Broodwar has been around for a long, long time, and as play becomes more and more refined, we start to see less and less innovation. This isn't yet another "zho noes, bw is dying?" posts, but rather one to bring some fun back into this game, as it's been starting to fade for me. Hence why I made the blind SC topic awhile ago. :p
Now. Onto point: I want to hear (and see reps, if possible) of everyone's craziest strat wins. Anything, from just being cute with Queens to rushing with shield batteries and intimidating your opponent with your sheer ability to save energy.
I'll start things off, though, sadly, I do not meet my own optimal criteria by not having a rep. I've won two games with this (lost one) and I'll describe the more skilled of the two.
I made a random game on LT (yeah, yeah) and felt like playing TvT, oddly enough. So, I choose our humanoid counterparts, waited, and fate brought me one of the massive numbers of turtling terrans lurking on B.Net. I asked him if he was ready and he eloquently replied, "fuck u."
I knew this was going to be fun.
I watched the timer go down and just before it hit one, I had a stroke of brilliance. I was going to try something new. I was going to try something so utterly retarded that it had to win by someone completely being caught off guard by it.
I was going to four barracks.
Landing in at nine o'clock, I send my starting SCVs out to mine that sweet blue nectar, waiting impatiently for 150 to hit and hoping like hell that he doesn't scout me fast. I send out one of the faithful to the center of the map, where my 4rax went up, a monument to riskiness, retardedness, and fun. As my Barracks neared completion, I caught sight of exactly what I didn't want to see. An enemy SCV. He had scouted my barracks, but would it be enough?
I sent the eight SCVs I had out, scouting six and finding that beautiful luck was once again with me, discovering my flamer opponents base. One rine accompanying, another in queue, I charged him with literally everything I had, including my CC which I had floating on the way. He had no rines up yet, but one was about to pop out, heading to a bunker being built near his mineral line. I desperately tried to surround it with my SCVs, but with my awesomely noobish hands I missed. I had gotten some shots off with my rine, but it hadn't done enough damage to kill it off.
In a moment of clarity, I decided to attack the SCV building the bunker, unleashing a mighty cry as my SCVs jetpacked over towards it menacingly. By this time, his own SCVs were swarming me, outnumbering my own. It was a struggle to micro at a blazing 60 apm (don't knock the speed, yo), but I managed to keep my rines alive. However, the bunker was nearly complete and I hadn't killed the SCV making it! I relaunched myself full force at that lone unit as his retreated, sure of their victory now that the bunker was to be built. The SCV finished the bunker, slid away and that crybaby of a rine rushed forward, trying to dive into the bunker.
He was, apparently, at five health. One of my unmicroed, forgot about SCVs that was near his CC, picked him off turning around for just a second before going back to happily sawing off pieces of his main.
I was rewarded with my efforts by another "fuck u" and even got the praise of "u fucking cheater" before he decided he'd overcomplimented me and left the game.
And there it is, about five minutes of gameplay in a super-long, pointless write up. I'm sorry if I've unduly wasted anyone's time. I just like writing and trying to make everyday gaming as fun as possible.

hmm i got a rep somewhere of me winning a pvp where both of us 2gate into goons. i make like expoing and he goes to do the same. i see this, take all of my probes and time it so that i surround his goons with probes and rape with goons. my friend was obsing, it was pretty sexy =p

I played this kid in a pub last week, and he dropped after I was beating him (2gate rush). I found him again, and he 2gate proxied, so I lost as I couldn't scout it.
So, I found him a third time, went 2gate/forge, and cannoned his main. He retreated to the corner expos while I expanded myself (I intentionally wanted to act like a douchebag, seeing as he's a disc'er), and quickly maxed out and then literally took every expo on the map.
After a while, I got bored. I stormed my own army until it was mostly dead, then suicided what was left into his cannons.
I then massed DA's with MC. From here, he took out two of my expos at the top with some zealots, so I MC'ed them and finished off what I couldn't MC due to lack of energy. At this point, I'd almost mined out the entire map, as almost every expo was saturated do to me making so many probes.
I left four DA's at the top middle expo, and just as I suspected, he attacked it...but with five carriers. I stole four, killed the fifth, and laughed.
He dropped.

still upset it wasn't a pimpest play =(
amazing how the map design worked out in our favor though, with just barely enough room over each patch of water so it would be hit on either side or by a goon on those super small patches of island

One time I played a game vs a good friend on Rush Hour. Me T and him P. I got screwed over by an early reaver drop, but somehow I gundam'ed or something, and ended up nearly killing him. His shuttle died. He had to walk his reaver all the way across Rush hour to save his main. Then he walked his reaver all the way back to my base to kill me. I died. It was funny as hell watching his poor reaver walking all the way across the map.
It was one of the more fun ways I lost.

Wow, that was epic. So many little things that could've been wrong, but ended up being just enough to win.

started with a 10/10 gate into fast double shield battery rush. The positions were 12/6 on LT and it was pretty much a 66% chance for me to get it right, but no...the guy was at 6 -_-. It ended up being a 50 minute game with alot of storms, lotta drops, and 200/200 fights. Pretty fun, but I got pissed off he wasn't dying so I made hallucinated archons and just raped him. No deflier / queen = hahaha.

i once played a lost temple game against a protoss... pvp. i ended up at 6 and he ended up at 3. I went cannon push across map. pretty retarded game but i still won

I won a 3v3 hunters noob! game. Me and my allies decided to go triple P and only build probes, cannons, and scouts for units that can attack. We won too, but the rep is corrupted by now.
