***************
Update
I will be on starting in about 30 minutes, 3:00 TL time, starting my last game around 7:30 TL time.

I will play anyone and everyone, AncestralBW on AIM and Ancestral on iCCup. I might be able to play Hamachi, I'm not sure, and Chaos on West or East would be ok too if you want that for some strange reason.

I'll play ranked or unranked. My rank is currently D, I could get D- if I wanted to. So if you can hold D+ or higher, you'll probably stomp me, but if you want EZ points or just want to help a fellow relieve some post-exam stress that would be awful nice!
***************



So I will soon be done with final exams for my first year of college. I'll be done Wednesday at 11:18, then I have Bible study at 12:00EST.

However, even though I got good grades at my first year of college, I realized I haven't really achieved anything ever. I always try to do things as well as I can as soon as I get interested in them; academics, cycling, running, weightlifting, learning languages (Spanish and Korean), playing the guitar, etc. But one of my great interests I have neglected is BroodWar. So I've decided that after exams, between 2:00 and 7:00PM EST on Wednesday the 4th of June, I should play as a celebration of finishing exams.

I'm easily a D- Protoss, though I am leaps and bounds better than I was when I started following the pro scene.

I feel I spend too much time watching BW, and not enough time learning it. So I've decided to do this, just to "break the ice," because I've never really played more than 3 games in a row because of a busy schedule.

I may get tired in this first marathon session, but I've vowed to complete it. I'll post replays after I'm done, not because they're worth watching but as proof to myself I did it. I don't want to be a "top foreigner" or even iCCup B- or anything, especially with SC2 right around the corner, I just want to do as best I can.

So for my 1000th post, I'll bump this 15 or so minutes before I start. Anyone who wants to play me I'm

AncestralBW on AIM
Ancestral on iCCup

I'll just be in the D channel, you can msg me. If no one does, I guess I'll just play public games. I might also be able to play Hamachi, it's hit or miss with my universities internet.

If you have the time that day, soundly defeat me so that I may learn the true plight of someone who plays this game seriously! I may go 0-15, but then I'd feel even more accomplished.

kthx

Edit: I didn't mean to sound arrogant, I suck at all the things I listed to. Just not as much as I did before.

Edit: Edit: I suck at choosing which spelling of the word "too" to use also.

Edit: Edit: Edit: I guess if I sincerely want to get better, I had better learn the secret of high APM from gghertz. Also, these multiple "edit" tags aren't that logical.

The Nature and purpose of the martial way are universal; all selfish desires must be roasted in the tempering fires of hard training. - Masutatsu Oyama

Hey, I'll play you after I'm done with my finals. Though that's not until Thursday, then I have to get home. But maybe Thursday evening or something, I might be able to catch you and play a couple games. My own game has regressed a bit too :p

What the fuck (to continue the chain)

I am in this exact same position.
Final exams are in the way, but if you are a Christian, Bible study is very important.
Just remember, though getting good at BW is a _very_ good thing, in some views, it shouldn't take over your life, unless you have potential to be a pro-gamer.

P.S. High APM != skill. Just work on remembering what to do, and make everything a first priority, When you do everything as fast as you can, you will eventually increase your APM, if you care about the numbers. I am 210 Z APM, without spam, but I get owned so bad by so many with lower APM.

HelloWorld(OD) @ USEast, West, and iCCup. Message me sometime. Most of the time at east.
