Tarik's Battle Notebook

This collection of my wins is posted to show off some of my finest victories. After all what is the point of winning if you don't get to brag about it. I acknowledge that many of my games were won by luck, and most of the people I beat could easily beat me (or already have). However, that's just too bad...


About Me:

I am long time TAO player who originated on Great Lakes server in about December, 2004. And I was one the first (relatively) people on legends forums. I prefer to play freestyle, but will occasionally turtle.

My Accounts:

Tarik Keyhand, Ashneir, God's Own Sling, Bad Neighbor

Tarik Keyhand and Ashneir are original names created by me to have a sort of fantasy feel. God's Own Sling and Bad Neighbor are the names of two trebuchets used in the Crusades which I found to be intimidating.


My Notable Victories:
(First Post Kept Updated and Alphabetized)

)_Predator_(
http://img212.imageshack.us/img212/3...edator2gy2.jpg
A opposite side single gold game, I won by slaughtering his Dragon on the way down to kill the cleric. I believe this is my second victory over him, but I must have lost the s/s...

*EXILE*
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/4...erexileim7.jpg
I took this ancient s/s as a demostration on how to take a s/s, but it turns out that now *EXILE* is quite good so I guess I'll show it off. I believe I won with a nice poison of most of his units. He tried to mudquake but that just hurt his men.

Pwnz0red by 8... thank you very much. I don't usually brag so much, but AFO talks the trash, as well as usually pwnz0ring me.

andyliu1
http://img55.imageshack.us/img55/832...ndyliu1ii1.jpg
I believe he said this was his very first gold game... not much to brag about then...

Answer
http://img120.imageshack.us/img120/5...sanswerfc4.jpg
Here's me pwning a 1300+ 2 frost, 2 cleric, BR, grey from The White Dynasty. I was using a variation of one of Override's grey rushes with a mud. It was opp sides so I was pretty worried. I assassin bombed one of his knights my 2nd move. Then I started an attack on his frosts, I was about to kill one when he surrendered.

Angel 17 (2)
http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/6...angel17iz7.jpg
Very close game. My blocking was horrible though... plus a misclick. At the end it was my frost vs his knight and somehow I won. I don't know if it was because he made a bad move or because thats how it works, but I felt I deserved this win anyway.
http://img49.imageshack.us/img49/351...ngel172ft7.jpg
My anti-rush vs his opp side one sided rush. I quite good in these sort of games if I must say so... oh, and look who just hit 1500.

baillargeone
http://img131.imageshack.us/img131/6...argeoneat1.jpg
Grey --> Gold
I really hate it when golds jump me... but I guess its understandable if they're this bad.

Bobcat
http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/4...rbobcatcn0.jpg
My highest rated opponent... he was ranked number one because at the time the other top accounts were inactive. I had a turtle in by accident and amazingly Bobcat's one side rush was on the opposite side... If I hadn't played Spit in a turtle game earlier I probably would have been crushed.

Brutalinski

http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/7...alinskilx3.jpg
A single gold game... stupid idiot got a 1% block, but still a fairly easy win.

Cambyman63
http://img300.imageshack.us/img300/3...byman63mc7.jpg
Not that amazing of a player, but one of my few wins on a single gold... I suppose I better find some wins more interesting than this.

Chegnocca
http://img508.imageshack.us/img508/3...egnoccank0.jpg
So, I have decided Chegnocca is a bigger n00b then I thought. Knowing he's been calling himself the anti-rush king I put in balanced form with a stone golem that I actually use as an anti-rush. He's using a centered form. He takes his scout and hits my cleric, then gets a side block. Then he sacrifices his scout for my cleric. I build up an attack and kill his frost and was about to kill his cleric. Then he says I'm a terrible player and should have beat him by more. Honestly... you get a lucky block, still lose, and then try to tell me I'm terrible player.

chiefst
http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/6...chiefstwm5.jpg
My single gold crushes this 2 BR form... I had his two BRs retreated to the back in the first few turns. Than his mud had to retreat, and then his GA. Now thats how you anti-rush.^^ After he healed up, he started to attack again. I brought a counter attack and both our clerics died. I killed his frost and pwned it up. Before the game he told me to "bring it"... well... he can consider it "brought".

El Cid
http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/882...erelcidkt3.jpg
This game I had a rush in against El Cid's defensive turtle. Very close game... I am amazed how he accepts open challenges.

elimination (2)
http://img481.imageshack.us/img481/8...inationqt1.jpg
http://img245.imageshack.us/img245/7...nation2vm9.jpg
These games were from the NJ12 vs SF Elite war. I was signed up (against my will) for FPS freestyle games. For the first match I was very unsure of what to expect. I used a rather basic one scout one-sided rush. The game was opp side and I was feeling things weren't going to go to well. But luckily, I got some major blocks, and also some more blocks and pulled out a victory. For the second game I decided to put in a two scout defensive turtle. I was rather confident elimination wouldn't be using a rush, and luckily this was also an opp side game. I stoned up and basically killed his mud and scouts, and then started to use my frost to get the win. Good deal... SF Win

Escape
http://img79.imageshack.us/img79/184...sescapecm1.jpg
I beat down a nejak grey with some better drops then me... He wasn't too happy when I got a front shot on his scout on the end to put the game in the bag, but seriously, I thought I had the advantage even if it blocked.

