Continuing from last time...

Your seat still covered in urine, you decide that now is as good a time as any to switch races, and so you pick that easy mode race, the Protoss. You warm up by pressing “k” a few times, followed by 1a2a3a repetitions. Then, you make game “B- Heatbreak T only.” After kicking out a few people with better stats than you do, you finally let a C+ into your game and start before he can even say hi. The game starts and your probes are ready.

Situation #1:

What do you do?
a)Send a probe to cannon proxy his choke.
b)Send a probe to gate proxy his nat.
c)Go for a standard tech build (i.e. 1 gate gas).
d)Go 14 nexus at your nat.
e)Go 2 gate in base.

Poll: What do you do?
(Vote): a)Send a probe to cannon proxy his choke.
(Vote): b)Send a probe to gate proxy his nat.
(Vote): c)Go for a standard tech build (i.e. 1 gate gas).
(Vote): d)Go 14 nexus at your nat.
(Vote): e)Go 2 gate in base.

30 votes until next.

I wonder if it would be possible to do a cannon first fast expand on hbr, with the cannon on his ledge. I mean, he kindof has to get siege to kill it, and by then you might have enough to defend.

14 nexus in the case that he goes forge first. 13 nexus if he played safe and canceled forge after noticing him not going pool first. maybe just BARELY 12 nexus if he goes straight for it, no forge even begun, but even then it might be 13.. I'm not sure which it is, 12 or 13 because I dont take such risks in my games. People go overpool or earlier pool too often.

Which is why the early gayness is extreme, they know they have to end it or they lose.
