kill his lings with surprisingly no
casulties. Yes Pitt, zerglings can NOT attack air.
Pitt must be pretty piss drunk, because he STILL continues to waste units away.
His next attack is on Bob, with a mere few guards to the right of Bob's natural, using
the high ground advantage to take potshots at templar and cannons. What occurs next is
simply amazing. Bob uses the spell that brood war forgot, maelstrom!. And yes, i actually
spelled it right!
Gay Intermission!
Well, i hope you have been able to keep your brain in one peice during ths
time. If not, here's a recap:
Infested is .... dead. He has some overlords and a queen's nest
Pitt
is thriving. He has added a 5th expansion, getting the old island that Infested populated
before his death. He has probably around 10 hatcheries, still concentrating on mutas, but
doing a slow switch to hydraling.
GOZ
is certainly in the game with 2 running expansions. He is steadily massing his wraith/SV
fleet and is starting to work on BC's.
Bob
the fruit, although he is currently using the gayest strat ever invented, mass temps,
DA's, and cannons, it is paying off nicely. His turtling has helped him take the brunt of
many head on attacks, and he still has a dementedly retarded amount of temps and dark
archons.
Wrestler definately wins the $uprimo wanna be award. He is a pretty good player,
but his choice of strats is .... fucking stupid. The only reason i could see him going
mass gols is the immenent threat of mass carriers/bcs. Unfortunately for him, he has yet
to run into any of them yet.
Below is a really big picture of the map that i put in so those of you with cables
could easily see what was happening in relation to expansions and positions and such,
while those with 56k's could scream at their modem until it loads the damn thing up.
I'm too lazy to explain all of the things on there with more text and stuff, so ill
just do it down here. The minimap on there is currently on a bunch of Infested's units,  which are about to be
extreminated ala storm via Bob, which you will see in a second. The random orange dots are
stray zerglings and overlords, while the big group of orange dots directly west of the big
blue blob is a bunch of Pitt's overlords that he shoved somewhere random to get out of the
way. The teal dots are Wrestler's spider mines that have not been killed yet, and the 4 yellow
dots scattered to the left of Bob's base are probes (dont ask me why he put 4 probes on the
cliff, only he is gosu enough to know this), while the random yellow does around the map
are Bob's observers. GOZ's wraiths are due north of his natural, while he is apparently
having some minor scuffles at Bob's gas expansion in the lower right corner.
Now amuse yourself while looking at Bob's handywork on the remnents of Infested's army.
Oh yeah, there's a game going on
here
Another small ceasefire occurs. GOZ begins massing bcs, while Pitt officially switches to mass
hydra to counter GOZ's sv/wraith. Wrestler continues to be annoying 
and seiges up Bob's 6:30 island expansion with a single tank, which is ultimately fruitless,
because the tank moves into templar range and is stormed. Bob's archons wander around
random places on the map for a while, eventually running into Wrestler's large force of
goliaths, where one is killed, maybe because of the fact that psionic entities don't have
a brain. During this time, probably the most exciting battle occured when GOZ's wraiths found Pitt's random
overlord hiding spot. Some amusing explosions occured, with the familiar
"bluuuch" or whatever the hell it is sound that ovies make when they pop. The
wraiths then head due west, heading straight into Pitt's 12 o clock natural
expansion. The expansion, without any anti air, is brought down very easily, bringing Pitt down to 4
expansions.
 The game starts to get
particularly retarded now, when i randomly see 4 of
Bob's templar wandering around
inbetween GOZ's main and natural. A brave scv chases after them for a bit until GOZ commences the
irritation. Bob merges a couple into a really cool irritated archon again though, which
produces a humorous battle between it and a couple vultures
What followed was one of the coolest battles i have ever witnessed. Pitt brought a large
amount of hydras that he was easily able to make within a few minutes (35 - 40), along
with about 12 scourges there to help deal with the BC threat. The hydras rudely barge into
GOZ's
natural, quickly destroying many of the outlying buildings there, as well all of the scvs
mining, and GOZ's CC. GOZ, seeing this, quickly sends his BC's into action - 6 of them, to be
precise. Pitt's scourge get a little too anxious with their duties and are all destroyed
by the bcs without inflicting any damage at all. Pitt, not being attentive, then loses about 12 of his hydras, and
again, not inflicting much damage on the BCs at all. GOZ then does a fantastic
maneuvor, microing his bcs onto the left side of the cliff next to his natural, so that
the hydras have to fire their deadly spines upcliff, and so the bcs can use their superior
range to their advantage. And it begins working out fantastically for GOZ, as his BCs
absolutely rip apart Pitt's hydras, not losing one of their number.
