i should be available anytime on the weekend, but on Thursdays I have class some time. my time preference is evening-ish since I usually don't show up for morning or early afternoon stuff.

Friday I'm out of town chasing some tail, and Sunday I'm out of town at the Renaissance Festival. So if I had to do it, it would be on Saturday, but during the later parts of the day. I have a 3 hour drive to get back home Sat =/

Sounds like saturday evening will be the best for everyone, works for me, so long as we don't start too terribly late.
One thing I'd like for us to do, is have some replays ready, so if you'd all like to provide 1 replay of one of your most recent games, win or lose.
In this game I want you to have a solid plan, early, mid and late game, predetermined before the game even starts, consider this your build, and we will be discussing how your build went, what you decided to do, why and how your build may or may not deviate through out the game.
I'll be proving one of my newest 3 hatch before gas builds, and I'd like to see what you guys can provide, and we'll pick the most interesting ones for Saturday.

If I ever get a decent game that isn't against zerg that is....Man am I out of practice, please no one look at my recent match history, it's really embarrassing.

unfortunately I haven't played in like a month and a half so I don't think I'll have a replay for you guys on hand. maybe one of you can just grab another replay in my place? xp
i'll look forward to this, it does sound rather fun, as Lollipop said.

I've been doing an interesting opener as toss with 2 gate early zealot pressure (almost an all in, but I'm tweaking it to not be), it sucks complete a** against terran, but does fantastic against zerg, especially if they fast expand. With PvP it forces them to get fast cannons, or pull lots of probes. I usually transition into a fast expand with dual stargate into carriers with gateway support.
It works pretty damn well, and I'm just refining the timings and whatnot with it. I'm probably going to have to scrap the build vs terran though, since it doesn't really seem that great. Considering all they have to do is stutter step and it ruins the early zealot pressure. It wrecks low level terrans who can't do such a thing though.

Sounds like an excellent submission, it will give us something to talk about: why it works so well against zerg, and protoss, and why it doesn't work against terran, or how it can be tweaked so that it can work against terran.

I'll see if I can't get any more games in tonight versus zerg. Most of them are just not that great of players. So it makes it that much easier to kill them off. I'd have to do it later in the day (at least after like noon or 1 central). I'm 3 hours out of town friday, and have to make the trip back saturday. So, I'd have to ofc be here for it. I'll post up some replays in my thread if it has to be early on and I can't make it. I could already tell you some basics about it, and why I do certain things in the opener. But I'll just save those for the discussion =p. But there are probably many other factors that I don't see (as I'm only one person and have one perspective on the game) that others could help dissect the opener and build order I do. I actually had a pretty good game today in a pvz, was something like 38 mins long. I lost, and I know why, but I hate why I lost. v_v (It had a more standard opener though, because he was random, and I didn't want to do my normal opener on a terran should he have rolled it)

apparently I am so bad, that I quit games I've already won....
I don't even remember quitting, I'm so used to losing that after seeing a GG go up, I just instinctively leave the game.... Oh well, I think I have my game for sunday unless I can get a better one in sometime tomorrow.

Oh well, I think I have my game for sunday unless I can get a better one in sometime tomorrow. That sucks lol. I always wait till my opponent leaves. Even when they gg, I keep going at it like I'm playing, because they may just say it and not leave. Either way, I posted a bunch with minor descriptions, some of the maps the little link displays are wrong, so I might be looking for another replay site. Either way, in case I'm not here -> http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?page=1&t=20805337#321283093

I made it home not too long ago, and just saw the announcement about 7pm CST. That' would be fine, I'm willing to do it earlier should we all be here and able to. I'm taking ~1 hr nap right now though lol.

I wont be making it. My computer has been dead for the past week (I'm on the PS3 now). I have the replacement parts picked out but I don't anticipate buying them soon. Who knows when I'll be back. ):
And of course this happens right after I get promoted. When I get back I'm gonna be so outta practice I'm gonna get demoted again. Mother ********. mad
