When I'm on the receiving end of cheese, I will just gg and leave, keeping any frustrations to myself. Calling myself a nice guy would be arrogant, but I do like to be friendly even with random strangers and won't hesitate to strike up a conversation.

Not everyone acts the same though, so in an attempt to understand the mentality of complainers (not really it's just for your entertainment) I thought I'd analyse some particularly candid bad manner.

*Pictures&Text in spoilers

Case 1:
+ Show Spoiler +


[image loading]


[image loading]


[image loading]


So after various forms of interesting verbal abuse for standard play I decide that maybe that's the wrong way to play on iccup.

So I play a PvZ on python where I make 2gates in my natural:
4:08 - NeT.brandon: ur so fucking cheesy
4:13 - Nytefish: play to win
4:16 - NeT.brandon: your a newb
4:21 - Nytefish: says the loser
4:29 - NeT.brandon: w/e newb

I attempt to make him explain why he would call me a newb but he dismisses it and ragequits. Perhaps I was a little abrasive.

Next it's a PvT on heartbreak, upon joining the game and selecting my race I'm greeted with "protoss... typical". I figure that perhaps it's the unexpected nature of cheese that makes it so strong, so I decide to declare my intentions:
0:19 - Nytefish: gpnna proxy gate you
0:24 - SpruceChess: standard
0:45 - Nytefish: actually nvm dt drop
0:59 - Nytefish: want me to proxy the tech or not?

I guess it backfired a bit, this Terran really didn't want to be cheesed so he stole my gas.
[image loading]


But I'm a man of my word so I proceed to do it anyway.
[image loading]


Forget the complete failure to defend DTs despite being warned, if you're playing on an imbalanced map all losses are the map's fault.

The Lesson
- A day of iccup will get you and your mother raped in the arse.
- DTs are unfair.




Case 2:
+ Show Spoiler +

Now for once we have a guy who doesn't complain about cheese, however in this case that's because the perpetrator of the dairy curd happens to be him.

The Game
It begins as a standard PvZ on Destination. After scouting no lair, 3hatch on 2 base, I get a little suspicious.

[image loading]


This is soon followed by:
9:27 - [RS6]: camper
9:28 - Nytefish: lol
9:30 - Nytefish: what do you expect
9:31 - Nytefish: no 3rd

He didn't reply so I assumed my explanation was adequate. After a few minutes he decides the course of the game is still not to his liking:
14:48 - [RS6]: ya baby
14:50 - [RS6]: more camp
14:50 - [RS6]: ^^
14:53 - Nytefish: so?
14:54 - Nytefish: win..
14:58 - [RS6]: yea
15:01 - [RS6]: but its lame
15:03 - Nytefish: so
15:08 - Nytefish: there's no right way to win
15:14 - [RS6]: no fun to play
15:16 - [RS6]: with that
15:18 - [RS6]: make me mad
15:19 - [RS6]: :/
15:22 - Nytefish: well

The camping he's complaining about is that I refused to attack into this without obs.
[image loading]


It's not long before I mine out the mineral in the back and simply walk round his contain, he leaves the game with one final quip.
[image loading]


It seems he is unable to read numbers, this probably accounts for his poor understanding of the game. If in fact he wasn't talking about his resources but the amount of warts on his genitalia then I apologize and agree that it would be no fun.

The Lesson
- Do not defend cheese or you are a camper.
- If you wait until you have enough to break a lurker contain, you are a camper.



Case 3:
+ Show Spoiler +


The Game
PvT on python, starts off as usual, scouting after gateway finds Terran on the first try.

[image loading]


My probetard is pretty chuffed he managed to kill one of those big bad black SCVs but immediately after is popped from behind by an even bigger, meaner one.

At this point I realise I have no clue what the Terran will do, so I decide to 2gate goon pressure to get some information.

[image loading]


However he loses his scout SCV almost instantly (and I still don't know what he's doing) so I decide "why not DT drop?" and cancel the range upgrade.

[image loading]


Unfortunately for him he placed turrets to stop reaver and was too slow in making one near his SCVs.

[image loading]


I was expecting a ragequit but he turns out to be quite vocal about his distastes for various types of people:
7:12 - Shotcoder: be a bigger noob plz
7:14 - Nytefish: k
7:37 - Shotcoder: what would you do with toss?
7:42 - Nytefish: eh?
7:48 - Shotcoder: ah a canadian
7:53 - Nytefish: oui
7:54 - Shotcoder: no wonder your a fag
7:55 - Nytefish: oui monsieur

[image loading]


8:40 - Shotcoder: fucking homo
8:45 - Nytefish: learn to play
8:45 - Shotcoder: dts rush noob
9:08 - Nytefish: what's wrong with gays
9:18 - Shotcoder: they play toss
9:26 - Nytefish: and your basis is?
9:30 - Shotcoder: you
9:36 - Nytefish: so#?
9:38 - Nytefish: i'm gay so what?
9:49 - Shotcoder: just another homo noob
9:57 - Nytefish: yes so?
9:59 - Nytefish: you have a point?

