EPTIn general, i think iccup rules were pretty good, it makes sense to give a clear definition on which tricks are legal and which aren't.
It won't matter on bnet since blizzard is not giving user support in this department.

After a player have sent his scv glitch train he can't target anything or switch direction or his scv's will unstack. Does blizzard have customer support where you can report players who exploit this bug? | ||

They can change targets as long as they have an empty gas in their vision to restack on from my understanding. Also, one unit will not "lead them away" because they are always on a-target not a-move when stacked. | ||

They need to actually touch the gas first, and usually a mineral patch is needed also to to get the workers properly stacked. The time required to restack should be enough for the defender to prepare. You're wrong about the attack command thought since you can use both attack on target or attack move. Attacking on a target just doesnt make much sense since you can just kill the workers while their attacking the designated target. With attack move the worker stack will attack anything on their path while staying stacked and also switch to higher priority target that comes on their way.

Well, I did say they would have to restack ON the empty gas - for example, if you take your gas, it doesn't work anymore, right? Beyond that, I didn't know about the a-move! I've never really done it myself, was just going off of observation and second-hand information. Thanks for clarifying. | ||

Yes I think you are right, it does not work if the assimilator/exctractor/refinery has been built. Somehow I skipped the word "on" in your previous post. It's just two letters but had a bigger impact on how I understood what you ment, sorry bout that  | ||
