and block entrance with supply supply barracks everygame vs p. and use scv to scout for proxies etc. not hard to counter cheeses. once u succesfully defend the cheese your enemy is behind and u have advantage. | ||

I, for one, hate the noobs that leave 10 seconds into the game because their split wasn't perfect. | ||

Do you actually have to find the other player? Or does a Zerg player's first overlord count as scouting? I like your suggestion, as long as there's not too much ambiguity, I don't trust iccup admins to make the right decision every time. | ||

This is actually a really good point. The game is set up so that if it ends in under 2 minutes it is a draw. That is a rule of starcraft. It is a basic rule built into the game. Less than 2 minutes is a draw. Simple as that. I dont think iccup should change the rules of the game. Starcraft was designed to be played a certain way and the rules shouldnt be altered because some people dont like them (this is different than exploiting bugs, because bugs are unintended). Just like 4pooling is allowed by the rules, if you scout a 4pool and leave in under 2 minutes, well thats allowed by the rules of starcraft. These are the rules of the game set by Blizzard. I dont want people to think I am defending this because I do it. I have never done it. I dont cheese and thus have never had a failed cheese that I need to leave for. And I have only ever been cheesed a few times(less than 5 times in the last year on bnet and iccup). | ||

I think it would really help in Zerg vs Zerg, where if you go 12 hatch and scout a 9 pool and you just leave. That is really unfair and a totally dumb decision if you leave before the 2 minute mark and scout your disadvantage. | ||

And I have only ever been cheesed a few times(less than 5 times in the last year on bnet and iccup). while I agree with this to an extent, it doesn't apply in this particular scenario. If you find out you're at a disadvantage before the 2min mark and leave, it should not be a draw. your argument is flawed in a few ways. First, at this point, the community knows better than blizzard as to how starcraft "should" (whatever that means) be played. This concerns maps, allowed/prohibited bugs, etc. Just because something is allowed by the basic rules of the game does not mean that it's accepted to play/abide by that rule by the community. For example, akuma in SF. Sure it's an "allowed" character in terms of the game, it's definitely intended. And yet it's banned. Is the whole SF community simply a bunch of whiners that should "learn to deal" with akuma just like we should "learn to deal" with the fact that some builds have a chance to get an early advantage with no risk (i.e. leave if you get a disadvantage instead for a draw?) | ||
