i really don't care about post counts.

neither should you.

as far as reputation -

i've been with starcraft since it's concept stage perhaps in the 1990's. i've known Blizzard since it published Lost Vikings. i held worldwide ranking in several games, including Diablo II during the first season. i've beta tested games you've never heard of, i've lived in Korea for two years and seen the big boys play StarCraft albiet on tv while in Korea. i led a warcraft iii:tft clan in korea.

i wouldn't rank my StarCraft playing ability as stellar, however during my active period prior and up to 2001 my win percentage in 3v3 was 85% or higher.

my solo ranking was considerably less, considering finding 1v1 opponents became difficult after 2003.

i was with you guys in Sept 2000 [edit Sept 2001] hearing what most of us heard that day from some newbie logging into battle.net.

"OMG, planes hit the world trade center".

it was utter chaos that day, and through it all there we were online, chatting away, some of us watching the news, others bring in reports, and there were the few that we all calmed down.

i spent the next five years playing counterstrike, warcraft iii, and living overseas (not military).

i logged into starcraft sometime in 2006 and it was a whole another world. all the channels filled with unreadable text from some other language, and players that didn't chat, didn't even really play any more - just running some latest tactic they must have seen on a replay.

my starcraft CD cracked. my warcraft iii CD cracked.

starcraft 2 is way overdue. it's so overdue even the diehard fans are somewhat unexcited until they actually see it. was it that way for the original starcraft? we played starcraft for hours on end, and it never got old.

it's a joke - i search for starcraft 2 sites and i find about a half dozen sites for what is probably one of the biggest games of the decade.

well - there you have it Lemonwalrus - the short story of Sparkwind.

No you weren't. Nothing happened that day.


EDIT: But ya, I have a similar story. I played a ton of SC when it first came out and loved it. I thought I was really good. I come back in 2006 and its a whole different game anywhere you play online.

And yes...SC2 is way overdue

asserting a false statement like

"No. you weren't. Nothing happened that day."

brings the HELLSTORM on you.

you weren't with me that day.

you probably thought you were good, who doesn't.

my numbers show 85% win rate which is in fact better than most.

because i say that my play was less than stellar, does not indicate in way that you are better. you played a ton of SC - well that's probably where my 85% win ratio came from. from players that went around saying that they play tons of SC and that they are so good that they can come around making false assertions about a person's life experiences.

don't try buddying up with me by saying that something i experienced didn't happen.

how about this:

you weren't born buddy. nothing happened that day.

you didn't write any comment on my blog. nothing happened on that day either.

Ok, 3 blogs by the same person on the first page.

This is very quickly going to get worse than SiegeTanksAndBlueGoo.

EDIT: 4 now.

God damn, I give up. I scanned the whole blog section with no luck, maybe I just passed over it somewhere. You deserve credit for hiding it so well.

Good job!

it's an introduction. don't care so much for it, well thanks for introducing yourself. other than that, nice to meet you as well.

We're all commiting strategic errors. The right play in this situation is surrender - it is an option.

After all, he's gonna win the argument in the end ._.

Don't listen to this 40 post count newb. He will lead you astray!

The only way to salvation is to post things like "qtf" and "lol" and "OMG JAEDONG BWONJAW" at least 2000 times. Anyone who has not passed this test(this may be known as the virtual circumcision) must not be married into the promised race. Furthermore, we must not bless our posts with idols, as to worship idols is to worship demons.
