One of my first so not one of my best:

Found it. Watched it. Liked it!

WOW! I've been casted, and I didn't even know it! Thanks Zaphod. I really enjoyed playing this game. Even now, I pull out the replay and watch it again just for fun . I can't believe I managed to pull that off! You can't imagine the elation from surviving such punishment, and yet still pulling off a stunt like that. Not bad for a noob game. I threw everything into the gamble on that SCU. I was under-spamming, over powered (for SCU), and living off reclaim and veterancy. It was a 1:1,000,000 game.

I went into the game with that crazy idea, and a special build order taylored to getting the early power to achieve it. Mind you: My conclusion was that this could never work against a more skilled opponent. So the strategy game test was a fail. But the result was awesome (and only because of RedQuad's mistakes).

Thanks for the cast. I really like your presentation style, and you picked up on many things I never realised. Thanks

(Funny) While playing a game, constantly 'sing' (type out lyrics to a song) while playing. song must not be vulgar/offensive, and you must have to average about 3-4 sentences per minute. This can be very objective about sentence length, ect. But the main idea is that the player spends half of their time singing.

I used to do that in GPG matches... My favorite song was "Mary had a Little Lamb". Some people got really upset. But there was one guy who actually joined in the song! that was awesome. He was drunk tho.

The first challenge is to make an SCU, with a least once upgrade that you will use, and win the game. (it's more awesome if he get the kill).
The replay will be dismissed if you clearly outmatching your enemy (ie. a noob entering the system).

Reward is a unique SCU avatar of your choice !

I did that one too, in GPG back in 2009. With 3599 Patch.

It was an awesome game. Essentially, I played 1v1 ranked on Sytris Major. My strategy was to hunker down in my base, and capture the Quantum Gate in the middle of the map. I had an SCU with the gun upgrade at about the 20 minute mark. By which time he was still spamming mantis... That single unit turned the tide against the Mantis spam, an marched all the way into his base and captured his factories.

It was funny as all hell. I was rolling on the floor laughing even as I played it. I will see if I can find a working link... Do I get an avatar ZeP?

Yes this could be funny, but it's to difficult. If the opponent knows your strategy then it's easy to defend.

I hope that these continue much longer throughout FAF, I sadly lack the time to get some awesome avatars, If you guys dont mind, might I recommend a few?

Win a 5x5 with only one land factory, and the rest all air. Only defensive structure use.

Win a ladder map with ONLY your ACU, You may build structures, PD, Flak, ect, but no tanks. Offensive structure use allowed, permitted its built from the ACU

Snipe an enemy commander in one pass with t1 bombers.

Win a game using only LABS (sorry sera ) ghetto gunships are ok to use. AA and interceptors are also allowed. No PD creep.

Tech rush- You must upgrade all of your starting mass to T2 before moving out of your starting base to attack. You may expand and reclaim outside of your general starting area, but may not fight outside of your base until all mass you started with is t2.

Win a game where you are only allowed to make T2 attacking units.

Capture an enemy engineer, and kill the enemy ACU with their own factions units(IMPORTANT). You can still attack before you have captured their engineer.

Win a game where you only use offensive structures to attack.

I hope you enjoyed my ideas, I feel that most of them are practical, achievable, yet still difficult enough to deserve an award, and none of them require you to drag out a game to the very late stages. Feel free to (nicely) point out any stupid ideas I proposed. If I was unclear about any challenges, feel free to (nicely) yell my way to ask whats up.
GL HF ALL!!!

i so hope for that xD

I'd like to see the challenges come back as well, perhaps we will need a challenge manager due to Zep spending most of his time on bigger fish than challenges.

Can I still get an avatar for not using ACU on ladder map???

Map: Desert Arena

My ACU stayed in the starting position the entire game. Only rotating to assist. No shots fired. No use of legs.

If I may make a suggestion for the avatar. I believe it should be a snorlax and when you hover over it says immobile.
