Step 1. Fail a cannon rush. Step 2. Expand with a forge but forget the cannon. Step 3. Narrowly escape death by mass speedling + baneling with zealot + stalker + cannon. Step 4. Transition into normal game. Step 5. Scout mass hydra roach. Step 6. Mass up some colossus with ground units and attack. Step 7. Crush roach hydra. Step 8. Observe the opponent's first message, "co-lol-sus." Step 9. Respond to the clever pun with a "lol." Step 10. Eradicate all traces of enemy as he has gone AFK out of shame. | ||

Whenever I want to rub it in and/or make someone admit their idiocy out loud, I would ask them why they did something so they (and I) can hear themselves saying it. Example: "Why would you even think about driving home after taking 10 shots of 151?" I am trying to get them to tell me their rationale out loud because I want them to realize how stupid they are. I wasn't trying to rub anything in. I was trying to potentially acquire a new "weapon". Presumptuous of you to assume otherwise. What is the point of wanting to hear the reasoning behind his decision making? It wont help you because it obviously cost him the game. The only reason I can think of is if the decision was so bizarre that "I didn't think you would do what you did" can't possibly be a logical explanation (say if he scouts mutas coming his way and decides to pump zealots). As I mentioned several times already, it was interesting. Just because he lost doesn't necessarily mean his strategy is bad. I would just put it in statement form next time under the pretense of giving friendly advice. Chances are hes gonna try to defend his actions with whatever thought process he had too if he doesnt think youre being an asshole. True. But it isn't exactly common practice to write rough drafts and go through several rounds of editing just in case some qq'ing 17-year-old can't deal with his losses properly. My responses above in bold. | ||

Not to completely derail the thread but you are either really young or you are one of those kids who is often responded to negatively in person and can't understand why. You need to take your ego out of your reply's and actually read what people are telling you. To put it in a real world example: "You watch a soccer game and a goalie misses an easy stop, the other team scores and the goalies team loses. Right after the game you come up to the goalie and ask him "hey, why did you not block that shot, it was an easy one to get?" How do you think he is going to react? Do you think he doesn't know that he screwed up? You are rubbing his face in his loss, its not a mystery why he is pissed. I would be pissed to. The last thing you want to hear from the guy who just beat you is how you screwed up. Its not the communities fault that people are reacting badly to what you said, its your fault. If you come in a forum, post something, and every post disagree's with your analysis, thats not because sc2 gamers are antisocial. Its because you are wrong. Deciding that you are smarter than everyone else who has replied is arrogant. This feeling is further reinforced by your smug assertion that "hey I don't take the ladder seriously, why does anyone else?" No one asked how you feel about the ladder, it doesn't matter. Its not an issue in this situation. The community isn't anti-social. You are just not listening to it. You seem like a nice guy, just take your ego out of your thinking and read what people are saying. You will save yourself a lot of grief in this game, and in real life. To the actual thread topic. I get matched against another T (TvT) on Steppes of War. I go MM with a few tanks and an expo. He fails a proxy rax, then matches my MM +tanks with ghosts and nukes. He fails to push up my ramp, I take a third and transition into tank+viking and take map control. He responds with mass thors after I deny his third (he can do this due to his 3k minerals and 1k gas..). I decide I can just keep massing tanks off of 3 factories to counter his thors (I can't) and I lose. Last two lines consist of this: Me: gg Him: noob Not real exciting BM but jesus, isn't winning the game enough for people D: | ||

I have a friend who played Human in war3 and somehow got into a stalemate with a guy who played UD. All my friend had left was a Paliden near his last building. The UD tells him to leave, my friend refuses. This is how it goes down: UD Guy: Leave newb My friend (human): Come kill me UD: I can wait as long as you can Human: Ok My friend then turns off his monitor, gets up, and goes to lunch. He comes back hours later (not an exaggeration, literally hours later). The game is still up. My friend then creeps the rest of the map, gets his Pali up a few levels, goes over to the UD's base and starts killing his army with the shield on (makes him invincible for a short amount of time). After about 15 minutes he kills the UD and wins the game. He still has the replay, its huge. (The UD was also afk of course, just hadn't ever returned) | ||

The ladder doesn't matter until you get to the upper, upper echelon and it's going to be wiped soon anyway. It's not my opinion that the ladder, especially now, is meaningless; it's a fact.

