Welcome to the club Nightscare.
Few things, the girl in the avatar is not gogo, Winter.
The same girl does play in BR though, but it's not the girl in the avatar. I saw part 1 and 2 loads of times and I really loved them.

I love Stephen King books, and Winter. it's a very long serie (the dark tower one) and the first book is pretty much an intro to the rest of the series. So just live with it and continue to read the rest of the books, it's worth it.

Peace out

hmm I may consider buying some of the dark tower series,I was going to buy the 1st one but I bought his new book cell instead,I really enjoyed it! Though I still think his older novels are better. Would you recommend the dark tower series? I like stephen kings' style overall so I may like it I'm just not too sure what the series is about.

Ah, right. Thanks for pointing that out. I really must watch Battle Royale some time.

Okay, I'll look into it next time I'm at a library.

Speaking of books, I recommend my favourite book of all time, winner of the Man Booker Prize in 1989, The Remains of the Day. It's such a beautifully written story with really nice themes throughout. It was also made into a film starring Anthony Hopkins and Emma Thompson but I haven't seen it. Also, it has nothing to do with the horror genre.

Indeed, but how would you scout?

I mean teching up to Obs at once will leave me vulnerable for a rush and sending a probe will delay my income.

Send a probe to scout on the 9th or 10th supply. By the time you get to Terran's base you should see a barracks being built, head over to the gas geyser to see if a refinery is being built there. If not, warp in an assimilator and hope the Terran player does not leave the game; like I have on a few occassions. If it is in use then Terran probably won't go for two barracks. If it's not in use then run the probe around the base as long as you can and if Terran is going to build another barracks then you should see it, or you can guess if Terran will do so if you haven't stolen his gas and he's not getting a refinery.

Sometimes when my gas gets stolen I leave the game. I do this because I know I will lose later on, so I may as well leave now and have the result as a draw since gas stealing occurs within 2 minutes of the start.

Hmm yes, that never happened to me though. But sounds like a good plan though it will use a bit of my recources and the player I steal gas from will most likely destroy my assimilator, I think.

Nontheless it's a good plan that will work from time to time. Muchos grazias senior.


Furthermore... The rain is delayed until Monday ;_;
Stupid hot weather, so I'll still be tormented for a few more days.

If the starting positions are fairly far apart then it's safer to do this. You can also cancel the assimilator as it's about to be completed and then warp it back in, although you'll have to keep the probe alive for some time to do that, which can be pretty hard. But even if you don't, by the time Terran destroys the assimilator he'll be getting gas on around the 18th supply. Also, Terran isn't going to pull half of his SCVs off the minerals to kill it, he still needs a strong mineral flow so maybe he'll just use 2 SCVs and then marines as they come. The delay in gas makes it much more likely for a Terran player to play TvP as if it were TvZ, i.e. go 2/3 barracks M&M against you. I'd say it's more likely on close positions, e.g. 12 and 3 positions on LT.

Yeah, there have been thunderstorms where I live for the past few nights now, although during the day it's still quite hot and humid. However! Today it's feeling nice and cool, with a swift breeze coming in through the window.
