The victory condition: destroy all your opponents buildings. Neither player can do this, so it's a draw. Some posters argue the greater importance of army over buildings or vice-versa. These are entirely subjective points of views. There exists no basis to submit rational conclusions. If tournament organizers want to "house rule" the resolution of draws, then all competitors should be made aware of the rules before the start of the tournament. Otherwise, shame on the organizers. | ||

Just be the bigger man and let him win. A win isn't worth so much of your time. You'll do better playing games and practicing than for waiting for one win. (I know your not going to listen to my advice so have fun in your stalemate war with him) | ||

What will happen is people will be too worried about their Elo to risk losing to someone they're uncertain about. Thus, most players will prefer to draw with their opponents early on because they're chickens. As a result, overall skill development suffers. Players won't get to the endgame, won't strive to win, and won't improve. Competitive Starcraft loses. That's what someone said when I suggested it on b.net forums, but I still don't understand. Why would someone accept a draw in a non-draw situation unless they both really think they're at a disadvantage? What if: - a player can only ask for a draw once every 10 minutes or so (to prevent spamming) - in the event of a draw, both players lose 1 or 2 points in their ELO, punishing people who would use it just to be 'chicken' | ||

The op has a standing army, even if his town was wiped out in the process. The Terran however has zero army. If this were a ZvZ, or ZvP then the player with the remaining standing army would of won without question as they cannot "float" their buildings away. The only reason the Terran player is even in the game is because he chose to exploit an ability of terran and use to to quite frankly be an asshole. Without that ability, the OP clearly won the match. In a tournament this would be a draw yes, because they are on a timeframe. However I am sorry but the T player in this instance is clearly being the spoil sport as he is the one who has clearly lost. Once again, the Z player has an army that is more then capable of killing those buildings if they lacked the ability to float. The terran player has zero capability to do anything except act like a douchebag. I do agree with the statement that this is beta and ladder points don't matter. I am merely pointing out the above simple truth of the matter. I really don't like the destroy all structures is an auto win mechanic myself. I have played far too many RTS over the years where both players attacked a home base at the same moment and wiped each others home base entirely out. Then the fight boiled down to a final clash between the two armies and who handled their units better. I sincerely believe that Terran buildings should be forced to land at a certain point. lifting is not an exploit in any way. zerg made a stupid decision and ge didn't understand that zerglings does not attack air. any true starcraft gamer understands that this situation is a draw and neither of the players isn't any more of a winner than the other. The terran player has zero capability to do anything except act like a douchebag. Zerg can't do anything else either. | ||

With conditions like in the described game.. If a protoss has 100 pylons littering a map, and his opponent has one marine only. The terran wins, and it's just a matter of time - only reason that didn't happen is the abuse of the terran flight mechanic. As it has been said, if it were a different match up then this wouldn't have occurred. I have no stake in this, and don't really care. I'm just interested in how many people seem to be going the other way with it. *edit - win condition for the game is destroying buildings, yes, so how long exactly would it take for a fleet of flying rax's to end the game? Pretty much exactly 'forever'. Thats why the guy was being BM, deliberate wastage'ing of time. | ||

It has happened in brood war tournaments. it's a draw. followed by a regame. not giving up has never been considered bm. not at all. if you would give up when the other player has no chance of winning, you would most likely be critised by the audience and be penalized by your team.
