I'm mulling over some possibilities with regards to redtoothing your Spawning Pool in ZvZ to feign a 12pool when you really did a 9pool; it would require your opponent to not count your Drones but I'm sure every once in a while they wont notice that 2-3 are missing and will drone too hard to fight off your initial Zerglings.

rofl @ accidentally killing your own spire

Op might wanna emphasize against this mistake. Spire gets built really slowly cuz it has low HP and large build time, so it's totally possible to kill your own spire. LOL. watch out

Agreed. This won't work at D or at pro level, but in between...there's potential.

This is such a sick idea.


This idea is more viable at the pro level than any other IMO.

The only level I don't see this ever working at is mine (D)

if you're at the level where you might accidentally kill your own spire while intentionally lowering its hp, you are not at the level where doing this trick is relevant to your play

Honestly, when I first saw that you were going to name something after yourself, I was getting ready to flame away, but I actually read the OP and it's a very ingenious idea.

I fully support redtoothing

wont work vs koreans though, half of them dont even bother getting scanners till 50 if they see you open 3 hatch, they just know the muta timing.

What about the other half? Honestly, if it works once out of 50 times it's worth it, and as Chill said there's no reason not to.

Hmm...this is actually pretty neat. I love little tricks like these that screw around with your opponent's mind.
this is my quote.

redtooth, hats off to you for actually theorycrafting something legitimate. Everyone else has something to learn from your ingenuity.

Also, to the skeptics, find me a Terran who can successfully break Zerg's natural while mutalisks are out.

Pretty sweet idea, and like Chill said there is really no reason not to do it. If you get caught by the scan then oh well no loss, but if you don't you could have earned valuable seconds before the first turrets go up.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?
