I didn't manage to finish this before the appropriate thread was closed, so I might as well blog it (because as I'm sure you can tell it took a lot of time and effort to make [image loading]

)

I also suggest we use this thread as a place to discuss how Atlas would mech, as Sayle tried to do. So: Atlas meching; your thoughts?
Personally I think it would be pretty hard to play a computer game while holding up the world, but if you're holding up the world that's pretty hard in the first place so maybe not. Maybe he uses his feet?

He would bind the poor and the "uncultured" barbarians into mining natural resources, creating infrastructure, serve as meat shields for the military, AND act as on-field mechanics. But it's okay, THE STRONG RULE THE WEAK FUCK THE POOR.

All Zerg units share the same structure and are bent to the will of the overmind so they're obviously Soviet heathens, and the Protoss all share their psyche or some shit with their phallic appendages so they're some sort of strange, socialist, mystical (religion is evil!!!) space hippies and both of these races deserve to be trampled imo. The Dark Templars are cool cause they aren't a part of this hippie bullshit, but they're still uncultured and can give up their individualism to become glowing balls of fag so they're still barbarians.

For twelve years, you have been asking: Who is John Galt? This is John Galt speaking. I am the man who loves tanks. I am the man who does not sacrifice his units. I am the man who has sieged your natural in a position that is impossible to break, and if you wish to know why you are perishing-you who dread knowledge-I am the man who will now tell you.

this is hard and doesn't work very well hmm

edit: seriously though, that shit is long; no way i'm ever reading that book lol

I like how all of his posts are all in his own threads.

Also, he thinks you can support 3 hatches per mining base.

Definitely the feet. If your godly enough to hold up the world I think you can handle playing SC with the feet.

Might crush the mouse though.

Don't play 2v2 with AtlasMech. If you get attacked and ask for help, he tells you that your economy is weak because you're not a heroic capitalist. Then he ignores you and goes to defend a ravine in the corner of the map.

In a thread from a few days ago, he claimed to have player 500,000 games of BW, and that he doesn't use hotkeys.

Impressive. Even if he managed to play a game every ten minutes that means he has been playing nonstop BW for the last 9.5 years.

Wonder where this dude finds time to eat, or take care of basic needs?

He can just hold the world on his back, maintaining it with just one hand so it doesn't roll, and voilà ! He has a free hand to do some mech builds.
I don't see any other explanation.

Atlas wouldn't mech, because he doesn't believe in intervention among his game play. Therefore, because of the invisible hand, he knows terran would, through incentives created by starcraft, go to mech of its own will, commanding itself in the most efficient, best way possible to victory.

Atlas will mech in Starcraft 3 with STs that take siege instantaneously and vultures that drop turrets as well as mines. Of course by then, he'd argue why we can't use zerg larvae as instantaneous suicide missiles.

Or with a build that has 3 vehicle armor and 3 ship armor against zerg. He will argue that this is better against zerglings and that your tanks will do less siege damage to themselves when weapon research is unupgraded and that the extra armor will let science vessels/valkries withstand more mutalisk attacks. He'll even get EMP and blind against zerg, because it is extremely cost effective to blind overlords/EMP defilers. He'll do this build, on 1 base, with double academy and triple ebays (you need the 3rd one to spot stuff over the cliff on FS).
