Doesn't matter which units do you use. For zerg theoretically ultras have the best building time / supply ratio, and they were actually used by Pezsmapatkany in getting the same time as deekin (tA-r.skyline). Of course using Oblivion is out of question, I guess it was meant to be a joke. I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but look for your location after reading your last sentence. Before I even looked, I knew you were from that land :o Dammit, when will TL realize that we Romanians are being sarcastic when we're pretending not to get sarcasm. So the joke is actually on you! See the irony? Or are you also being sarcastic by pretending you don't know we are?
I understand all the Romanian comments now! Life just made loads more sense

Is there a way to verify the contest participants are using fastest speed rather than normal or slower? If it's just replays unless the result is something like 800 APM how would we know?
Why would the apm matter?

If the apm was some unreachably large amount, it would most likely mean that the replay was being played at a faster speed than the game itself were played.

I don't like doing it with drones/probes or what not simply because it has no real purpose or value in-game. I can max a 3 base Protoss army of zealots, dragoons, high templar, archons and obs in 11 minutes with upgrades, and I think that is worth more than having 200 drones at 9 minutes.
Just a comment on the whole contest I guess <<

Noone said it has purpose in real-game situations. It's a whole different type of challenge.

To clarify, apm is calculated based on the length the game would be if it were played on fastest speed. A 10 minute game played at normal speed (half the speed of fastest, I think) will be counted as 5 minutes long by BWChart, etc, resulting in double the apm.

9:30, 4 nexus, boy this is challenging
I'm torn between the "build gates first and then start massing" or "build gates and train at the same time".

What do you think is the best strategy for terran? I tried just massing barracks and making tons of scvs and marines, which is ok since you don't need to spend time getting gas, but I would imagine larger units could use up the supply faster. Idk, I suck at this though.
EDIT: New challenge, be the fastest to mine every mineral on bgh.

i got 8:54 with protoss first try =/ ima try again with terran this time
edit: got 9:17 with terran first try ><

vultures
its probably a variation of getting 2 expansions and massing from 9-10 factories, in whatever order you think is best
