just to teach you a lesson for being so proud as to think you deserve the win. Despite you having lings left, he managed to destroy your base but at the same time neither of you died. Simple stalemate.
Logically you should eventually just say "fuck it", quit the game and move on after like 10 minutes. It's just one game.

Just thinking out loud here but maybe you could like not base trade with terrans if you find it impossible to win like that?

But to op: Like said a bunch of times already, you cant win either, you're being as BM as he is. Actually I would say more because you came and posted a thread about it.

It's not impossible, I just dislike the fact, that there are situations where terran gets this sort of advantage.
A couple of weeks ago I played TvZ on Scrap station where I went for hellions and he rushed me with roaches so I killed all his drones and the queen and he killes all my SCVs and building except for the Oc, so I could fly to the island and rebuild with mules. I didn't feel like I really deserved the win because his army was stronger then mine.

That being said, it all depends on the attitude of the person I'm playing. If they rush and destroy me, I'll let it go, if they're one of those people who, after they start the rush say "you should just leave now noob." I'll make them hunt for every building.

I didn't do that because I think it's a waste of my time... I mean, I'm not gonna win anyway if I don't hold that DT rush, the result will be the same, so there's no point in making him hunt my buildings. It is annoying, but I think the best solution is to just get him back next time and type a smiley face as you kill him.

It was a draw, but it's still BM to refuse to compromise in this case. Since we're told it was the Terran that was first one to take that stance, then he's the BM dude.

...Although, zerg has no anti-air other than the queen, early on that is, if a base race happens before t2 (in which case the queen is killed off) and then the army's collide and the zerg wins. Its then pretty BM to fly off your buildings knowing theres little the zerg can do now, assuming theres no production capacity left for the zerg. The only thing preventing the win for the zerg is the Terran race perk of flying buildings, not any measure of skill or anything...

BM ruling: Terran

its quite simple, the newer the game is = higher chance of being popular or known by the kids, EVERYONE picks up a new hyped game and unfortunately, this includes all the bad manner kids. (how many kids say oh im going to go buy broodwar, not many i'd imagine.) The older a game gets, the more mature its community will be.

People playing BW were playing for the love of the game, it was more than the casual game you buy and play because its new.

But I agree that making a post about this with screenshots is also BM

another thing is that wc3 players are very ban mannered, everyone even amateurs, semi pros. so all the wc3 players will more than likely be bad mannered.

I for one have issues with that, there are times i will rage at my opponent. Specially in the US if you look at the community. The ladders are overrun with hackers, and wc3 never had another way to play like iccup for sc1. So these kids have a lot of rage. Same with wow players. I found the sc1 community to be much less bad mannered.

I do agree with the war3 statement, I am a war3 player myself. And after playing war3 for years you seem to get this burning hatred for your opponent. Can only take being blademaster jacked or coil nova insta killed so many times before you snap. For example, I almost take it as a personal insult whenever someone tries to cheese me. I try to say gg or just not say anything at all in most of my games, but sometimes it slips out.

Oh yeah I forgot to address the hacking part, I think MOST of this has to do with how rampant hacking is on warcraft 3. Even if they aren't hacking most of the games you automatically just assume the player is hacking and thus are playing with an angry mindstate to begin with.

I got in this same situation. Bnet gave us a 5-minute shutdown warning and we both lol'd... then I chewed up his base and started on his last buildings (he was revealed). He had some proxy gates way in a corner (?) and I ran my lings over. I was about 15 seconds from destroying his last buildings when Bnet gave us a 5-second warning, and the loser kept saying "nvmnvmnvm" when I told him to just gg already, since it was one of my placement matches.

I've encountered some BM people, although that was the worst. Most people gg.

in 1v1 I haven't faced many BM people at all I mean I face no GG but I do that as well at times just because nerd rage at the time

As for floating buildings never had to worry about it 1v1 had it happen to me in 2v2 a couple times.

OP the same thing happened to me my third game of SC2. I killed his army/main (except for the buildings he floated) but he sniped my CCs with reapers and I didn't have enough money to go air. I just had all my units patrolling the perimeter so he couldn't possibly land. I eventually won after 2 hours when he tried to land, but the game should have just been able to be called a draw. There really needs to be a draw option - with the weaker buildings and more CC-sniping strategies, this sort of situation seems like it's a lot more common than in BW.

Thing is, neither of us were really BM about it. It was just like "oh... well, I guess that's that". There's really nothing mannered to do in that situation besides give yourself a loss.

God, I absolutely thrive on those moments!
It's an extra fuel injection. Beating people straight up (or why not cheese the hell out of em for that matter) and have them whining their brains out.. it's sweet, oh so sweet!

Don't respond, don't say a thing. Just smile. Pure awesomeness.