I see, fair enough. If it was me on the receiving end of your question, I would just tell you what I was thinking. I dont take SC losses too badly unless it was something I felt I should have avoided, in which case I wouldnt take my anger out on my opponent. But its still understandable why other people might find it offensive. Since its all text, no one can hear your tone when you say what you say. Being pissed off at a loss and knowing the prevalence of internet BM, its not strange that he would assume that youre just being a douchebag. This was just a misunderstanding. Id ignore the TLers giving you a hard time if you werent actually trying to be an asshole. This sort of shit happens online all the time unfortunately | ||

This isn't a press conference and we are not proffesional football players. We are people playing a video game. You are not asking someone who is payed win or lose, how they feel 15-20 minutes after a game they lost. You are asking a player 2 minutes after they lost, how they feel about losing. Its totally different. ]This is another logical fallacy. Just because a lot of people say something is correct or incorrect doesn't mean that it is therefore correct or incorrect.

Got cannonrushed. I type something like "have fun in higher leagues, fucker" and do a ragequit. Check out his profile, and he's in diamond in 1v1 and 2v2. Since that embarassing ragequit I don't type shit when I lose... I bet he giggled at me. | ||

What an idiot. You fucking won with a 4gate. Whether or not it was the "right decision," he probably didn't give a shit after a gas steal. If you already know that he "should have prepared" for a 4gate, you gain absolutely nothing by asking him why he didn't "prepare properly." You're basically typing to him, "why did you play so badly to my 4gate." Christ kid, you're really that dense you don't understand why you look badly? He even told you not to message him, and you think THAT is QQ or BM? No, then you're just trolling the kid you just 4gated. You're awful. Hypocrisy at it's greatest. | ||

ok, i am a 3v3, 4v4 terran player and i started from bronze and advance to gold (rank 1) now pending for promotion to plat... i can't be bothered with the "avatar" and i leave it at the default. so today, i was playing another 3v3 opp was slightly favored, 2 protoss and 1 terran. My team consist of all terrans. The BMer was going for banshee and i am doing 5 rax push, the other team mate was going mm as well. As usual, he built his 1st banshee and went on to harass the mineral lines, it was at the 7min mark and i move out with my MM mix and went on hitting the ramp of opponent. Noticed 1 carrier at the ramp with basically no ground units, and i broke through the wall and got into their base. Basically i took out the nexus and then come the cavalry from the other team mates, and i lost all my units. In the mean-time i ping my team-mates that there are carriers... Still continuing macroing and upgrading my MM, i move out 2nd time when my units are at 1atk and 2 Armour.... hitting the wall again, and in the process killing off 1 carrier with 2 remaining... and then the BM hero came with 6 vikings (no upgrade) and 4 banshee... at this point, i have 6 rax and tons of marines and muraders.. he killed off 2 carriers, and then he shouted in CAPS... GET ANTI-AIR YOU NOOB..... in the mean time, i was too busy killing off the 2nd nexus and 2 members of the opponent left, leaving 1 terran behind. I asked him, is he calling me a noob? He then went out shouting that we did nothing, and he basically kill off all the enemy... i was bluffed, he did harass with banshee BUT not getting any bases.. with 3atk 3armour now.. and tons of marines, in what way they are not anti-air for 3 carriers? anyway, i asked him to watch the reply before he start calling me a noob, and then all the nice words came out and tell me to stop playing SC2... and he even claimed that his "6" vikings can kill off ALL my units.. with NO upgrade....... So eventually, the enemy terran managed to push up with thors and tanks and literally kill off his main while i am clearing off the enemy bases with my MMM... after the game, i checked his stats.... he is a BRONZE player at rank 26.............. sorry for the long posts, but i have to get it off my chest... LOL | ||

agreed... so you 4 warp gate someone who is trying a different strategy and then you rub it in his face after the game? He asks you to not message him and you make him out to be a rager? and you assume he is shit because "for some reason" he threw up 3g forge? are you mad bro that he stole your gas? huh? | ||
