The third person omniscent perspective may have provided an easy interface for players (for the past 10 years) to manage their armies and allow them to easily dictate the outcome of a war through the means of Macro, Strategy, and Micro, and although it is considered by many individuals that it is essential in war to productively produce more units than the other force to achieve victory, we as members of society must view 'beyond' the mere boundaries of our monitor screen. Beyond the third-person view, majority of b. net players do not realize the deep value that each and every single unit have: the value of life. No amount of minerals or gas can replace this 'value' of life.

The Marine


Above all other units, the Marine is the most abused and mistreated unit of all in Starcraft. As former resistance soldiers who have once struggled to topple over the foundations of Starcraft to remove the role of the marine in Terran's General Forces, they eventually becomes marines themselves. Blizzard first depicted the cruel reality of these 'Marines' in the Brood War Cinematics. Featurless, fatiqued, lonely, and depressed these Marines are forced to rid themselves from the face of humanity to combat against overnumbering zerg forces. For the both the audience, and General Dugalle it may appear to very amusing to watch these brave men sacrafice their lives for a greater cause, but in reallity it is merely a facade picture. Every hour it is estimated that apporixmately (from random website) 10,000 Marines lose their lives in Battle.net Servers to fuel the player's need of amusement.

In their cries: ("Argh!") We as members of humanity do NOT pay attention to these tragic voices as a loss of innocent life, but instead veiw these voices as a loss of a number and instead responsd to the voices by producing more of the same cries.

In the Blizzard's announcement of Starcraft 2 (First Trailer), the Company does not merely reveal a new game to players which will raise the companies shares by many folds, but they also reveal the tragic life of a Marine. Within the confinments of the Barracks, the Marine, scarred and fatiqued by the adversities of starcraft is chained by the constraints of the player and is forced to march into war. When the Marine is finished equipping he leaves this important remark "Hell, its about time", he is actually awaiting for his death, to end the calamities which we the players have brought to upon him!

In Blizzcon the response to the Marine's remarks did not leave us human beings remorsed of sad for this upcomming death; Instead, cheers of excitment filled throughout the world, especially in Seoul Korea. This lefts us to question how we as members of society can be so cruel to humanity as a whole. Maps such as Marine Tug of War and perhaps even some of my maps contribute to the expectancy death rate of the Marine. Within each and every single of these lives being sacraficed bears a story that we as members of humanity must listen.

Solution:
1. We must establish a Marine Foundation Society in Starcraft. This way we can prevent the loss of innocent Marines within Starcraft.

2. DO NOT USE STIMPACK:

"The use of stimpacks is even more of a hot-button subject. These inbuilt chemical delivery systems dose marines with a powerful mix of synthetic adrenaline, endorphins, and a psychotropic aggression enhancer. Marines on stims benefit from greatly increased speed and reflexes, but are subject to long-term side effects including and not limited to insomnia, weight loss, mania/hypomania, seizures, paranoiac hallucinations, internal hemorrhaging, and cerebral deterioration. " - Starcraft 2 Offical website/ Marines

For all of SC Players who never realized the brutal truth, using Stimpacks is an extemely inhumane treatment on human-beings (Even if you have medics >:O ) !

3. Ban the use of Marines in your maps!

4. If you REALLY need Marines make only atmost four in every game.

5. Always upgrade Armor not Weapons for your marines:

Waterinthehole (10:25:43 PM): Armor provides protection and safety to the marines from harms way
Waterinthehole (10:26:12 PM): although weapons can do that vice-versa the phsycological impact of killing is too shocking for any soldier to handle.

From a utilitarian standpoint, the loss of the marines--if used for a purpose--ultimately serves the purpose of preserving the Terran race and the lives of countless other soldiers through the achievement of meaningful objectives and the containment of enemy forces. For example, is it more worthwhile to 'upgrade armor' for marines, if you instead put them in bunkers and then upgrade weapons? It all depends on their use.

I rarely build marines in melee anymore. I will build maybe 8 for bunkers to prevent rush then go straight mechanical.

but every single terran unit is human/requires human to pilot, so wouldn't that be to remove terrans from starcraft?

source please.

Zerglings are more mistreated then Marines

Marines are convicts so this is what they get in order to repay their debt to society.

yea thats right, what about the poor zerglings?
they are crowded inside eggs, then when they hatch they are sent on suicide missions

Now the biggest collection of criminals are the Reapers.

LING RUSH
But what about infested terrans and scourge? Any victory for them always means death, and sometimes their death still doesn't bring victory!
Let's face it: the only real threat is the Protoss. They have no suicide units--every single unit is important. Zerg and Terran forces should ally themselves against this menace.

Or learn from their humane ways?

Bah. We humans live by other standards: if it's different, persecute/prosecute/execute it. They have no nuclear missiles because they have different standards--that natural things should be preserved as much as possible.

In short: the Protoss must go--they make us look bad

I don't even get Starcraft. Why are we fighting?! WHY CAN'T WE ALL GET ALONG!?

rofl

Unless that difference benefits the individual noticing it, we hate that which is different.
Of course, nobody likes being told that they don't matter--why else would the marines want to frag their commander?

no, if we cut out all units for the terrans except for the marines, they would learn to treasure em =O

1) Terrans are exiled aboard three cargo ships. Each landing respectively on Tarsonis, Moria and Umoja in the Korpulu sector.
2) Terran colonization begins in the Korpulu sector. With the those of Tarsonis (Confederacy) in the lead.
3) Guild Wars breaks out. Terran factions assault each other.
4) Guild Wars ends with Terran Confederacy victory.
4) Zerg scouts find Terran planets like Mar Sara. As part of a super retarded plan to assimilate the world, they do that.
5) Zerg infestation of a number of planets including Mar Sara and Chau Sara prompt Protoss warships to 'purify' the planet's surface. Exterminating all life.
