    Here's the latest terran tech tree asdf.

    As you can see, the Barracks unlocks three new structures; the Factory, The Ghost Academy and the Merc Compound.

    Sorry asdf, if you named the merc haven as 'Re-Education Center', it wouldn't fit the terran theme. We alrighty talked about this. A prison on the battlefield doesn't look right. If you look in real life there is no prison on the battlefield. The merc haven is a good name. It isn't just for 'Re-Education', it's also where the terran research the shield for the marine. The shield gives it about 10 more hp I believe. Somewhere around there. Blizzard doesn't name buildings like the 'Re-Education Center'. If they did this is what the buildings would be: The Command Center, now the Resource Outpost, or Refinery. The Barracks, now the Training Building. Bunker, now the Defense Building. It's terrible. We can't name the merc haven that. The protoss and zerg wouldn't be able to stop laughing, or thinking how stupid the terran are. The zerg would say: "Hey that's are job." Even the drones would be saying that. It would be taking the terran and dropping their dumb level below the zerg. They would be wondering how they even got interstellar ship let alone how to fire or make a gun. The name is fine. But you are right about the mercs.

    i fail to see how "re-education center" is much less utilitarian than "command center"

    but in any case, "merc compound" is better than "merc haven" with a night elf stripper.

    Yes, it is asdf. The merc compound is better than merc haven. And it's not a night elf stripper. There are no night elves in starcraft. No orcs, no undead. Well there are undead, the infested terran. the stripper is a normal human.

    I seem to remember you saying that asdf. And now you say that it was doing a night elf dance. Then why didn't you say that in the first place?

    No, they are actually both different asdf. A dancer dances around, they don't strip like strippers. Again there are no night elves in starcraft. Starcraft isn't the future version of Warcraft. Warcraft has magic, starcraft has tech. There is no night elves. Go ask any one, and they will say there are no night elves in starcraft, unless they think warcraft is starcraft and starcraft is warcraft. If there was any night elves in starcraft, everyone would go nuts thinking what is blizzard thinking. Anyways I checked again there is no, 'Trivia section'. It's wiki anyone can go change it whenever they want to. That's why schools don't let you use wiki anymore.

    trivia section's still there. look harder.

    anyways, why are you so worked up about this? blizzard's allowed to throw in easter eggs in their own games, you know. did you know there's zerglings, hydralisks, marines, and orc firebats in warcraft 3? ZOMG warcraft isn't starcraft and starcraft isn't warcraft what is blizzard thinking omgomgomgmogomgomgomogmogmogmomg. my life is ruined, the universes have collided and all life will be annihiliated! oh, and tyrael and diablo are in WoW, too.

    Reading comprehension seems to be devalued these days.

    The woman is doing the same dance the night elf does in WoW, which is based on a real life dance, by the way. That doesn't mean she's a night elf.

    Exactly my point, Kimera757. But what I mean asdf, is that if blizzard toke an actual warcraft race, the whole race buildings and everything and stuck it in starcraft, people would go nuts. The marines, firebats, etc in warcraft was blizzard's why of saying: This is how starcraft would look with the warcraft 3 engine. Easter eggs are different. People have different reactions to easter eggs. Now if they did take the whole race, people would go nuts for sure, knowing it's not just a easter egg. I'm saying that there is no night elf in starcraft. It won't happen. Unless it's a easter egg. They won't stick a easter egg in plain sight. Why would they do something crazy like that? They wouldn't. No night elf on bar.

    It was (supposedly) a hologram of a nightelf dancing on a bar, that's not exactly 'sticking a whole warcraft race in starcraft'.

    No it's not. It says it's a hologram doing that night elf dance. Not a night elf. Anyways there is no hologram any more. They changed the model.

    Because I'm saying it's not a night elf. It's a night elf dance. You don't have to be night elf to do a night elf dance. That's what I have been saying this whole time. Even your wiki page says it's not a night elf, that's it's just a normal person doing one. Where's your brains? Eaten by zombies?

    what are you talking about? there are no zombies in starcraft. if blizzard toke [sic] an actual Left 4 Dead race, the whole race buildings and everything and stuck it in starcraft, people would go nuts. you don't have to be a zombie to eat brains.

    There are no zombies in starcraft. There are no NIGHT ELVES in Starcraft. The hologram is a NORMAL HUMAN. It is doing a NIGHT ELF DANCE. SHE IS NOT A NIGHT ELF.

    ok, it was pretty funny the first few times, but now i'm getting worried. every time i nudge a little bit, cotcan just jumps over the deep end. do you have OCD?
