Welcome to the latest [AsF]AzNSuNBoY report! Today I bring you a special report, one that's not on The Lost Temple!

A little background on this report, it was made in desparation after getting banned from eight games in a row, started from Saturday the 10th to Wednesday the 14th, including bans from almost every single game in SlingsNArrows's tourney :(. Also, I apologize about the weird graphic effects; I didn't try to add them, MS Paint just turned up the gay meter a few notches as I was doing the report. Now, I present the players...

Team Chilly_Drones:

  • Billy_Bones - Chose Protoss, got purple at bottom left.
  • Jilly_Jones - Randomed to Zerg, got white at top right.

Team Snake&Drake:

  • BlackAdder - Randomed to Zerg, got brown at bottom right.
  • -=wingedangel=- - Randomed to Terran, got teal at top left.

The Map: Brushfire :)

Early Game Builds and Encounters

Billy_Bones starts out with a pylon, followed by a gateway, assimilator, forge, a photon cannon, and a cybernetics core, opting for a safe tech rush.. Jilly_Jones goes spawning pool, hatchery, extractor, creep colony, creep colony, creep colony, probably intending to turtle. BlackAdder begins with a hatchery, spawning pool, hatchery extractor, apparently going three-hatch lings. -=wingedangel=-'s build is depot, barracks, depot, barracks, academy, refinery, which looks like an infantry rush.

-=wingedangel=- gets the ball rolling by announcing an early rush on Jilly_Jones, and moving out with about eight M&M. BlackAdder complies by sending a control group of zerglings. Whether by incident or by hack, Jilly_Jones sends a zergling scout just as Team Snake&Drake's forces arrive. Seeing this, he (I think it's a he) starts a lair and hydralisk den, and morphs all his creep colonies into sunkens. Billy_Bones adds a robotics facility and a robotics support bay, going for everybody's favorite; reavers.

Some of Jilly_Jones's zerglings had escaped the blockade, and now scout both of Team Snake&Drake's bases, revealing their build choices. Seeing this, -=wingedangel=- adds an engineering bay to probably start upgrades.

On the word, -=wingedangel=- charges in. The attack is almost a complete disaster, as he sent his marines on move to try to go around the bottom of the base undetected. However, the marines were intercepted by a few zerglings, which managed to kill a few marines before being dispatched. Discouraged, -=wingedangel=- retreated to the ramp.

The Chilly Drones Strike Back

After this skirmish, BlackAdder expanded to the mineral expansion near the bottom of the center of the map and morphs a lair. He also calls on -=wingedangel=- to expand, which he does to the top of the center after adding a factory and a machine shop to his constructions. Team Snake&Drake is content to sit back and siege Jilly_Jones in while taking the map.

Billy_Bones, however, will have none of this. Having completed his first reaver, he pops it in a shuttle and traverses the length of the map to Jilly_Jones's base. This proves to be the bane of Team Snake&Drake's forces, as the reaver triumphs over them with some nice micro by Billy_Bones. Meanwhile, both zerg players have started evolution chambers, and Jilly_Jones has finally teched to lurkers to help drive the Snake&Drake forces away.

As this strike ends, BlackAdder adds a spire, and -=wingedangel=- builds an extra factory. Billy_Bones drops an extra gateway, and Jilly_Jones just continues to build up hydralisks.

The brief respite is broken when Billy_Bones drops a reaver on BlackAdder's just-hatched expansion, and killing it after reinforcements arrive from home to stave off BlackAdder's help.

Now, Jilly_Jones decides to join in on the action going around the middle to hit -=wingedangel=-'s expansion from the left side. With help from BlackAdder, -=wingedangel=- is able to beat off the attack.

The Viper's Vengeance (and other short skirmishes)

BlackAdder hatches his first six mutalisks, and heads off to Billy_Bones's base. However, Billy_Bones is prepared, and drives them away with a couple dragoons.

Jilly_Jones responds by bringing in four of his lurkers around to the left side of -=wingedangel=-'s expansion and burrows them, while also sending in a control group of hydralisks from the right side.

As you can hopefully see, the attack fails miserably. However, Billy_Bones has another bag of tricks up his sleeve... as shown by a two-reaver drop on BlackAdder's main, decimating all the drones there.

Not all is lost for BlackAdder, however. After driving away the reavers with his mutalisks, he launches a counterattack of zerglings on Billy_Bones... which fails miserably. He lost about 24 zerglings while Billy_Bones lost some shield points on his zealots.

Meanwhile, -=wingedangel=- has constructed a starport. Now, Billy_Bones makes an astute observation:

UPGRADE UPDATE:

  • -=wingedangel=- :
  • BlackAdder :
  • Billy_Bones :
  • Jilly_Jones :

The Chilly_Drones try to Find new Homes

Team Snake&Drake immediately goes back to work, with BlackAdder sending another posse of zerglings at Billy_Bones, which are again slaughtered by a pair of reavers.