Although it was the standard racist homophobic behaviour, I had finally found a talker and to further understand him I continued to egg him on.

10:02 - Shotcoder: no macro skill so gotta rush
10:12 - Nytefish: macro isn't the only skill in this game
10:22 - Shotcoder: yea being a cheeser is another you noob
10:30 - Nytefish: stop acalling me noob
10:33 - Shotcoder: NOOB
10:34 - Nytefish: it makes you look worse
10:46 - Shotcoder: cant be worse than a toss noob so I'm fine
10:57 - Nytefish: this game doesn't care about who palys the macro game
11:00 - Nytefish: only who wins
11:11 - Nytefish: you'd be wise to learn that
11:13 - Shotcoder: I guess toss noobs only care about winning
11:15 - Shotcoder: wise?
11:21 - Shotcoder: you're not wise my friend
11:26 - Nytefish: i didn't say i was

Although I was trying to impart whatever knowledge I had about the win/loss system, he didn't seem very receptive.

Anyway he was still playing so I thought his only way to come back would be drop play and did the standard counter.

[image loading]


14:38 - Shotcoder: fucking chobo toss
14:43 - Nytefish: you're the loser mate
14:45 - Shotcoder: wish I could play such an OP race
14:47 - Nytefish: calling me bad
14:49 - Nytefish: just makes you worse
14:51 - Shotcoder: you are bad
14:57 - Shotcoder: have to use dt rush to win
14:57 - Nytefish: and your basis is?
14:59 - Shotcoder: = horrible
15:02 - Nytefish: dt rush is unfair because?
15:09 - Shotcoder: dt rush is just like cheese
15:14 - Nytefish: cheese is unfair because?
15:16 - Shotcoder: grow a pair and play straight

I wanted to know why standard macro play was the only fair way to win but all he could tell me was that I lacked testicles.

The Lesson
- Canadians and homosexuals are bad at Starcraft.
- If someone DT rushes you, your macro game is immediately better than theirs, no exceptions.




I have censored my username because due to the viciousness of certain players I am led to believe using DTs is equivalent to killing and raping their family. In case a charge is brought against me I will remain anonymous.

No I'm never serious.

Why would you just GG and leave when cheesed though? It's not like cheese always works

And yeah, lots of kids have amazingly bad manners on ICCUP
I know that deep inside of you there's a humongous set of testicles just waiting to pop out. Let 'em pop bro. //////////////////// AKA JensOfSweden // Lee Yoon Yeol forever.

Fact is that many people that play games are teenagers or even younger. You really can't expect maturity from people that haven't had time to mature yet.
I understand that losing is frustrating, but why bother insulting, hiding buildings and disconnecting? I never understood that kind of mentality.

LOL

I rarely do anything like dt drop when I play so I dont get a lot of those players.

However, I do get A LOT of zergs complaining when they 3h hydras and I add cannons in my nat because I dont have archives yet.
"OMG, Protoss so easy. Just mass cannon gg"
"Nice cannon D noob"
etc etc.

What do they want me to do? Respond with triple stargate sair and lose?

lmao great blog.

If you show utter dominance they usually just leave the game instead of saying anything, or call you a noob and leave instead of talking really, but yeah, these people are pretty pathetic.

I basically don't talk or type at all when I'm playing on iccup. I don't really find too much bm from my oppenents either. I think there is a correlation between the two.

Yeah I don't see any bad manners because I don't talk inside game. Maybe you should try too. Seems like you were bashing weaker players, which I don't see point making blog.

I explicitly state that I want to talk in the OP .

According to these guys I'm the weaker player.

I played that Shotcoder guy today too, he scouted my 9 pool and still let me up his ramp.. he didn't complain about that though, just left without saying anything after I broke his nat.

Guess TvP is really that frustrating :p

the real correlation is that this seriously only happens in D/D+ ranks maybe C- late in the season. I've NEVER seen people be really bm and annoying in higher ranked games.

Complain more, less skills seem to be the trend
With a gust of wind, perhaps.

Yeah, heartbreak is so imbalanced, it makes DT drop literally impossible to stop. When a DT walks or is shuttled over the ridge, they get +1 boots of cunning that make them permanently invisible, even to turrets and scan. It's totally unfair, and you sir, should be punished for exploiting a known bug...
