Well if you got bad grades maybe you should improve them first before you get ur starcraft back, nonetheless i will vote yes for the support :D
Coming from someone who failed too many times to count, you really want that education. Trust me.

Wait. I'm confused. How is making a poll about whether or not you should be able to play starcraft, in a forum dedicated to the game (so no bias there) going to help you convince your parents that you should be able to play?

I'm voting no on the poll just because it is a stupid way to go about solving your problem. Maybe you do need to focus more on your studies and raise the IQ a bit so you can find a course of action that might actually work.

If your parents have any sense at all, they won't care about what a bunch of guys on the Internet say (and like Fontong said, from a Starcraft site no less, lol).

The solution's pretty simple: in the future, don't play enough Starcraft for it to have an effect on your grades.

I really miss the point of this thread... how will this get your sc and computer back? Your parents won't give two shits about what a bunch of STARCRAFT (duuuuuhhhhhhh) players think...
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Bad grades? They are terrible.

And seriously, what is this poll going to prove to your parents? If I were you, I would do better in school and raise my marks ASAP so I can play Starcraft again.

In middle school, my dad was tired of me doing nothing at all, never doing homework, shirking chores, and playing starcraft. After talking back to him and my mom for the nth time, my dad took my brood war disc and broke it right in front of me. He was right to do it. X years later, I'm able to play brood war and get good grades. Everybody wins.

Wow, even I never got an F. A slew of D's, though. Wow horrible, yeah, no more SC for you, bro.

We people from the internet have only 1 grades for anything in our real life, it's A. Because we have the need to project our awesomeness in a self centered manner, in the same time we would like to make others feel bad about their own pathetic lives. And if someone else says they As everything, we must down play it by saying it's very very easy to achieve.

Thank you for owning these people. You have my gratitude.

OP just bring up the F to a C or something and your grades are fine. You should be able to play starcraft.

That's fine if the OP isn't asian, but if he is, then anything less than straight A's warrants no SC.

It's impossible to fail a class if you actually go to it and do your assignments.

A - Try really hard or easy professor
B - Typical grade for average student in any class
C - Tough class or you didn't go all the time / didn't handle your shit
D - You suck at whatever you're taking and you probably didn't complete everything
F - You skipped the final or you don't care at all.
Never give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

Fight back!!! Play at night, steal your computer back and play at night. Over time, your skills will increase exponentially from your passionate play. Then go to South Korea and hit it big as a progamer. Seriously, all the awesome progamers had overbearing parents who took away SC, but did that stop them, NO! Don't let that stop you.

If you had kept your playing of the game secret to begin with this wouldn't have been a problem.

If you play too openly then it becomes very easy for them to connect lack of academic achievement to StarCraft.
