wth is starcraft

Its that time of the year again, where a bunch of people write 50,000 "novels" over the month of November! Although "national" is in the name, I can assure you that this is now a worldwide event!

Basic rules (by the site's terms):
You must start a new story, you cannot rewrite a story or continue one that you have already started.
You can have a writing buddy, for a combined total of 100,000 words.
You can plan/outline your story before November, but you cannot start writing until November 1st.
The 'point' behind NaNoWriMo is not to produce this great literary masterpiece, but rather to create a deadline (that is, the end of November) and stick to it!
More information can be found on their website: www.nanowrimo.org -- they have great writers resources and a great community, but the site is slow and bugged as hell for the first week of November, usually.

Who's participating this year? I am. I'm going to write a space opera! :awesome:

I would read your opera.
I'd also enter if I have time. Hrm. Doubt I will but we'll see.

I haven't started it
I have tried to start it
but I haven't started it.

You're allowed to plan and outline, but you aren't allowed to start writing the actual novel until november. Trust me, I'm completely legit.

Symmetry -- I dreamed about that as a kid. The idea of a computer capable of analyzing a starcraft map and calculating the fastest possible way to hit the victory condition

[02:29 am]

Symmetry -- But can AI beat my custom maps?

[12:32 pm]

Oh_Man -- yea APM vs eAPM

[08:48 am]

NimoStar -- plus most of the human APM is just spam clicking APM inflation

[08:47 am]

NimoStar -- the thing with the "*12" thing is completely misleading. The AI isn't using two control groups, it can use each of those actions to command a single unit individually and issue different commands to each single unit.

NudeRaider shouted: Oh_Man Artosis hasn't caught on how devastating the perfect focus fire is. With the mutas he was like "the Mutas always seem to have less hp than against a human". But he didn't notice that the flock he had selected always just had one muta that was hurt. Same with the wraiths here. He's talking about how valks+wraith is gonna destroy Pluto's valks, then 5s later he's dumbfounded the human player's air is just gone and he never figured out why. And for some reason didn't even think to go back and look at the battle.

Vrael -- perhaps there is a small professional player trapped in a box in the server rack where pluto is running? hmm?

Vrael -- 240*12*2 is 5760, where is the other 240 APM?
