When I saw the thread I was getting excited. Maybe collossi are the phallus, and corruptors have penis envy. That's what makes zerg so vaginal.

But seriously I'm not sure what's up with this thread. Like others have said, probably troll . . .

Edit: This isn't a troll thread, I think. Just not the most productive one.

You forgot the two common cases:

People who ask you what league you are in -- 87.2% chance they rush you, especially mass marines or proxy gates. The best people to play against.

People who cuss you out or bm from the start -- 54.0% chance they rush you, 100.0% chance they do a strategy that people find annoying (all-in, rush to cloaked unit x, turtle and deathball up).

All percentages made up on the spot. They may or may not be anywhere near the actual odds of occurence.

Also, I added up your probabilities of meeting each type. And came up with a range from 125% to 142%. Seems a little on the high side...

Scouting>Pyschoanalysis. Seeing what's actually happening > guessing due to how they poise themselves at the start of games. Also don't play when angry? If Artosis and Idra did that they would never play any games.

Edit: do you have any data to support your findings. 9-13% is very specific.

I did have a tendancy to insult Zerg players by always saying: "Ah great another six-pool."
And then just quietly leave them to rage or careful explain that they could actually play the game.
Didn't cheese the opponent afterwards but definitely got them dialoguing about there day on the ladder. Actually I found the ones that calmly responded tended to not attack until after my first push and the raging ppl would just let their macro go down the plug hole.

So some of the ideas you've assumed have some basis, but even with a probability its more effective to just scout the opponent and look for tells in the build order; much better habit in my opinion.

This.

Having missed the spelling mistake however, I came in this thread expecting someone who actually had some education on the subject, perhaps a psychology student at uni. And how does the thread go from analysing enemy behaviour into personal hygiene advice??

ofcourse not, the possibility of an opponent doing a strategy in a game is about 132.3% to 140.9% so it only means there must be some inaccuracies in the OP, the question remains where??

Here's a tip: if your opponent talks a lot/attempts to initiate conversation in the first few moments of a game, odds are cheese is happening

Here's a tip, if they don't say gl hf back, scout
if they do say glhf, scout
if they bm you scout,
if they leave the game, you dont need to scout
if they ask what gl hf means, you dont need to scout.
glhf with your games :D

Two things,

Firstly, the OP breaks rule number 1 from the Strategy Forum Guidelines:

"Everything you say must be supported by evidence"

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=113479

The OP has none, what remains is unsupported speculation - and is hence utterly worthless and has no place here.


Secondly:

The activity you are undertaking is not Psychoanalysis (it isn't even psychology); simply because you can google a term and pluck out a definition does guarrantee it's credibility. You ignorance astounds me.

The activity you are undertaking is called 'trolling'. If you do not know what this means I suggest you google it (do you see my irony?).

This thread is yet another example of the pointless rubbish that has reduced the strategy forum to what it is now.

I surely hope that the next purge is of truely Stalinist proportions.

this thread makes me sad.. as one styddying to become a psychiatrist at the moment its sad that things like this is spread on the internet, giving psychology a bad name.

please ignore this thread, in most universities today we have a scientific and professional relation to matters like personality and this thread is far from that

I'm "silent", but it's not because I'm frustrated or have been on a losing streak, it's simply because I don't want my opponent to be lucky, and I couldn't care less whether or not they enjoy the game.

I think this is something that is fun to have in the back of your mind, but you should absolutely not base your play off it, because it's completely case-by-case

i am silent, since i removed all the uneccessary keys from my keyboard, so i have to use another keyboard to chat (which will cost too much time at game start) :-)

Psychoanalysis refers to a type of therapy that was made popular (and invented, if I'm not mistaken) by Freud. If OP described how the manner in which a Toss spread his units reflected upon his subconscious lust for his mother, you'd be more on track.

Also: 12-13% silent, 34-36% self assured, 9-13% criers, 70-80% standard. You've got a minimum of 125% there, buddy.

My thoughts exactly.

Apparenty I'm a crier for saying "Hi. How are you?" at the start of each game.
