So I'm basically awesome at Terran. Not like I actually win, but like I have a teammate who plays Zerg and kinda wins and then I sometimes get some battle cruisers and some nukes and then we win because battle net can be filled with tools at 3 AM. So, usually these people stay around long enough that I get to have some fun. So if I'm tired of going medic-ultra, I start building stuff in people's bases. But let's say I've only got one SCV that I can spare cuz it's a elimination race and/or my teammate went Sauron-Zerg and I don't have an expansion. So now I've got a choice. I could buiild a commnad center in my opponent's main and go proxy worker rush, or I could build a refinery and start mining from it. I guess what I'm asking is which of these better sends the message "I suck at this game, but you're worse than my friend who is better than both of us and you ally." Any thoughts?
Do the command center sliding trick and place it on top of your opponent's CC/Nexus/Hatchery (the one that makes the CC look like it's landed when it is really floating). Then have your ally patrol an overlord directly on top of it. I think that would send your intended message.

i think you hit L then S really fast and cancel the scv when the cc is in the air.
it could be S then L but i can't really remember
L then S. The CC should have an SCV queued while floating but it doesn't build. Land the CC, and while it's landing, do a move command somewhere else. The CC will land and liftoff, and the SCV will build and appear at the landed spot. Once the SCV has been build then it has that weird shadow thing under it.
