What: I'm a mediocre Protoss player who has been dicking around since 2008 (with a one year break in between) and not laddering enough the whole way through. On a good day I have taken games off C- players, but most of the time I just get stuck 7/8th of the way to D+ and give up after a huge losing streak.

That time is over now. To finally prove myself that I'm not completely talentless at Brood War, I am now vowing to not stop playing for the rest of the night and coming morning until I reach D+. I will be streaming this entire unfortunate happening and giving my commentary as I go.

I'm writing this at 7:30pm (PST), November 28th. At 8:00 barring some freak circumstances I'll begin streaming for the night.

My stipulations are as follows:
-Cannot only play against one race
-Can ban people above my rank. I don't care, I'm not going to play against a 2800 D+.
-I get one Tim Hortons break whenever I choose. It will likely be later in the evening, but we'll see. It takes about a half hour to get Timmies from my house so expect a short delay in the broadcast.
*If I do not post a screen shot of my D+ rank by the end of the my streaming session, then I would like a willing mod to ban me from TL for 2 weeks please.

Yes, you heard that right. Not only is my E-penis at stake here, but ironically enough so is my ban virginity. I'm quite certain there is a mod around here willing to ban me, but just in case I'll pm one of the mods if I give up before D+.

What you the viewer can do: I don't expect many people to watch, but please cheer me on and give me good advice if you decide to stop by. I'm feeling kind of crazy tonight so if anyone has any suggestions about things I have to do it I fail (or win) or anything else, please let me know and I might just do it.

Thanks TL, for being the only thing around that can keep my lazy ass accountable.

I'll make a post here when the stream is live.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHH GG! It wasn't easy but I made it. Thanks everyone. I have retained my ban virginity, and succesfully proved that if you really half ass something for a long time then you are slightly better off than someone who has just started!
Here's the vod:

Heh, to be honest the mod I was going to pm was going to be you anyway Manifesto. Looks like I don't need to bother now.
Ok I'll get the stream running, thanks for the good luck.

Good luck! I'll be watching for a bit. Brood War is hard; I mean, it's hard to even be mediocre at Starcraft (either of them), and I don't think I've ever won a BW game, haha.
If you can't jam with the best, then you have to slam with the rest.

Wow, that was an awesome experience. Thanks to everyone who stuck around for that and dealt with my noobness. And especially thanks to manifesto for the 1v1s and being awesome in general as usual.

Edit: Also sooo sorry to fabiano for timing you out... It won't happen again ^^

Thanks. Now that I've gotten more used to mass gaming, I might actually be able to hit C- in two months or so. I guess it all depends on how lazy I am.

I'll put a link in the OP for anyone who wants to watch.
