Starcraft 2 Scouting Guide

Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

Scouting is a huge part of the game that can easily give you the upper hand in a SC2 match. If you want to learn how to properly and effectively spy on your enemies, here are a couple of things you might want to learn. The first watcher unit that will be at your disposal will be a resource gather. No matter which race you are, you should start to spy on your enemies before you have your first offensive unit made. High level players usually send a resource harvester like a Probe, SCV or Drone to start observing as soon as they begin building their first supply. The reason that it is best to increase your map vision early is because you do not want to run into an offensive unit with your Probe, SCV or Drone before ever getting a chance to see what your enemies are building.

The objective of your first observer is to look for anything strange with their build order. For example, if there are no units within their, it usually means that they want to win the game fast. In this case, you will want to figure out a counter to defend against the horde coming your way. Keep in mind that by effectively spying on enemy base early, you will be able to build your units to counter appropriate and plan strategies to win accordingly.

Remember that you are not the only person spying. This means that your enemy will be spying on your base and putting together a counter according to what you are building inside your base. By spying as often as possible, you will be able to have constant updates on what your opponent is making. This means that if you are able to properly observe your opponent, you will be able to counter his counter for your units. Another reason why you want to check out your enemy’s base often is for weak points. For example, if you see that all of your enemies units are in one area, create a diversion to draw them out while flanking them in another spot. So by spying early and often, you will have complete knowledge of what your enemy is thinking and planning. This will give you the upper hand, which will result in a win.

How Attending Camp Can Help Girl Scouts Develop

Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

Camping can be good for young females in a variety of ways. By reading this article, you will learn some of the developmental benefits that apply to those who attend Girl Scout camp based on the things those who are trying to earn the Camp Together badge have to do.

First: They are likely to come out ahead creatively and financially. Because they are supposed to make a group plan on where to sleep for two or more nights, set a budget for the trip, make plans for provisions and cover directions for getting to their destination, they will improve their planning, organizational and budgeting skills.

Second: They will be better off as they learn how to take special precautions. Their ability to stay safe will develop because they are required to prepare for emergencies, review the fire and evacuation plans that are posted at their site, determine what to do if one of the girls becomes lost and learn to recognize dangers that include cliffs and poisonous life forms.

Third: Their social life is subject to improvement. They will likely gain a sense of camaraderie because they have to establish a buddy system in order to meet the safety requirements while walking.

Fourth: They will become more responsible. As they walk, they are not supposed to pollute the air or water, feed wildlife, remove trash or destroy plant or animal habitat.

Fifth: They are likely to start eating properly on an everyday basis. Their diet should start being good because they are supposed to plan for nutritious breakfasts,
lunches and dinners.

Sixth: They will incur a challenge. They are obligated to learn an outdoor skill such as pitching a tent; using a map or compass; cooking outdoors; and purifying water.

Seventh: They should become more observant. They should master paying attention to detail because one of their guidelines is to plan an outdoor activity that helps them learn more about their natural surroundings through observation such as a nature hike or scavenger hunt.

Eighth: Their teaching and mentoring skills should improve. They can teach new campers how things should be done because they are supposed to share with them tips on what works and what does not work.

You have learned the developmental benefits Girl Scouts can reap from attending camp.
