EDIT: typo Another tool jca made was replays with audio. It wasn't the first commentating, as some people did it with audio files synced with replays, but his program fused an ogg audio file and the replay together. It was really cool. Tiamat was one of the first rwa makers. | ||

Kind of cool little history fact if it's indeed where APM was born. EDIT: Reading other posts, JCA, a TL member, was the inventor. Thank you, sir, I raise my glass with the others  You made me self-conscious about how fast I spam stuff  . Man, this place is a minefield..... Yeah that was pretty interesting, seeing it go through all the names until it finally turned to APM. JCA- the person that launched a thousand bans. and BWchart. | ||

U sure that's the first occurance of APM? seems fairly common since bwchar's out they do already record actions/minute so there's mph, rpm, ect ect, apm is bound to happen isn't it? It might be possible it originated independently across the web. We need a crawler to find the oldest mention of APM in the entire internet! OO edit: but Ah you did bwchart, so then I think you DO have the best handle on the subject. Okay, I think you're right. | ||

Still, I read the well written post in about 30 seconds and saw the mod's edit before I saw the first three pages of bans... it wasn't very difficult. Another 30 seconds after that, I googled "Starcraft JCA" and found a whole bunch of tools and crap he worked on. It wasn't very difficult to see that this wasn't a razer ad, or a question, it was a statement about TL's and JCA's impact on the starcraft community... yet 15 pages later, people still don't get it. JCA, even though I wasn't huge into BW and I never used any of your tools, a 30 seconds search revealed to me you've done so much for the community as a whole, and have helped shape the starcraft 2 community today that I so much enjoy. Thanks to you and the rest of the TL community, and hopefully we at TL can continue to shape the future of starcraft. Cheers. | ||
