I was so pissed in fact, that I just started throwing games away. Ironically, I won 1 cuz the guy said "lag" and quit 2 mins in, and another guy by the same token randomly left. I'm so bad that my points went UP when I TRIED to lose. Obviously, I wasn't trying hard enough.   | ||

This actually caused me to burst out laughing. | ||

Ideally, do this after stealing your opponent's gas. | ||

You got something done there. Although a few wins on your record might tarnish that. You need to next get to 1 without a single win. | ||

I did a similar thing a long time ago; I played a game (D- level) on Medusa where I lifted my CC to my mineral only and then proceeded to play as normal. My opponent (Zerg) never scouted until he attacked (maybe 10 minutes into the game) so I don't think he even realized the stupid shit I had been up to. XD | ||

I think most people at D level this late in the season lack basic BO knowledge. When people get into D+ is when I think the average player starts getting more attuned to more detailed things like counter-BOs and the mechanics increase greatly. Although, of course this is all due to personal interpretation, I've undoubtedly met D level players that were good and D level players that were abysmal. | ||

The level is sort of varying, yes, hence the statement ''you will win every game at D-/D'' isn't really accurate. I definitely agree that simply using a standard BO will beat D- players 99 games out of 100, but there are plenty of D players who uses proper BO's as well, so it takes a little more effort to make it up to D+. | ||

Anyways, its happened to me before. Playing standard and smart is harder at the d ranks than just cheesing or doing whatever you please. | ||

Anyway, I played a realllllllly stupid game with a reallllllllly stupid strategy intended more for lols than for winning. Then my opponent epic-failed a response. I then sat around letting him get back into the game to make it interesting.... Sadly... he didn't bother to sunken up or do anything to his "hidden" expo and gg'd before I could go on another suicidal spree. ![[image loading]](http://repdepot.net/img/thumbs/24616.jpg) | ||
