How to defeat terran power ... a bit of luck and lots of spitefulness

As mentioned before, spitefulness breeds EVIL, which can be described as doing the unthinkable, resulting in maximum damage for your opponent. Today, we shall look at a few things one can do to maximise his EVILNESS. For team A, we have Druggy (red zerg) and YC (brown toss) while for team B, we have GAME (teal terran) and Razbo (purple terran).

Early on, we have Druggy pulling a fast expansion at about 3 minutes into the game. However, given that team B (the "terrans") do not have much troops, attacking Druggy early on was not an option (see below). As we move into the 4th minute into the game, the combined zerg and toss forces of team A attempted a quick incursion into teal territory, but teal terran held his ground well and quickly disperse the pesky invaders (see below). Everything was by the book as they were attempts by both teams to harass thier each other.

However, all this change as we enter the 7th minute of the game. Since brown toss did not go for an early expansion, this allowed YC to assemble a sizable amount of goons. As YC's forces linger about here and there, by chance, Raz's barracks was afloat to allow troops movement. This provided the perfect opportunity for YC to pull a DT (see below). This was very fatal for Raz because SCVs were forced to fight goons in hand-to-hand (not advisable as this is very painful). Thus, the first point on maximising evilness is demonstrated by YC ... "Opportunitiy comes but once, so make full use of it"

Razbo, being Razbo is a fighter to the end and with whatever remaining resources, somehow manage to muster two siege, gunning at Druggy's expansion. However, the ever wise druggy was teching even before the siege run by Razbo. Without panicking, calmly Druggy then spawns five mutas and rushes to the ledge to make mince meat of the siege attack (see below). This time, Druggy shows us how to maximise evilness ... "When your opponent learn how to crawl, you learn how to run"

This turnaround promptly put the duo terrans, GAME and Razbo an alert as they hurriedly rush up their air defense. However, Razbo was at a slight disadvantage given the early DT by YC. Furthermore, the sly YC somehow manage to slip an observer into Raz's territory and discover that Raz is quite open to air assault and Druggy smartly move his five mutas into Raz's mineral line and start wreaking havoc (see below). There was so little time for Razbo to act that he was pretty much screwed. Another important point we can pick up on maximising evilness from YC and Druggy is to "Strike while the iron is still hot".

Two DTs in a row really hampered Raz and as Druggy and YC maintain thier motto of striking while the iron is hot, this soon forced Razbo to abandon his HQ and rely only on his natural expansion. The cards are noe decked in favour of Druggy and YC as GAME had to spent quite a number of troops in helping Raz secure his natural expansion. The very last effort in maximising evilness comes close to the end of the game where tons of Druggy's guardians and YC's goons (see below) attacks GAME with such numbers that quickly put put any hopes of comeback from the terran forces, GAME and Razbo. Nothing much can be said except Druggy and YC proudly declared to the losers ... "THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"

Thus, for today's battle, the almighty terran power was soundly defeated by well coordinated EVILNESS and once again SPITEFULNESS PREVAILS ...

Chronicles of YC : Blood feud .... Disconnection king ... SPITEFUL ??!!

We continue from where we last left ... spitefulness. We have explained that 419ers are governed by spitefulness, for each and every battle, spite and evil is required. As inevitable result of this is the start of a blood feud and for today we shall study in details the actions leading to a blood feud

The battle in question is a two on two battles played on Neo Harmony (Ob). For team A, we have YC-red terran and GAME-orange terran and for team B, we have Druggy-green zerg and Raz-teal protoss. Team A starts in the west, with YC occupying the top left and GAME in the bottom. As for team B in th east, Raz is at the bottom right while Druggy starts the top right. Firstly, for now, lets concentrate on a spectacular tactical showcase by both teams.

Amazingly, early into the battle, there was not any evil incursion by either parties and everything was as usual, the usual built-up of troops, the scouting and so forth. However, at around 7.5 minutes into the battle, YC starts the first skirmish by sending a contingent of marines/medics and a siege (see above). As usual, YC attempts to shoot from far (this is borderline spite, which is quite acceptable) but his effort were cut short by a combined counter from Raz and Druggy (see below)

This galvanise everyone into defcon 1 mode and soon GAME and YC prepared a larger mix of marines, medics and tanks to assault Druggy and Razbo. YC was gunning for Druggy while GAME has his eyes on Razbo (see above). As usual, YC made the first move while GAME was slightly slower in pushing into Razbo's territory. Decisively, Razbo and Druggy consolidates and decide to take out GAME (see above) and given his slower march, a two prong attack might split his forces. This prove effective and as soon as GAME was routed, Druggy and Razbo move north to ambush YC (see below)

Back to square one, both teams starts amassing much bigger armies. However, this time around, YC and GAME sees the advantages of merging thier armies and proceed to to do. However, the sly Razbo had earlier inserted an observer close to GAME's HQ and while GAME's troops move north, Razbo sent a squad of fast moving zealots and goons to attack GAME's HQ. This force GAME to re-deploy back to his main while YC's forces is left to face Druggy alone (see below)

It was a noble effort by Razbo and Druggy but the armies of GAME and YC came out better and they both respectively repel the blitz by Razbo and Druggy. Having successfully countered the blitz, its back to pushing for YC and GAME. Razbo and Druggy attempts the same dual attack on GAME but this time GAME was more well entrenched and all his forces single handedly took on Razbo and Druggy (see below). This provided a golden opportunity for YC to waltz right into Druggy's HQ and start his rampage (see below).