Fortune
http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/8...fortunevm0.jpg
A close freestyle game. Nothing exciting to tell about though.

foxx
http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/9...verfoxxuf1.jpg
A very good player... I really hate frosts.

gamlet
http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/5...rgamletqa8.jpg
<Judgewhat?>
My first meeting with one from Judgement... Even though gamlet is grey it was a very important battle for me. He mentioned something about me being on their hitlist, but I never learned if that was true. The game started out slow, but then I took my stoned units and went after his frosts. Soon my armored people just took over... A very big win for me.

Ghetto TKD
http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/412...ettotkdsd2.jpg
Grey --> Gold
You would think a 1500+ double gold would be better... I guess jumping greys leads to embarrassing moments. My grey is rather humorous, eh?

IRUNOVERKIDSINMYVAN (2)
http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/349...rkidsinwp9.jpg
http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/415...rkidsinqm9.jpg
Two freestyle Legends Grand League games... as I remember my scout got a ton of blocks both games that tipped the games in my favor. That does seem to happen to me...

King Cold'
http://img299.imageshack.us/img299/8...ingcoldsw5.jpg
A freestyle game where I was testing a pathetic form. I thought Cold' had the game locked up but he made a dumb move with his frost or perhaps a misclick and I was able to win.

Legends_Predator
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/4...redatorii7.jpg
A freestyle game, L_P tried using 3 frosts but it didn't work out for him. As you can see he accused me of being a... *ahem* "LUCKY PUNK ASS", but amazingly this was one game I don't think I had much luck, except for maybe hitting his scout from the side (thats really rare). This is my second win over him. My first was one of the first gold vs gold games I ever played but I didn't know how to take s/ss back then. I think he might be a tad mentally unstable... you never know...

Lilof
http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/586...vslilof8ue.jpg
<Judgewhat?>
Chalk up another win for my single gold. Almost a flawless... but my cleric was finally killed. Tsk tsk tsk...

Loofy
http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/5...erloofyud2.jpg
A freestyle Legends Grand League games, I don't know if he was any good, but since I have the s/s you get to look at it... enjoy.

lord_alden
http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/2...rdaldenfe0.jpg
Gypsy gets pwnt like KU against ISU.

Lord White (4)
http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/763...rdwhitebd5.jpg
http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/145...dwhite2yk3.jpg
http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/555...dwhite3hj8.jpg
http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/850...dwhite4hh6.jpg
A nice stack of four wins over Lord White... three pretty old turtle games and one more recent freestyle game. Nice... eh? L Ward avatars are very shexy btw.

Losing Sucks (2)
http://img256.imageshack.us/img256/1...ngsuckswr1.jpg
Wow... I haven't played in like a month. Anyway this freestyle game went well. I got the formation advantage I was looking for. I took a risk sacrificing my DT for his scout, but it seemed to pay off. He left the arena right when his cleric was about to die. Man that sucks...
http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/1...gsucks2ur6.jpg
Another victory over Losing Sucks. Pretty much the exact same forms I think... and same result.

menace
http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/8...smenaceut1.jpg
A freestyle game... I started out pretty bad losing my cleric and frost to menace's rush. But with some nice blocks I was able to come out with a win.

McPhock
http://img77.imageshack.us/img77/978...mcphockhs1.jpg
I beat a decent player in a turtle game. Yep...

nL[Calamity]
http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/212...alamityip1.jpg
A very old turtle game, possibly before the rule change. My scout was about to kill his cleric when he left.

Orion
http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/5...vsorionag3.jpg
A single gold game. I thought I lost a big advantage I had from the formations, but I managed to hold on to win. He complimented me on my mad skills after I picked up a front hit on his knight... heh, not that it would have mattered.

PEPE
http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/1...rvspepexs3.jpg
I beat PEPE on my single gold. I quickly killed his cleric and scout and he left the arena though if his knights got good blocks he might have had a chance to win... but probably not.

Punishment (2)
http://img234.imageshack.us/img234/1...ishmentgd1.jpg
http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/263...shment2ju7.jpg
<Judgewhat?> (2)
Two freestyle Legends Grand Leauge games, I won the first game with a ton of luck, but the second game I believe was a fair victory.

Ragmorfe
http://img54.imageshack.us/img54/478...agmorfejo1.jpg
A turtle game... Hurray!