Now, Team Snake&Drake has decided to focus its attention on Jilly_Jones, to prevert him from getting guards. Unfortunately, he doesn't even have a spire or a queen's nest, so it wasn't very likely that he would get them anyway. Also, Billy_Bones drops a stargate and a citatel of Adun, and starts producing corsairs. -=wingedangel=- adds a pair of extra factory and prepares to siege Jilly_Jones.

In this period of buildup, BlackAdder is finally able to kill Billy_Bones' reavers, which have done quite a bit of damage. He actually does this by killing the shuttle, which dealt Billy_Bones a crushing blow in resources.

Now, -=wingedangel=- has finally set up a siege at Jilly_Jones's base, with six tanks and a handful of M&M. Jilly_Jones puts everything he has into trying to stop the blockade, doing a six-overlord drop right on top of it while also hitting it from the frontside. The tanks were protected well, and none were lost, but all of the infantry were killed. Jilly_Jones lost his entire force.

With Jilly_Jones temporarily contained, BlackAdder expands to the middle expansion.

Containing the Beast

Billy_Bones, moving to help break the blockade on Jilly_Jones, stumbles across BlackAdder's still-morphing central hatchery, and forces BlackAdder to cancel it. Billy_Bones also adds an extra stargate, and a fleet beacon, which I later found out was used to research Disruption Web. After eliminating BlackAdder's potential Center expansion, however, Billy_Bones finds his forces trapped between BlackAdder's reinforcement zerglings and -=wingedangel=-'s M&M and tanks coming in from the north. His troops fight valiantly, but are obliterated, with the exception of his corsairs.

As this is happening, Jilly_Jones takes another shot at breaking -=wingedangel=-'s blockade with lurkers, but fails as -=wingedangel=-'s troops have the support of multiple missile turrets.

By now, -=wingedangel=- has mined out his main. However, he doesn't maynard his SCVs to his expansion, probably because he didn't realize it :(. Jilly_Jones makes another attempt to break the blockade, this time by hitting it from behind with dropped zerglings, but is only partially successful, managing to kill a tank for 24 zerglings. Jilly_Jones also thwarts an attempted bunker push by -=wingedangel=-, but another attempted frontal assault with zerglings fails. During the commotion, BlackAdder retakes the central expansion.

Now, Billy_Bones is mad, and goes out for revenge. He sends about six corsairs to BlackAdder's base, taking out a few overlords and temporarily putting him out of commision while he tries to make more. BlackAdder wisely saves his mutas, knowing that they would be torn to shreds by the corsairs.

-=wingedangel=-'s siege has escalated, now using siege tanks to hit the interior of Jilly_Jones's base, taking out a hydralisk den, a spawning pool, and a pair of sunken colonies. Desparate, Jilly_Jones starts the morph of a spire.

The Fall of an Empire

Team Snake&Drake decides the time is ripe, and floods Jilly_Jones's base with M&M, tanks, zerglings, and mutalisks. Jilly_Jones knows all is lost for him, so he doesn't ask for help...

However, those attentive few of you may have noticed a blob of white in BlackAdder's base in the past minimap. It turns out that instead of going down quietly, Jilly_Jones has dropped four lurkers on BlackAdder's helpless base. Since all of his mutas were killed at Jilly_Jones's base by some of Billy_Bones's reinforcing corsairs, and his zerglings are ineffective, the lurkers manage to destroy almost the whole base. BlackAdder manages to catch on fast enough to send his drones away to his central expansion, but they are stopped and slaughtered on the way by a swarm of purple zealots. As for Jilly_Jones, he hangs on by a thread by expanding to the middle right island. Billy_Bones's zealots move on and finish off BlackAdder's main.

Now, -=wingedangel=- builds an extra command center to float to the middle left island, and Billy_Bones drops a probe off at the bottom middle island to expand there. Both Jilly_Jones and BlackAdder are content to try and rebuild their tech trees. -=wingedangel=- apologizes to BlackAdder for letting him die, but BlackAdder says .

-=wingedangel=- finally activates the SCVs at home, and transfers some to his current expansion and loads some up in a dropship to go to his future island expansion, which he promptly turrets up.

The End of it All

-=wingedangel=- now moves in for the kill, bringing about twelve tanks to Billy_Bones's base, while BlackAdder decides to end Jilly_Jones's misery by dropping twelve zerglings on his expansion. Billy_Bones barely saves the expansion with some downright horrible storming, losing four templar in the process. However, he is unable to save his own main, and with a "gg", leaves.

Scores and Stuff

Thanks for reading. The next day, when I told -=wingedangel=- about my MS Paint predicament, he said "What?? You use MS Paint? I use (Some expensive graphics program) and yours still look better!" Well, I must say that after this report, no they don't, as MS Paint sure blew a lot of... you know. Thanks again. Signing off, a la Bane,
