I think since the nexus is 4x3 and a pylon 2x2, you cant put it so its center would be correct so even without clicking they might notice it is odd and then click it. | ||

If you scout well with a drone and dont assume that protoss can only place cannons behind your mineral only(like me lol), you shoud be able to stop it. | ||

Like, how do you prevent him when he can block him self in with one pylon? (Luna 2 and 7 a clock comes to mind but it has happened to me on other maps too) I'll usually notice that something is wrong and send a drone to check for rushes due to the probe being gone for a while/late nexus. Problem is that when i do he already has his probe locked in behind a pylon and before i can get a drone jumped over he usually warps in his cannon, sometimes they even manage to jump the probe back over the minerals again in the process and keep on making cannons/sends another probe over to do that. Should i always scout with two drones when i get paranoid so i can jump them over right away or is there some other trick to deal with this? | ||

Once on Arcadia I built the pylon behind one of the thin walls, cannoned there, and then built another cannon on the other side of the wall. When he pulled drones the first cannon melted them. It was the sexiest thing I've ever done :p | ||
