Rules for editing:
1- This is EVERYONE's project. Just help a little now and then, and when there are hundreds of people in TLnet community, this little community project will grow to something nice.
2- PREVIEW before updating. Back up the code BEFORE AND AFTER editing in case someone else updates right when you do, thus erasing your data.
3- If you see a TLPD VOD, please add it to the tree. If there is no branch for that build order, make one. Also, please add EXEnotes or edit the EXEnotes if you feel you have a good grasp of the idea behind the build.
4- Also feel free to add a build order branch without knowing a VOD. Other people may eventually put a VOD in.
5- Please try to keep the coding organized. If people add things haphazardly, things will get messy a bit quickly unfortunately.
6- Please don't mess up my account. There isn't much here... and if you do change the password, a lot of people will be angry at you.
7- When you update something, please post a message so people can know and migrate to marvel at your new work. (And so we know that the tree is actually growing)

Example Branch:
ZERG: 3 HATCH: --> TOSS: FE: --> ZERG: 4gasmutasunk: --> TOSS: Archon + goon:

Hi all. If this idea has been mentioned before, or if people don't like it, please just don't post and the topic will sink down into oblivion.

I thought it would be nice to index the different possible things that can happen in any matchup, and put all of them in one place. For each thing that can happen, we can have a youtube link (or a few) that gives examples of pro gamers in that situation in the TLPD.

I'd like to start with ZvP because it is in my opinion, the most lovely matchup. Blow is the "strategy tree". Beneath each strategy, I hope to post youtube links of that thing happening in a game... so people can learn from it. I don't have all the TLPD references yet, but if other people like watching TLPD, I'm hoping this can be a kind of chip-in-as-u-go sort of thing.

Also, please let me know if I am missing any parts on the strategy tree

ZERG: 3 HATCH:
(TLPD Examples) + Show Spoiler +

Notes on Execution + Show Spoiler +

12 Overlord, 12 Hatch, 11 pool, 14 hatch, then overlord and extractor asap. Should add 2-6 zerglings for killing scout and scouting. Should also add X number of sunks.

Idea is slower tech than 1 or 2 hatch, but with econ advantage. 2nd extractor typically goes up after lair finishes, but if opponent doesn't pressure, can mass drones and put 2nd extractor up earlier for more gas.

Use [ ] instead of < > for spoilers.

In the mean time if you have any suggestions about what should be included or how this should operate, post them in this thread.

Good idea dude. Although you will obviously have to include all matchups.

Honestly, I am not familiar with matchups besides ZvT and ZvP. I wonder if there is some way to make this into a wikipedia-like project so everyone can chip in a little in their own area of expertise, and after they see a TLPD game they really like, to just add it to the index.

I would absolutely love this. As a beginner it's hard to get to a competitive level this late in the game's course. There almost needs to be formal lessons. This would be a terrific thing for Beginners though.

I very much approve.

Unfortunately, this is a HUGE task. It looks like it would suck to do. But filling it in a bit at a time wouldn't be too bad, and it would fill up relatively quickly after a few weeks worth of pro games.

It'd probably be as simple as setting up a wiki and giving an example format. There's so much knowledge in the strategy forum it's a shame it isn't published in one super starcraft strategy/data index.

The only problem with doing this on wiki is that wiki doesn't allow spoiler tags. So here is how we will make This thread into a wiki.

So hear ye hear ye, write a note and add your favorite strategy starting now. Let everyone chip in to make TLnet the best, newest, and most ingenious strategy guide ever to grace this planet. Whenever you watch anything new on TLPD, feel free to add it into the strategy tree, and add notes. If there is no branch, make one.

Back up the code before editing.

I want this in TLnet rather than some other webpage. the community feel is more important than gaining a little more ease-of-use.

Besides, Wikipedia doesn't have spoilers. We could list out all the build orders in a list without using spoilers... but that would get too huge. We could also make a special webpage for it, but that would take away from the easy-to-edit-by-everyone wikipedia feel and the community feel.

If this takes off really well, I could imagine someone writing some javascript to make it prettier and easier to do. Even wikipedia started out small =)

I think most other people would rather have it be another site. One thread can get very unorganized very fast, especially when multiple people have access to the administrative forum account. It could just be a wikipedia index with team liquids name on it if they want to sponsor it.

I urge you not to do this. Not that I don't have faith in your abilities and dedication, but without a huge group of skilled moderations, a system open to anyone to edit just won't work. We are working on something similar to this endorsed by Team Liquid. It would be silly to have two of the same project going. Plus I think you're jumping into this way too fast without dealing with the problems that will arise first.

Then again, if you want to have an open sourced one and we will have the Team Liquid one, I guess you're free to go ahead.
