I think that whether or not people quit the game because they get worker rushed is irrelevant to whether you are having fun.

If you're having fun, keep doing it.

I do think that people do quit the game because of it though ;-).

I really tried to keep an open mind reading it but I just really don't get it, i'm not trying to hate (not that it would matter because OP clearly doesn't care) but as one of the few people who like to watch SC2 and follow a few players/some of the community but is reluctant to try 1v1 this puts me off the game quite alot.

It's not even about the OP, from what I see he is just a guy having fun (albeit at many other peoples expense) but what gets me quite worried is the community response. I know that SC2 has plenty of trolls/cheese but I always thought it was disliked by the communty, then I come across a thread like this that has 9 pages of people applauding OP and even a spotlight on the website generally considered the best SC community.

OP and everyone here knows that people will quit the game because of things like this though personally I think it it's not his fault if people don't like what he finds fun, but what I really find distasteful is that people seem to like this because of the effect it has on people, not in spite of it.

Haha I greatly enjoyed this. As evil as you may seem, you're enjoying the game, so by all means, worker rush the crap out of those bronze/silver/golds

I also think you have way too much time to put this kinda stuff together haha, but whatever makes you happy

My sypathy for what he does comes from two things:
1. He puts a lot of effort into his blog posts. They are an entertaining read really and so he does not only take (wins from low bronze players), but also gives back a lot.
2. He is not bragging about what he is doing and reflects on what he is doing.

P.S.: Does anyone remember Belan the Looter from UO? This kindof reminds me of her.

I loved this blog. Let me give you an idea. Let BusRider and KnockedOut know they´re famous now. They gave you wins, fun and fame, give some of it back to them.

Meh it was funny the first time, but getting old now :p. Like the effort you put into the post, but there's only so much entertainment you can draw from reading about bronze worker rushes.

These posts are pure joy. As a 'high bronze' myself I revel in what sometimes happens in my games; both my dumb ass moves and my opponents. I get worker rushed and 6pooled more that I would like to see but I rarely loose to them...anymore.

This post made me half want to go on a cheese bender.

These stories just get funnier and funnier

EDIT: The really serious "poo poo on you" posters passing their judgement on these threads continues to get funnier as well.

You should do a different series after you get bored with this. Canon Rush.

Well written and very entertaining read nonetheless. I hope I encounter you in the ladder. I'm in Silv.

Gheed man, you can write. Just went through the series at work. I have to say you have a calling beyond worker rushes.

I guess I have to start with the fact that nobody should ever lose to a worker rush. Ever. It's a simple mathematical issue. By the time I get to my opponent's base, I will always have less workers than them.

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=283755

Clearly you're not good enough at worker rushing (see game versus White-Ra) and clearly it isn't just idiots who lose to it. I like this series of blogs, but it's obviously not as easy to defend as you make out


Clearly the thing OP is doing is different from the 12drone rush

Very well written blogs, love them.
