Good morning Teamliquid

Well, eh. Depends where you live and how you define the term "morning", but I hope it is good for you nevertheless :3

Let me introduce myself a little first, as this is my first blog entry, and I am a relatively new ( and noobish ) member of the community - as my post count indicates. I'm Ringall, your basic 18y high-school student enrolling into university this fall (hoping to at least I do have a couple of conditional offers already ). My gaming skills are nothing fantastic either. Actually, they are pretty bad. I just currently got promoted to diamond, and most likely will be spending at least a couple of seasons there before jumping up another league :3

I am starting a blog here, to keep track of my adventures on the ladder, as well as real life. I will be sharing what random incidents I happen to stumble across, for the entertainment of others My sense of humor might not be suited for everyone, so I already apologize beforehand. I will honestly be surprised if ~90% of you will not find me boring and dull.

And yes, I do use too many emoticons. bear with it.

On with the actual purpose of this blog entry :3

+ Show Spoiler +
You thought this was going to be just another "hai guize! Imma write blog nao!"- entry. Don't lie ^^
I will actually attempt to write something, that vaguely resembles a battlereport. Say, like, a fifth cousin of one. And a deformed one at that. Maybe lacking a limb or two, and having a speech deficit and an alcohol problem. At first glance they look (slightly) alike, but, the other one has content :D


The game begins with me spawning as the red zerg in the South-West, and the mighty terran opponent MSEG in the North-East. It's ok to cheer now.
+ Show Spoiler +
No? No one?


[image loading]

I send Dave over to see what my mate MSEG was up to, and what do you know? Some pesky marines appear out of nowhere and start spewing pellets at Dave. No matter how many times I told him, he would not listen and wanted to take a shortcut across that opening :/

[image loading]

Confusion emerges from both parties, as the identity of my ambassador is under debate. Yes, Dave was there. Now all we have left is a red stain :/

[image loading]

My original feelings of anger and disbelief dissipate as It comes to light that poor MSEG just thought Dave to be Steve. Understandable mistake, as they do indeed look rather similar.
+ Show Spoiler +
Really, he was not lying either. Steve is like the nastiest person ever. I would not have minded at all if it would have been him.


The game proceeds fairly normally. I get my 15-hatch 15-pool up, and due to the death of my ambassador, am in the dark of what MSEG is preparing. "Of course it is hellions" Steve tells me. "You see nothing but reactor hellions from terrans". Still being slightly shocked about Dave's passing away I believe Steve.

Much to my disappointment, hellions are not what I encounter.

[image loading]

Those same pesky marines that took my Dave are over. This time though, they have Steve in their cross hairs (who even lied to me :/ ). I do not thus do much to save him. My attempt to send a huggle-force of cute drones (they were very mannered btw) was met with hostility, and I had to withdraw them.

Eventually the huggle-resistant marines were removed from the presence of my dwelling, and I proceeded to do what was so strongly ingrained into my sense. To keep expanding, and conquering more land.

[image loading]
+ Show Spoiler +
No guys, you can't know everything about my personal life - not yet at least. Lets keep the skype contacts out of this.


I did not - however - abandon my second mission: to spread love and warmth to all land. I encountered an unsuspecting terran force, and proceeded to approach them. Only pleasant things like.. hugging, and stuff in my mind. I believe my approach might have been too fast and forceful, as my target got frightened, and attempted to shoo me away. I did the best I could, and proceeded to give them love, until they were contempt and left
+ Show Spoiler +
Where do they always go when I do this?


[image loading]

I pursued the terran beings back to their dwelling in an attempt to cuddle and hug. Once again, I was met with hostility. Maybe it is against their customs for foreigners to be this upfront and caring? Even though it hurt, I did my best to ensure no terran being was left without love.

[image loading]

MSEG then brought forwards flying things, that made a very loud noise. It startled me, so I had to retreat and gather my forces. it is not fair to huggle if you are afraid yourself. Does not give a good impression now does it? It might even hurt someones feeligns :/

[image loading]

After only a while, I was ready to pursue my mission of sharing love again. Yet again to be met with near-lethal hostility. I am slowly beginning to wonder if he really hates me, or am I just so ugly?
+ Show Spoiler +
Why must you hurt me so?


Not much happened for a while. We were both minding our businesses.
+ Show Spoiler +
I am such a horrible person. I am lying here ;____; I spent that time crying, wondering why he hurts me so, and thinking of new - less intrusive - ways to approach him. Come on man. There has to be a way.
Eventually I gave up and decided to maintain my previous form of sharing love. I mean, who does not like love? He must just have been startled. He will get used to it.


[image loading]
attempting to share love
[image loading]
Attempt to share love failed :/

Even my plushy-squishy-cuddly baneling-gifts were deterred, but at least there was a hint of progress!
He responded to my efforts, and seemed genuinely taken aback by his own actions - and my losses due to them.
I was not the monster here after all.

[image loading]

Encouraged that I could now proceed with sharing my love at full force, I brought Charles, James and Jim to the field. My precious brothers. They really like hugging you know. See those soft arms extending out to hug you?~

[image loading]

The presence of the trio at the terran base produced nothing but s sad MSEQ
+ Show Spoiler +
Which also makes me sad! I wanted him to happy and loved!


[image loading]

I really do not know. I did everything in my power, but still I was pushed away. (Or actually, he went away.) Was I too forceful? I would love to believe not. All I wanted was to make the terran(s) happy :/

End of the.. eh? what should I even call this?

Thanks for reading all of this (I know none of you did - it is fine :3 )!
and thanks to you MSEQ for being a manner (and humorous) guy on the ladder! There are never enough of such.
I really did have a fun time playing against you, and writing this.

+ Show Spoiler +
And no, I do not attempt to be mean or anything! I just really enjoyed meeting a mannered person on the ladder, and the game was very interesting, and actually played well. From side to side - like it should be
Here is the replay in case you are interested - http://drop.sc/158056/d
Bewarned though, it is not too high quality play from me and I did not come in search for comments on the game. :3


Thanks guys! And have a nice evening. Hopefully I'll be posting something more coherent and sensible, that actually might be related to something and be of interest to someone, soon :3

Ringall out~~

(and, uh, the pics are working a little odd. I will proceed to fix them tomorrow~)