That is, until Bob showed up.
Out of the blue, i see a strange orange spell being cast on the BC, and all of a
sudden, it's color turns yellow! Was this another defective programming bug by those
dunces at blizzard? No! It was the defective programming of Bob's mind that makes him like
other men! Yes, our wonderful friend Bob has more than shown his presence. He mind controls one ...
and then two bcs, running them away to the safetey of his dark archons and templar. The
templar there unleash their deadly storm upon the remaining bcs, and along with the aid of
Bob's
own bcs, he is able to rid them easily.
Even more complete chaos breaks out as Pitt begins carefully dropping his hydras onto the cliff where Bob's patchwork army
was. Despite this careful placement, the hydras were stormed into oblivion. They were,
however, able to kill Bob's traiterous BCs.
And for those of you who are just staring at the pretty pictures, here's a particularly
pretty picture to feast your eyes on.
However, despite all of these crazy happenings, Pitt was able to merely pump out
another 25 hydras out of his many hatcheries and pummel them once again  into GOZ's base. This time he gets into GOZ's main freely, where he
already finds GOZ floating his buildings away, obviously anticipating that this would
happen. Thus GOZ's main is gone, limiting him to only an island expansion north of his old
main and the 12:30 island mineral only, which he had taken during the past 5 minutes by
constructing a CC in the middle.Pitt takes this opportunity to expand AGAIN to the 12 natural,
probably for the 9th time.
Wrestler of course, has not died or anything. He has been quietly massing a large
but extremely impractical army of vultures, goliaths, and ghosts, and  finally makes
use of them, and he decides to find and kill all of Pitt's remaining expansions on
the left side of the map. He sets off half his army to the 9 o clock natural and main, and
the other half to the 10 o clock main. His troops slowly reach there, again, SINGLE FILE,
but this time it doesn't particularly matter, as the 2 bases that Wrestler runs into
first have very little defense, if any. Because of this, Wrestler quickly bowls over the 9
o clock natural, and slowly works off the 10 o clock main. The only expansion left out of
the 3 was Pitt's 9 o clock main. It was extremely heavily fortified, with over 6 sunkens.
Of course, this could have been taken out easily with some tanks, but Wrestler was a
stubborn idiot, and had to do it the tough way. So he barges in with about 18 goliaths, 4
ghosts, and 6 vultures. Somehow, his troops kill off Pitt's sunkens .... very slowly.
In fact, this whole sequence of events took quite a long time to happen. But in the end,
it was all the same - Pitt lost 3 expansions.
Keep in mind though, that Pitt has a nydus at every single functional expansion. This gosu
tactic works, because whenever one of his working expansions were to come under attack, he
would simply either slip his drones into the nydus back to the safetey of his main to go
somewhere else, or slip troops from his main into it to scare away the intruders. Up to
this point it has worked very well for Pitt, letting him keep a solid economy despite his expansions
being the target of many attacks.
 We will address that large orange line
in the last minimap in a second. But for now, let's watch
Bob have more fun storming and
stroming (get it?? get it??) Pitt's hydras. He cleans up the remaining hydras at GOZ's base with a
completely retarded 8 templar 8 dark archon drop. Pitt was actually loading the
hydras up into ovies to do a fairly large hydra drop on Bob's main, but alas, twas not to
be. But this was really cool with all the blood and the guts and the gladenhute and stuff.
Doing this complex drop may have stopped Pitt's drop, but it distracted Bob greatly from what was
happening at his natural. Yes, Pitt's drop  was merely part of a dual attack that was
also featuring a frontal. And right on que, tons of lings and a few scattered hydras
slammed unexpectedly into Bob's front door. Bob still had several cannons, an archon, and a few templar.
These smacked around over 30 lings, but more and more kept coming. Eventually, Bob's natural was
overrun, and the nexus was destroyed, along with, apparently, Bob's ovaries.
Pitt's mostly ling hydraling army marched into Pitt's main, to find a bunch of
templar and DA's.  Quickly, many lings are stromed and stormed,
but Pitt
continues to reinforce his army. Eventually, Bob has to resort to storming single lings ... not very
effecient, but it looked funny. The battle lasted quite a while, with 2 lings chasing
after a templar, another templar storming the first templar, a DA maelstroming 3 lings
while another DA maelstroms the first ling that was attacking the templar while another
templar storms that ling .... errr, just look at the pic.
Pitt
sends another, smaller, more concentrated wave of lings after this, which were easily
stormed. Thus Bob's main survived, but he only had 2 gates left, and he lost his natural
(although it was dry).
Now go to Part 2!! Grrr ...
