EPTAlso, does flanking neccessarily mean attacking from multliple angles? Isn't it more like attacking from an angle that is generally favorable for you troops? Like attacking the back or side of a terran push where no vults are or a line of marines from the side so that the medics can't get back to heal fast enough?

They really say terror? Funny because that is the name of the scourge in the German version of the game. Took me a while to get used to scourge. | ||

- I don't think cloning needs to be redefined because someone can get the point from the current definition without us going into the mechanics. I guess if you disagree we can discuss this more. - I think cliffing is at an expansion. Again, disagree -> discussion. - I altered contain, saying it happens at a choke and saying it's typically Tanks/Cannons/Lurkers but can be any unit. - I think stacking is fine as is. When someone clumps Mutalisks on a mineral patch, you say he stacked them. I think you can stack things without control groups. - Changed cooldown - Changed counter - Will look into micro / macro - Added expansion using your definition - Changed proxy - Changed 2 Gate to be more general Re: Fanatistic - Cannon rush, bunker rush and Sunk rush are all under the term 'rush'. I think anyone can figure out that Cannon Rush = Rush definition... with Cannons. etc. - Manner gas is under Gas Steal. I don't think it's often called manner gas. Re: Everyone else - Flanking is from more than one direction (angle) as people have said - Added Speedling even though it's common sense... Should I add Speedy Zeals? Or Legs? | ||

I guess if you disagree we can discuss this more Go with what you prefer, but I still think that the term cloning specifically refers to deselection no? I remember that whenever people ask what cloning is, others inevitably define it by the method of targeting multiple units by deselecting units from a control group. I.e. is it still cloning to target multiple units via Boxer's 1-unit-1-hotkey method or to target multiple units in any other manner? - I think cliffing is at an expansion. Again, disagree -> discussion. That's fine, but maybe change "defensive units" to "ranged units/buildings" (cannons aren't units after all), since some people do it with Goons, Hydra, or even Marines as well. - I think stacking is fine as is. When someone clumps Mutalisks on a mineral patch, you say he stacked them. I think you can stack things without control groups. Totally forgot about the min patch method, definition is fine by me. - Changed cooldown Sorry to be anal, but... "attack" -> "attacking"  Should I add Speedy Zeals? Or Legs? Personally, I don't think it's necessary. I don't really hear the term "Speedlots" or anything like that very often. "Speedlings" is actually rather common, so that's understandable, but I think this case is different. (btw, you put it as "speedline") A few other things: -Timing seems like something that we shouldn't have to define. It's meaning in the SC/BW context is pretty much the same in any context. Timing is timing. -Should we add "drone drill" or even "worker drill"? I'm not sure of the most common term used for it, but utilizing (abusing? ) the way workers can pass through other units and each other when mining is pretty common.-Should we also mention under "Turtle" that it can also be used as a verb ("turtling") to describe playing in a very defensive manner? | ||

Drill: A technique utilizing the ability of worker units to pass through each other and other units while mining. It is accomplished by telling a group of workers to mine one resource node (mineral or gas) which allows the workers to stack and/or overlap with each other and also pass through other units. Typical usages include commanding workers to drill through a wall of units and then cancelling their mining to have them unstack in the middle of the wall, thereby breaking it apart (typically a Zealot wall blocking a ramp), and stacking workers to allow them to fight off enemies more effectively. | ||

Also Vanilla Zerg- A zerg strategy usually involving low tech units such and lings/hydras and lots of hatcheries and upgrades. Typically no Broodwar expansion units (at least for the better half of the game). Is Imba on there? Worker (refering to drones, scvs, probes), HQ (referring to nexus, CC, and hatch). Also hatch and CC are slangs of their original words. Also Nat, Min only, expo/multi. Hold lurker, muta (air unit) stack. I think you should probably add user sayings and phrases as well. Like BM, MH, GG, etc. edit- also AV- allied victory, SV-shared vision, AC- Allied chat, RIG(ged)-referring to making a map in someones favor,Stack(ed,ing)-referring to making public team game in a teams favor by putting the best players on your team. | ||
