While playing as T or Z, accidentally tried building an SCV or select larvae with all your workers selected?

I try spamming commands at the beginning of the game to try emulating good players except I somehow lose all sense of what's going on when I do that. A few seconds later, I realize hey... why aren't my SCVs doing anything?... oh shit! *leaves game*

It's happened multiple times already ^^

Yes, when I first started spamming to warm up, I kept messing up too.

Now it's not a problem anymore. ;D

eh, happened more than a few times, but i never left the game on account of it, i personally find it much worse when im not warmed up proper and lift my cc while adding a comsat.
The bad part about the accident *S* is that most of the time when my scv just freeze up i think, oh great hes gonna drop, so im waiting for the drop screen to show up, and then realize....

No I strayed from this problem long ago but I do know how annoying this can be.

Now I have a bad annoying habit of clicking my offense buildings with my mouse (gateways/barracks/factory) and hot keying a offense unit to build and I sometimes have a few buildings that do not take up on the command....
ya had ya shot kid!

lol, I usually don't. The only time I did leave was when it happened after I lost 6 or 7 consecutive games. That time, it was just like "...... ah forget it, I'm going to sleep XD"

I did that when I started spamming. I've been trying to tone it down a bit.

This.

Or don't spam at all. Like me, because I also have trouble focusing on important things while I spam.
But your overall APM score will always be low as a result then (because you'll only need like ~40 APM to play perfectly during the first few minutes). So if you have ~40 APM over 5 minutes, ~200 APM peak, ~150 APM on average, your overall APM for the game will be something like 120 (depends on length though), but with spam it could be 150-200.

I don't wanna sound like I'm nagging but depending on what kind of player you are you might want to keep playing and not leave since sometimes you can't leave just because you make an early game mistake.

I also use P, but, when I use T/Z, I sometimes fuck up and my workers end up just looking at the minerals.

I don't leave though, I just say "FUCK YOU" and keep playing. XD
