Lifetime Rating for TheRubberDucky: 6.8316 | | I logged onto battle.net this afternoon to see if I could get a 2on2 started. I went into nohunters asking around, some guy named [TD]Rikus (who tha heck is that?) accused me of ladder abuse, most of my wins are from newbies, and (sigh) he started whispering a bunch of trash talk to me. He got offline and really pissed me off..so I was looking to take it out on someone
I made a game on Winter Conquest, only 2 people joined so we decided to do a ffa amazingly, one of my friends that gave up sc a few months ago was found in there, and was wanting to play...so the other guy was a bit susupicious that we may ally, but he played anyway
Scene of the crime : Winter Conquest
Suspects :
TheRubberDucky Terran (my worst race) Random, 12o'clock
toyarmyman Protoss Chosen, 6o'clock
u_4ea zerg chosen 5o'clock
I started out by going for a quick barrax on 7 followed a by a supply depot on 8 and a bunker on 9 followed by another depot on 10 and a rax on 12.
I had about 6 marines, 4 in the bunker, 2 in my cluster of scv's when a small horde (atleast 15) of zerglings poured into my base, ripping a few scv's that we're repairing my bunker to shreds, and killing my refinery which I sadly placed outside of the bunkers range
After the threat was removed I qued up 5 scv's and built a e-bay a academy a refinery and a cc to float to 1 of the islands.
When I had about 12 marines 6 bats and 4 medics with no bunker (I had 2 full of marines) I sent them to the south where I could see what I could do to my friend, knowing that he is really bad with making defense.
I discovered that he had taken 1 of the gas only exspanions, and his natural, with 6 goons defending both I easily took out the gas one, but lost my marines when the zerg decided to go and destroy my base with nearly 50 zerglings. My main was TOASTED. I lifted off both of my cc's (thank GOD for lift off) my 2 rax, and any other building that could fly, and took the 2 island exspansions with 1 rax for each base.
I immeditely constructed a few scv's and 2 supply depots (there was one at my old main that hadn't been destroyed) and I continued production of marines, medics bunkers (too many bunkers) and scv's. When I realized that I would need to build a starport to have any chance of victory, I constructed a factory lifted it off, constructed ANOTHER factory, lifted it off, and built machine shops on both of them at the small pass between the 2 islands.
Around this time u_4ea started cussing at my friend about using so many (apparently he had nearly 20) corsiars, going around just popping u's ovies. Back at my southern base I constructed a starport and researched both siege mode and spider mines at my 2 factorys, all the time building siege tanks (way to many, they all lived the ENTIRE game hehe) and when my Starport finished, I built a control tower followed by 2 dropships.
My comsatting found one of zergs undefended exspansions at the 2o'clock starting position, so I loaded up my dropships with 10 marines, 2 medics, 3 firebats, and 1 scv (to build a cc there) when my precious deadly cargo landed I ran into about 6 2/2 lings (my infantry was 1/0) stimmed my marines, and razed the base. This base would become my new main. I loaded everything but the scv and 3 marines and 1 medic and went to my old main, where I discoverd a whole mess of drones do pretty much nothing, twin spires, and a spore colony, I razed this base to, and sent my scv that was now finsihed with the cc to create a cc there to mine the hald mined base, Back at my southern exspansion I qued up 5 wraiths at my lone starport, and continued making tanks and marines that I would never get to use due to constant scourging of dropships I made and a high threat of lurkers that we're near zergs base, I think I only made 1 science vessel the ENTIRE game, and irradiated a total of 1 ovie, and a bunch of his drones at exspansions.
u_4ea has been defeated
I guess my buddy had taken him out, and when I sent my now 24 wraiths to check it out I found 15 (!) dts and 2 reavers, along with SEVERAL shuttles, which I disposed of, followed by the dt, then the reavers.
I found my opponents only working exspansion with 24 goons, 1 observer, 3 probes mining gas, and no probes on minerals. Also there we're 4 gateways and a tightly packed group of pylons
I looked back at my base and added a covert ops to my science facility (giggles like a madman) and started construction of another dropship and science vessel
When my 2 ghosts popped out, I added 2 nuke silos at my other 2 exspansions, (my old main and my new main) and filled them with deadly missles I loaded up 2 ghosts into the dropships, sent my now 48 0/0 wraiths and quickly killed his observer and 1 templar there, and ran back out, in the confusion I dropped the 2 ghosts at the rear of his base and nuked the group of pylons (I counted 16) unfortuanately 1 of the ghosts we're killed becuase it ran out of energy and de-cloaked, but since I had a science vessel I came over and emp'd the pylons before the nuke landed, just BARELY before the nukes landed, I saw an observer die, and, lucky for me he was trying to move his goons back to kill my last ghost, and I got about 20 of them in the splash damage.
I sent in my wraiths and razed this base, and realized that this was his last mining exspansion, and there was only 1 place left to mine on the ENTIRE map, my old mains natural exspansion, he could get gas from the 2 geysers in the middle, but I had to many tanks there for even a control group of ultralisks to approach it
I moved onto his main, razed it, and got the
toyarmyman has left the game
message
I was overjoyed, I have never won a ffa game that I lost so many tech buildings in.
