This would be the easiest way. Select your town hall structure and listen for its sound, and hotkey it. Then move directly to the left a bit and drag down-right until you select all your peons. Hotkey them. Press your town hall hotkey twice. Go slowly in all of the eight directions, left-clicking as you go. When you hear the selection sound, you've found a mineral patch. Don't move the mouse, and select your peon hotkey and right-click the mineral patch. If you found a geyser instead, you'll hear a "can't do that" sound, and have to search some more for the minerals. When your peon is completed, hotkey it to a different key and have him become your main builder for everything. Now, scouting and attacking are a completely different obstacle and I don't have a good suggestion for that, but for opening-game economics this system should work just fine.

What? No, "town hall" and "peon" are the neutral terms for CC/Nexus/Hatchery and SCV/Probe/Drone respectively, because typing all that is irritating.

Even a blind player has to scout. Attack-move a peon somewhere, when you get the "Your forces are under attack" notice, center on that unit by double-pressing the hotkey and Shift-F2 the map location so you know where the enemy base is. That's when you can start sending out your army.

EDIT: Here's a dilemma though. How would you know, especially if you're playing a same-race matchup, if you're outnumbered? Seems like that would be mostly luck.

I just played a 4ffa of this and got raped by SCV rush. I'm waiting for the rest to finish. It's a lot more disorienting than I thought it would be. I kept moving my mouse out of the game screen and down into the panel. Everyone got mining pretty quickly, it took me (the last person) about 2 minutes to get started.

I think random should definitely be a rule because Terran SCV rush is far too strong. I was so scared to pull Probe off to defend myself because Id never get them back mining.

I used to say those warcraft terms too but people didn't understand me so I switched to "Main Base" and "Worker"

To get gas: Hotkey 2 peons in different hotkeys. Spamthe hotkeys for building an extractor with one of the workers around the place and wait till you get it confirmed (ie no error sound), freeze mouse on that spot. When its done get your other hotkeyed worker and tell him to mine gas. Voila!

I was laughing and kind of wincing at the same time when he quietly walked his rines into the guys mineral line, killed the drones, and then ran back out. : x

It might be interesting to try to make a map that can be played blind. All resources would be in the same location relative to the start locations, and there could be someway to more easily determine one's location on the map. Perhaps specifically placed neutral buildings or something which produces a sound so one can figure out where their base is on the map without a lot of effort; that might make it a little less fun though?

iNc and Chill are correct. :p

Fun little note: It wasn't until my friend joined in that we thought to turn off the monitors. Until then, we just played with blankets and towels wrapped around our entire heads.

Speaks for our intelligence, eh?
Think. :)
