Whoever wants them - you can download the PDFs here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19452604/IntroP1nP4_german.pdf http://dl.dropbox.com/u/19452604/IntroP2nP3_german.pdf If you find any misspelling or ANY errors (size, fonts, whatever): Tell me and I'll fix'em ! If you want the PSDs: contact me (will probably answer faster via email or facebook page) Thanks again to Rampager & ausproleague. Great job, guys!

There was a lot of interested looks and people definitely seemed to appreciate them but I didn't plan too well how I'd receive feedback from people there. I saw people read them front to back, and I saw people give up after the first page and turn to their friends. People have pointed out some valid criticisms in this thread that may have something to do with that. Overall... It was an okay success. We're fairly busy now with other ideas + our lives (damn you Uni!), so I leave the task of improving on this idea to someone else I may try something else later down the line.

-Exalt- United States972 Posts March 14 2012 02:38 GMT #145 Awesome I really think you should include definitions for all the slang we use, such as; Turtle, APM, Tank, DPS, and other stuff like that (I know there is a lot more). Also, might want to describe some of the various upgrades in the game and put them into context. For example, if a commentator says "+1 is about to finish" a new player would have no idea what that means.. but if you describe how units can be upgraded in different ways ie attack, utility (zergling "speed", blink) then they will be able to understand a huge factor of what commentators say.

Crownlol United States3726 Posts March 27 2012 20:49 GMT #148 I printed this last night and showed it to a girl I'm dating who's never heard of Starcraft before. After going through it with her for maybe 5-10 minutes, we watched Ret vs. Naniwa- by game 2, she got what was going on, was remarking on things in-game ("Oh gosh! Those 'ling' bugs are so fast!"), and had chosen a player she wanted to win the series ("Naniwa - protoss have such pretty buildings!") Pretty great work, I might have to print one out of photo stock and keep it in the office.
