I lost a 1v1 on Desert Oasis against a Terran player in the worst way possible. I beat this guy to pieces, was completely toying with him as Protoss (back when I still played Random). I had every tech building except Stargate and was just totally messing with the guy. I forced him to lift his only CC to the island. Thinking I had all day to just dick around, I continued to screw around and built like... a bunch of Archons and whatnot. I was certainly surprised when a fleet of BC's showed up and slaughtered by production builds.

sometimes when reseting my probe rally point, i accidentally rally them to another probe instead of the mineral line... takes me forever to realize i have a massive game of follow-the-leader going on in one of my bases since the following probes dont' show up as idle.

I can't even comprehend how that could possibly happen. o.o

FFA (wait, has anyone even given an FFA "blunder?") as me with Terran.

After I just finished a FFA where I lost because an enemy Terran started the gaming with walling off his natural with racks, bay and bunker (give him complete access to early expand) I tried to do something similar.

I wall off and then realize that everyone is pretty much stuck in their bases so I decide to play a bit risky. In Metalopolis I take both the gold and the 10.5 o'clock expansion soon enough I have this huge rush of early income. Well, as I tried to spend it (this was when I was starting playing so I wasn't good enough to use my income) I said my minerals go past 3000 so I was like, oh crap. Well since I see all my opponents building spine crawlers, photon cannons, bunkers and plannetary fortresses, I dont' want to have my bases undefended so heck, why not.

I built about 20 Command Centers which all turned into Plannetary Fortress. Totally awesome plan. I wrapped them around my gold expo and made a wall from the gold to the 10.5 expansion, aimed specifically to stop the 1 o' clock Protoss. (And for a while it detered him from engaging since fighting 3 PF mid game is not something you want to do in FFA).

At this point I still had too much money and no space to build more CC's (Well, i coudl float them downwards but that wouldn't really do much.

How about 6 Starports making Bcruisers? AWESOME. Being the only person with a gold and 2 expos ahead of everyone else who's in their naturals, I decided to become the top dog attacking everyone at once. Well...didn't work. The top right player had photon cannons lining his entire base. The bottom right was just the same. The Bottom left (under me) was a Zerg with an inconceivable number of mutas.

I stopped going for the protoss players as they had too many cannons (top right would eventually kill bottom right) and tried to eliminate the Zerg.

Well, everything I had died as Bcruisers happen to be good against mass ground and solo air (air to air in equal numbers).

Apparently what ended up happening was top right Protoss ended up with mass carriers and killed the mutas really easily and then all my Plannetary Fortresses (which don't have axles on their guns, forcing them to shoot straight, rather then tilting up 10 degrees).

Blah~ I should've just turtled...

Playing 2v2 on twilight fortress I went mass ghosts and mass nukes (5)... We both got up to 200 supply for all 4 of us and they attacked first... Well... I dropped all 5 nukes... on our army... which was at our front door... huge misclick... destroyed our entire army and our entire front door... without hitting the other players... at all...

I once meant to build a spore crawler, but because S and A are right next to each other, I wound up building 2 extra spawning pools.

I also accidentally rallied some workers to a vespene geyser and found out about 3 minutes later that there was this line of 15 drones waiting to mine gas (I still won the game because I found out that my opponent only ever made 30 SCVs compared to my 70 drones).

There was also my overlord spawning spree and wound up with 150 supply worth of overlords when my actual supply was about 70.

I've made something like 20 infestors when I could have sworn I only made about 4.

I have also made Ultralisks. Ahahahahahahaha, get it?

I'm pretty sure the things that have kept me out of platinum are all my really really stupid mistakes.

TvT metalopolis, i tried the lift-off to gold minerals cheese

but i decided to build a supply depot on the edge of my ex-main
before i lifted off (for spotting, vision)

when i got to the gold minerals, i found my opponent already there, mining.

Well my friend beat my other friend but he lifted his cc onto the island of LT and came back and won since for some reason he didn't make any anti air units....

Probably the worst I've done was on desert oasis when I was in the north as zerg. There were 4 hellions running into my nat frying drones, and I had about 12-15 hydras chilling below my ramp. So I a moved them behind the nat and went to deal with base stuff. When I came back my hatchery was dead. So apparently instead of a moving them behind the hatchery, I accidentally clicked the hatchery itself and it went down pretty fast.

I still won though, so it was okay.

First game of Starcraft 2 ever. I go to options to change mouse settings at start of the game. I click ok once I'm done, and I think I'm out of the menu. I press S for make scv, and apparantly, the S key is actually for surrender. 10 seconds into my first game of SC2, I lost.

S key on hatch means select larva, S key with workers selected means stop mining and sit there like a rock.

It is important not to mix these up, or else you will notice a horrendous drop in minerals per minute.
