I merely find it amusing that 2 out of 5 times I have done this, the people have left the game, "giving" me the win. Most people simply laugh when they see what I'm doing and of course as soon as they kill my probes I leave the game. I can't understand why someone who is switching races at the last second to trick someone into starting off wrong in order to get easy wins, would leave the game when five probes are just mining in their bases not attacking anything, just mining from their minerals.


I'm not sure this is something you would want to be bragging about. Why not just actually pay attention to the race they are switching to and change BO's accordingly? Wouldn't that be more of an accomplishment then wasting your own apm and ragequitting when your probe dies? Just a thought though.

OP, you might lack imagination to see other less attractive possibilities as to why your opponent left. It was an obs game, ums, no points, and he was like "dammit another retarded newb in an obs game" or "i'm being trolled" so he left the game, probably feeling more regret for having played you at all than for 'losing'. Note how before he left, he already scouted your base without a single mining probe, and finished his gateway. This is sort of like, in a game of chess, moving your knight back and forth from its starting position repeatedly, and then laughing and gloating when your opponent simply leaves the game. "Haha, he was so dumb he thought i was actually winning"
"That's not gonna be good for business." "That's not gonna be good for anybody."

There is no laughing, gloating, or braggin going on, and definitely no raging here, merely confusion. It was a shitty OP, whatever. Essentially I was baffled why someone who is trying to get wins by race switching (you can't tell me that someone who makes a TvP game title and switches to Zerg at the last second isn't trying to just get free points), would leave the game. They are getting their free win, and getting it even faster than in a normal game when they kill the protoss that has just 12 nex'd/1 gate core with their firsr six or eight lings.

I thought it was an amusing way to present my confusion, but it was poorly worded and didn't come across that way, like I said, shitty OP. Nothing more to add here so we can just move on.

race changers are the gayest people on earth
Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer.

LOL
Wow >_>, but I guess that won't be happening anymore in SC2, seeing as how you will be revealed and all. Unless of course, you build a CC somewhere... hmm....
