I wanted to try my hand at something with a tone different from what you all are doing,* so I did. Unfortunately I'm not skilled enough to put that in iambic pentameter.

Let the pursuit of the stars once again reign supreme,
exercise the potential capacity and stop idle hands from furthering the devil's cause.
Endeavor with vigor; let the same vigor blaze through and provide the energy to cremate fault.
Fight brazenly when the time to fight comes, but until such time employ control as the better excersize of strength and power.
Sanction skill, but scorn the use of persistence and guile as substitutes,
construct, grow, and apply, rather than allow, use, or lax;
distinguish the illusion and the reality.
Sear the fools with true intensity; hunt the false with vehemence until incinerated,
slash and strike and scorch and char,
channel the energy which comes from the harsh, fiery core of truth and unleash it so that the veracious may regrow like the forest after a wildfire,
rejuvenated with a youthful energy from the ashes of the old.
Have heart and burn.


*what "you all are doing" in my opinion, of course.



None.

Stuff in red is awkward, in my opinion.

This section was great though. It flowed fairly well, and conveyed a sense of a raging, cleansing flame.

Overall, good job, but first part especially comes across more as a lecture, sort of stated as 'this is what to do, go do it.'



Red classic.

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?
