New ObjectivesTo Strive For Besides Winning

I've whined a couple times on here about how me not getting better at the game is frustrating and blah blah blah. We've all seen those blogs about 4 billion times and we've all long since stopped caring about them.

I've eliminated my desire to always win and hence lifted a significant weight off of myself when I play because I like to do silly things because they are fun. Such things like my patented 6 hatch, 5 pool build that has yet to lose (unless they make an army) or build my Pool on their creep in a ZvZ, telling them exactly where I am, what I'm doing, begging them not to attack until I can complete my 1 base Ultralisk rush. Things of that nature.

I'm running out of ideas and I would still like to actually do something semi-useful that isn't totally ridiculous. Doing silly cheese and idiotic builds has started to lose its luster, so I'm diving into the TL brain trust to see if you guys can come up with some ideas of fun, creative and interesting things to strive for out of a game instead of making more units than other dude. Something to spice the game up.

I'm coming up rather blank at the moment for ideas that would make this really fun and interesting. I have no problem sitting and playing regular games, but...I want some variety.

I really have no idea if this makes any sense at all, but I'll leave this in many more capable hands than my own for ideas about interesting ways to play or some such nonsense.

Flame on!

And thanks for your time.

You could try team games with some of your friends. That might spark up some more interest in the game. Good luck!

Whenever I get tired of playing "serious" games (which I can't even do at the moment, due to 1.4 and my PC working together to destroy my SC2~~ blizzard patch is dog manner) I bust out a cast, episode of SotG and play some BW or WC3, just against the computer. I try to imitate some builds etc, but mostly just have fun.

In SC2 though... Well, I was in bronze 3v3, and I played my way up to platinum using only marines and medivacs. That was fun. And I trolled my opponents while I was doing it. Great fun.

whenever im on a losing streak me and my friend high diamon play a few games of monobattles and to some fun cheese such as i cannon rush with 6pool support which helps us regain our confidence in beating noobs.

as for fun builds if you play zvz u could try building spines on their creep