The damage Druggy took was too much and is pretty much crippled for the rest of the game. Meanwhile, after the initial dual attack by Razbo and Druggy, GAME had to regroup his forces, which bought time for Razbo to bring out his ultimate counter ... "Stealth Storm" (see below). Well, you might be wondering now, after several paragraphs, you ask " What the hell has this got to do with blood feud ??!! ". While GAME and Razbo were building and attacking each other, though Druggy had cast the white flag, suddenly YC decides to perform a coutinuous stabbing on a 101% dead person (Reason ... overlord spying, malicious, seriously we don't know, see picture below)

After witnessing an early to mid elegant attrition warfare, out of the blue, the spite-o-meter flew off the scale. Was this premeditated, a grudge from previous battles or just a bomb waiting to happen. Well, the author will stick to his argument ... IT IS in our blood to be SPITEFUL. And behold, bing bang, spitefulness is back in full force as seen below when Raz pulls a smart storm at GAME's entrance. GAME, exhausted by the pounding of Raz's might, is soon crippled (see below)

As we enter the final stage, more spitefulness is to follow. Inspired by druggy's untimely death and the spite-o-meter running high, this motivated Raz to pull another EVIL attack on YC. Smartly and steadily, Razbo flies his arbiter right smack in YC's supply gathering and start to pulverize the workers (see below). But, YC being YC, responds well and counters Raz's stealthy recall push.

This time, YC camps with Raz prowling in the middle looking for a loophole. YC soon amass a good squad of siege and four dropships were soon sighted. Will YC be able to perform his EVIL attempt or will Razbo goon squad make another miracle recall push (see below). This was the climax, the pinnacle, the final countdown BUT ... WITHOUT WARNING ... YC dropped off. Dang, YC disconnected before orgasm, what a spoiler !!. One has to wonder ... what about the blood feud, how is it going to end. Well, we cannot predict the future, but we definitely can take bets ....place your bets, gentlemen ... and rest assured, the BLOOD FEUD and SPITEFULNESS will continue.

Spitefulness, its never enough !! We want MOAR SPITE !!!

Today we look at a simple gang bang on a poor chap. So, one wonders, what has this got to do with spitefulness. Well, PLENTY …, from the very start of the game, each and every action by players reeks of spitefulness, its a never ending cycle of malicious tit-for-tat. Here, lets look at this short two on two but with generous amount of spitefulness.

We have blue zerg (GAME), allied with teal toss (Druggy) against yellow terran (Raz) and white toss (YC). So, two and half minutes into the game, who started the ball rolling in spitefulness? It was none other then the so called “tribal chieftain” of 419, the Razbo. Somehow, by some god-hand micro, deftly Raz enters GAME's HQ with nothing but a worker (see picture below)

AND, somehow by another micro, Raz manages to slay a drone in front of his comrades, in broad daylight, right at their workplace (behind the mineral patch) and by some devious magic, Raz escapes. One word … EVIL (Another interesting concept, is this the result of spitefulness, we shall leave this for future discussion). One can imagine Raz's expression when he pulled that off, maybe something like below.

Is GAME going to stay silent and watch such evil be forgiven. Obviously NO, he calls two of his best sniffers, two loyal but very vicious zerglings. GAME's resolve was pure and simple revenge … “Go my brave padawans, sniff out the DAMN worker and leave no evidence”, and rightfully GAME got his revenge (see below).

Now on the other side, Druggy has manage to gather a small detachment of 2 lots and 3 goons in an attempt to harass the white toss, YC. However, YC being YC, manages to defend his ground and stop the assault. A short clam follows, and now YC starts his spite engine running. With two corsairs, YC decides to brave zerg base to go on some overlord hunting (see below).

However, as we know in SC, not all spiteful attempt will succeed. This time, GAME manage to scare them away … and what do you know … now GAME decides to pull a DT on Raz but the tribal chieftain manage to shrug off the attack. Then, without warning, totally unexpected, as both sides ramps up their spitefulness, YC DROPS OFF !! (This is still being debated today, is this to inspire spite, to frustrated by spite, level 99 EMP spite attack on YC. Sadly, we will never know, you will need to refer to Chronicles of YC and hopefully get an answer)

Druggy, missing the action on spitefulness and suffering a failed assault totally is not satisfied with such a cowardly feigned “disconnection” option. With little options, Druggy does the necessary spiteful attack on a YC long gone, its like stabbing someone already dead 101% (see below). Sometimes, this is the only consolation for those who need to relieve their “spitefulness” (We will leave this for further discussion in the future, all 419-ers have encountered experience of continuous stabbing even after they are 102% dead)

This sudden turn of event bode ill news for Razbo, who now must go on the defensive. The first attempt of a classic 2 v 1 “spitefulness” is seen below where a stealthy Druggy with a reaver drop in the mineral patch, accompanied by a flotilla of GAME's muta at the front gate. Raz, the receiving of such spitefulness would feel something like …. getting a punch in your face and a kick in the crotch simultaneously …, (ohhh the pain … kekekekeke).

The rest is history, as Raz keeps defending, both Druggy and GAME keeps building and teching. Soon, an army of goons and guardians are soon at Raz doorstep, nothing much to be said of such one sided gang bang. Then again, this is pretty much textbook “spitefulness” at its peak, overkill is good. If there is one message GAME and Druggy can send to Raz, it would below ...