Satori
http://img170.imageshack.us/img170/7...ssatorihe8.jpg
This is perhaps my best strategical victory yet... I had a single gold anti-rush and Satori was using a double gold anti-rush/turtle with two frosts. Since he stoned, I knew defense wouldn't work so I was forced to attack. Somehow I was able to force my knights through to the enemy cleric, holding the frosts off with my scout.

S3RO
http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/3...kvss3rogj0.jpg
<Judgewhat?>
This was a tryout game for the Legends Freestyle Team. I had a favorable formation advantage, and once he gave up his scout, he surrendered.

s][nful
http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/318...vssnfulms0.jpg
S][nful was not happy with my offset stone golem position. I think I had some luck that game as well.

sinyong2
http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/9...inyong2jk0.jpg
In this freestyle game I put in a turtle formation as I was expecting to be playing Override as I thought it was his account, but it was nL[Calamity] instead. Luckily my turtle form had a solid advantage in this opp side game. I killed most of his ranged units and was going to freeze with my frost to victory when he left.

Smubeht
http://img76.imageshack.us/img76/863...smubehtdt4.jpg
This game was won mainly by errors from Smubeht. Letting me get my frost active was what killed him. At least I got some stats out of it...

'steven1256'
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1103/9201ou6.jpg
<Judgewhat?>
My third meeting and win over Judgement. This was a freestyle win before the rule change. I killed his cleric and then went on defense with my frost and furgon.

straightballindd
http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/6...tballinsn5.jpg
A freestyle game. I got a ton of nice blocks in the end game, but he did have a lot of blocks at the beginning.

T H C Blitz
http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/696...hcblitzzi7.jpg
<Judgewhat?>
A very big game for me. This was basically the first time I freestyled after the rule change. I got on at midnight and was challenged by T H C for a Legends Grand League. Everyone in the lobby was wishing T H C good luck which ticked me off, but hey, he needed it. He ended up d/cing but I clearly had advantage.

The Archon
http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/678...earchonym7.jpg
<Judgewhat?>
A freestyle game, my anti-rush does its job and chalks up another win over Judgement for me...

the.one (2)
http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/8...stheoneyz5.jpg
I was using my anti-rush and the.one had a sort of defensive power rush. Things were looking bad for me early, but the.one made some rather bad moves. Finally my frost took over... and I got some nice stats.
http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/9...theone2ga1.jpg
A very close freestyle game. I was worried I was playing too offensively at first, and the.one got his frost in action. I had to bring my DT down kill it with my mud. My defences were shattered, but I had a bigger advantage going into the end game with my stone.

tyrant dragon666
http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/4...agon666iz2.jpg
~Flawless^^
First win in awhile. Not too exciting though I will consider it a flawless. <_<

Unit
http://img89.imageshack.us/img89/342...kvsunittd1.jpg
With some nice blocking luck I was able to pull out a freestyle win. Its rather sad I had to result to winning by luck since I felt I had the formation advantage. Basically I got outplayed, but luck saved me. This win was really needed, but I still seem to be in slump.

vasim (2)
http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/7...ervasimrd4.jpg
http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/100...rvasim2xb9.jpg
This guy ticked me off. The first game I heard he was trashing my clan so I put a one side rush in and pwned him. The second game was a turtle game.

Winner-Reborn
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/5...rrebornca0.jpg
<Judgewhat?>
My second win over Judgement and first over a gold. This was a freestyle game before the rule change where I killed the cleric... then retreated back to win.

xEaglex (2)
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/8...xeaglexty7.jpg
http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/1...eaglex2xg4.jpg
<Judgewhat?> (2)
Two freestyle wins for my anti-rush over Judgement...

X-FACTOR
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/9...xfactorbp8.jpg
A single gold vs rush w/ DSM game. An intense game. I thought it was going to end up a draw, but then he paralized one of my knights and I was forced to start an attack. I managed to kill his frost and cleric for my mud, scout, and a knight. I then was able to scrape out a win.

XXL
http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/6...ikvsxxlog2.jpg
~Flawless^^
My anti-rush dominates this freestyle game, but calling it a flawless is probably unfair... but thats just too bad.

YouDie
http://img53.imageshack.us/img53/401...syoudiebu4.jpg
<Judgewhat?>
A freestyle victory for my anti-rush... over Judgement. His knight got a block when it was 99% chance to hit. He was dead when he left the arena.

Zoo
http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/6...ikvszooxs5.jpg
My anti-rush vs his opp side one-sided rush. He sacrificed his scout to take out my stone's focus, and it went downhill for him from there. Man... I am so close to 1500 now.

Hey, old friend. You missed a sweet turtle tournament, which I'm sure you would have been able to enter. I'm in Judgewhat? now, so careful what you say.
