GAF Replay Roundup 2-22-2010: 3 games

8 FFA The Hunters Official Map: This one was ridiculously long and is why we can't have any more FFA games.

4 vs. 4 The Hunters iccup version since people argued this is a more balanced version.

that ffa was great, even if the map sucked. :lol my natural didnt even have a geyser! totally not cool, forced me to spec zealots and energy units, still turtle mode and dark archons were great.

oh yawee, your science vessels are so tasty!

whats with the superhigh redundancy in apms? >_> if clicking once does the job, there's no need to torture your mouse. -.-

So, we need a better pool of maps rather than just selecting Hunters all the time. Digging through the Bnet archives, I see...

Meat Grinder
http://classic.battle.net/images/battle/scc/LP/9902/mg.jpg
Looks good for Team or Short FFA games, since there are no natural expansions and only one resource-rich expansion up a cliff in the middle

Plains of Snow 98
http://classic.battle.net/images/battle/scc/lp/8/bpos.jpg
Huge, wide open, no natural expansions, and only a few flight-only expansions. Probably best for FFA or small teams.

Green Valleys
http://classic.battle.net/images/battle/scc/lp/ladder/xgv.jpg
Simple design, might lend itself to some dick Cannons/Tanks on cliffs, but looks pretty reasonable and anti-turtle


Friends 98
http://classic.battle.net/images/battle/scc/lp/8/bfu.jpg
Shared bases - the ideal 4v4 or 2v2v2v2 map.


Theatre of War
http://classic.battle.net/images/battle/scc/lp/bw08/tow.jpg
Strongly anti-turtle due to the exposed naturals, no choke points, and lower-altitude outer-ring with expansions.

Wheel of War
http://classic.battle.net/images/battle/scc/lp/bw08/wow.jpg
Simple design, easily circumvented choke points.

Scorpion Ravine
http://classic.battle.net/images/battle/scc/LP/0399/sr.jpg
Fair map, full natural expansions, choke points, and two contested expansions up cliffs in the middle.

Border Dispute
http://classic.battle.net/images/battle/scc/lp/bwallied/xbd.jpg
2v2v2v2, Rather large but interesting




Crystal Castles
http://classic.battle.net/images/battle/scc/lp/bwallied/xcc.jpg
4v4 Shared Base

That FFA was terrible. You just sat there building photon canons and a bunch of dark archons. I actually went on a rampage killing everyone one by one, and then I got lazy since you guys were just sitting there.

I like the later games we played. It was clear that there was a lot of friction and occurred in many short intervals.

For me, it's to keep in rhythm. That's why I have redundant apms.

4v4 Shared Base

Shared base is hunters though. It's perhaps a map for noobs to best be accustomed with. A lot of casual players play on it.

We can try these other maps hm. They look pretty interesting.

I like wheel of war although of course no one plays it. There's a version of it similar to it in WC3 although that's a different game altogether.

and whee, been playing random games here and there and everyone likes to rush a lot -_-

there might not be any 8 player maps, though many of the maps have 'observer' versions; ie you can 1v1/2v2 and have other people spectate the match.

it was still shorter then the time when i went out and bodied every player on the map, its length was in line with every 8 player ffa gaf has played.

are you really shocked that an 8 player ffa might be a time killer? :lol turtling is the smart thing to do in that situation. its the winning thing to do. especially when the map limits your resource count out of the gate. -.- patience has its place in starcraft.

i think we have 5 people atm?

Get well soon! I'm interested in clav's replay. He said his replay scanner thingy flagged mcrae using a cheat (6 actions being commanded in the same second?), but I didn't see the end of that discussion.

in one second wouldn't be an issue as both clav and yawee have had apm's at that pace.

hopefully clav will post the report. until then, innocent until proven guilty. i'm not particularly bothered by the idea. anti hack systems often detect each other as they're all unofficial third party programs.

edit: or mcrae could just post, that works too.

i know what he's talking about, i was considering using it in single player, but suffice it to say if everyone's not using it in multi its a cheat

its not like its the worst thing in the world, but just as with the auto queue hack if you're using it and everyone else isnt you have an unfair advantage.

Anyone up for some 2v2 against me and a friend around 9CST tonight? The maps will be from the iccup map 2 pack (I want to play one on Fighting Spirit and the other on Eye of the Storm). If you remember me from earlier games this week you'll remember that I'm not that good and he's even worse but we're looking to get some practice (preferably against zerg but I'll take what I can get) since we're going up against some friends this weekend who play zerg.

If people are gonna use 3rd party programs they should at least have the decency of telling others so that they can decide if they wanna play with them or not.

I might take you up on that offer.

We'll see whoever is there tonight. We play on US East and meetups occur on channel GAF (/j GAF).

As for uploading stuff from last night, I'll get to that later.

As for mcrae, eh, just promise me that you won't be using hacks again because I'll assume you're using other hacks such as a map hack. I've played quite a number of games on battle.net when people used map hacks, mine hacks, and unit control hacks, and it's very frustrating. After watching the replay several times, I thought it looked suspicious from my angle as I didn't understand why you were clearing out bases. I was giving you the benefit of the doubt until I analyzed the replay with a program.

I'm gonna hop on in a little bit 7pm (25 minutes from now) if anyone is interested, if no one's around I won't wait in the channel too long, but if wanna play you can catch me in the IRC channel used for SF4/TvC infos in the OP here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=385841

GAF Replay Roundup 2-23-2010: 4 games
=======
1. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2144796/GAF/Starcraft Replays/2-23-2010 SC Game 1.rep

3 v 3 Theater of War. I got my ass dominated thanks to poor scouting from myself. Nice one Mila although I think it would have been a different game had you been attacked. You had a free pass.

2. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2144796/GAF/Starcraft Replays/2-23-2010 SC Game 2.rep

8 ffa on theater of war. mcrae wins although is caught cheating.

Proof:

mcrae, clean yourself up or you're not allowed in our sessions any more.

3. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2144796/GAF/Starcraft Replays/2-23-2010 SC Game 3.rep

1 v 1 Obs on heartbreak ridge. It was a true newbie against a novice, so it was unfair.

3 ffa on blood bath.

? Come on now. You guys are insensitive for doing this. You guys (mila and pandacraft) like picking on people.

Who uses the word "salty" to describe people? Is this a Canadian thing? This is not the first time you've guys mentioned that way. All you do cling on it and rub it all over me. Let it go please.

I'm actually arranging things for GAF. Wow. I just don't know what to say.

If you want to label me that way fine, but I don't understand the adversity against me. It's very insensitive, and I don't see how we can call ourselves a community then.

Man, I don't know if I want to play any more because that's just not right. You owe me an apology.

I put myself out there and you treat me like this.

If you want to be forever known as the dickish asshole who labels people and talks trash behind their backs, then so be it.

You say I'm salty because I got impatient for a game that shouldn't last long, and it really shouldn't. Other people agreed to that on that night. They're not vocal about it. I said something to IMPROVE the pacing of the game as not everyone has the time to just sit there. You know you're wrong, and what you're doing is hurting other people by saying insensitive things like that.

Please stop.

This might seem anal, but the 3v3 and FFA were on Theatre of War (not Wheel of War, which is a completely different map)

Thanks for admitting it, mcrae. I don't think it's the end of the world if someone uses some program, but I do agree that if you do that, please be honest and just announce/ask people in the channel before the game. If no one minds, then it's your business, but otherwise, people may be at a disadvantage if they don't use any third-party programs.

Clavier, I think mila is just being silly/sarcastic, but I could be wrong. I don't know what "salty" actually means so I guess I assumed he was joking? :) Hopefully we can clear up any misunderstanding.
