Map - Island hop

Cakemix and I were bored, so we decided to pick up some pub
games. I hosted on island hop, and we waited for some peeps to
join. After finally waiting a few minutes(you know how it is with
non-hunters games), two peeps joined. Looking at their records,
they were obvious newbies. I decided to have some fun, instead of
just killing them with no challenge.

As the game started, Killer asked who his allies were(even
though we did say tvb in chat.) Cakemix decided to confuse him by
saying he was his partner also, but Pallimud managed to convince
him that he was his only partner. Killer immediately asked for
defense(apparently he hadn't learned how to ally chat), and
repeatedly asked him. Pallimud(who didn't know how to ally chat
either), said he didn't have transports yet, and couldn't help
him. They did figure out it was islands, though; I guess they do
read the map names(ISLAND hop).

After that, I just started fooling around. I floated a command
center to the island above me, and built 5 barracks. Meanwhile,
Cakemix was going for a reaver/dt drop, but I convinced him not
to kill them very fast, and to have some fun using some stupid
strats. I suggested mass scouts, which he builds later on.

After my 5 barracks were done, I decided to scout with them. I
first sent them to the 12 o'clock island, but my barracks found
no one there. I then sent them to the next island over, and found
Pallimud. A few hundred turrets deterred the barracks, so they
decided to migrate south. They reached the southern island, where
Killer was found with one probe mining minerals, and one probe
mining gas(this was ay least 10 minutes into the game)

Once the barracks entered the proximity of the island, they
started their landing sequence. The runway was clear except for a
pylon, so all of the barracks made a safe landing.

(some of the barracks are on fire from Pallimud's
turrets)

The barracks did not pump out any units, however, as they
wished to shown them as monuments of superiority. A command
center soon followed the barracks, as well as 12 scvs, which
sought to claim the minerals of the island for themselves,

(by this point I had allied(not shared vision)
with both of them)

(here the scvs are claiming what is rightfully
theirs)

After seeing the scvs mine Killer's base, Pallimud became
enraged. He became convinced that Killer was backstabbing him,
and started taunting us.

At this point, Killer still didn't want to be our allies and
tried to convince Pallimud that he was not backstabbing. He also
asked kindly for me to leave his base.

After Killer decided to make some cannons in his base(hey, it
was only 30 minutes into the game), I retreated my scvs to their
dropships, and floated the barracks away from the island. After
some bitter insults from Pallimud, Killer decided he wanted me
back in his base and wanted to ally with Cakemix and myself. We,
of course, agreed to this, as Pallimud was practicing using some
"colorful metaphors"(for all you trekie fans), and we
decided it would be a good time to kill Pallimud.

(here are our mass scout/wraith victory fleets)

Our victory fleets obliterate Pallimud's base, followed by
four nukes to finish it off.
