So I took the weekend off from training, and look what happened:

Comp Spam Practice
Game21: 159 APM; 718 unspent resources; 14:29 time.
Game22: 186 APM; 597 unspent resources; 13:44 time.
Game23: 192 APM; 470 unspent resources; 17:13 time.
Game24: 163 APM; 1648 unspent resources; 18:37 time.
Game25: 188 APM; 812 unspent resources; 18:03 time.

Game21-25 Averages
178 APM; 849 unspent resources; 16:25 time.

Damn you, hands! Speed up!

In the New York Times today there was an article called, "A New Populism Spurs Democrats on the Economy." It's a decent article on the economic concerns of Americans and how politicians are reacting to those concerns. The populism the article talks about isn't new at all, but it is hitting a critical mass, and the democrats, at least, have noticed. Whether any of their platforms address it appropriately or this is all just lip service, I'm not sure. I have a hell of a time finding any specifics of any American politician's platforms. I'll try to look a few of them up in the next week or so.

Haha. 93 APM for me. I gotta spam more. It just feels... useless to do that, you know? like I have a mental blockade preventing me to do such things.

Gotta practice more. ^^

I'm kinda stuck around 200 apm in the spam practice games atm. I'll update again when I get results better than my best day (I think I got 212 avg apm that day). I have a feeling people aren't too interested in daily updates that show no progress... unless there's folk that're just lurking for an opportunity to troll.

I don't save the spam practice replays so I can't share any with you, and I haven't played many games vs people since I started this. I think it'd help you more to look at some pro-gamers replays and see what they do. I'm just some noob that's trying to get his hands used to moving quickly, y'know.

If you're really that curious...
+ Show Spoiler +

I start the game by building a drone and splitting my workers. Then I hotkey my overlord to 2, my hatchery to 4, and my building drone to 1. Then I set my hatchery's rally point to an unused mineral patch and spam 24241 while lassoing my drones. After each drone is set to mine, I change the rally point to a new mineral patch and set the next drone egg to the 1.

Once I have 9 drones mining, I build an overlord and set it to 3, then I set my hatchery's rally point to the next base I'll want to scout and spam 23434 while lassoing my drones.

After the overlord hatches, I make drones and set my rally point near my minerals. From here things differ a lot depending on which build order I decide on. I haven't done 9 pool a whole lot, but I do 12 hatch and 12 pool with pretty much equal regularity.

By the end of the game, I have 123 for units and 45678 and sometimes 90&F3 for hatcheries, depending on the length of the game and how many extra minerals I'm producing (F2 is set on my rally point). Most of the game-- in between attacks, while I'm containing, while I wait for the comp to send its zealots at my natural-- I'm spamming 4567 over and over again, but I also spam 123 over and over in between micro actions when I'm attacking or defending.

Here's the spam from my last game as seen in BWChart:

And that's pretty much the story of my empty spam. I'm just winging it, though. If there's a proper way to spam I don't know what it is. But seriously, use progamers as your rolemodels, not me.
