i know that something bad is going to happen to me at night if i post something like this but im willing to take the risk.

you know that you are new to SCBW if you:
1. think that you are playing zerg no matter what race you are actually playing
2. you move command units into enemy territory without ever thinking of managaing them again
3. you use the arrow keys and you aren't boxer
4. you think that dark swarm is a spell put into the game for aesthetic reasons.
5. you rage at toss players that toss is imba after losing a pvp.

feel free to post your own. if you choose to post "if you make a list like this" please keep it to yourself.

cheers

Overgas ZvZ is pretty common, and also gas first for some 2-hatch builds ZvT I think? (Not too sure about that) I think I'm gonna see if I can do some gas first build for T or P

On a fastest map, you can make an ebay at your enemy's base right away then move it over their minerals to block sight. That way they can't get any more peons mining.

Actually a very common one:

12. You stop worker production when you have one for every mineral patch patch and then just start teching up.

you get stuck on 10 supply for 56 minutes then finally figure out what a depot is and accidentally halt it halfway through and remain stuck on 10 supply for another hour until you realize you can alt f4

-You can't beat the computer.
-You play on Blizzard-made maps.
-You don't use hotkeys. Ever.
-You upgrade every upgrade and built every possible unit and building.
-You wall off your main with three Nexuses (Nexii?)
-You keep all your overlords in your base so they won't die.
-You sometimes take a few seconds during the game and wonder what you should do.
-You try to make your supply depot lift off.
this is my quote.

Numbered them for ya and...
6 is one I've seen many good players do. Especially in a (somewhat) recent help thread. These 2(maybe 3?) guys(Bish if I remember correctly) wouldn't admit that they were not using their overlords properly.

2 is one I do just to play against my nooby(as in been playing for 3 years but still can't get good enough to beat 3 computers) friends. The only non-blizzard maps they'll play are python(some like desti) and remakes of LT and blood bath.

No rally points, halt worker production @ 10, you scout but don't adapt, you don't scout after the initial probe/drone/scv, don't use hotkeys/group

I don't do this and I'm C on iccup. I find early game i have enough attention to just manually move them quickly, and mid game it gets really annoying if you have to pick out the non moving SCVs among your mining ones..

- you have 5 workers
- your unit building decisions are based on "ooh itd be cool to have one of those"
- watching a korean fpvod will blow your mind and change what you thought is standard/possible mode of playing video games .
