    I just finished a TVT, I am very noob but clearly won. we both pushed out at the same time but I managed to destroy much of his base before he arrived at mine. I had far greater forces so split to destroy his army in my base and finish off his. At this stage the 3 or 4 buildings he had left including a CC lifted off and hid in various corners of the map. I then was forced to build vikings to find all of his hidden buildings which he clearly was unable to use to establish a new base as he had no resources. He was obviously just try to annoy me enough to leave but it was obvious that once i had vikings I would easily be able to destroy all his buildings and win the game. Is this bad gamesmanship common? Can you report stuff like this?

    Also would be helpful to know exactly what you can report someone for..

    Thanks

    Pretty sure this isn't worthy of being reported.


    Blizz should fix this by making floating structures decay or burn down after 5 minutes or so, until they land.


    Butttt they won't.

    get used to it is all.

    Dont think it worth reporting, Blizzards got bigger things to worry about. It is very poor gamesmanship when people do stuff like that.

    The guy didn't cheat or anything, so it's not reportable. He played completely fairly, within the rules. You have no grounds for complaint.

    But for god's sake, don't quit! Just build a few vikings and go shoot it down! Quitting means that you got beaten by a dude lifting off some buildings. Letting him win that way encourages the behavior to continue. If players don't let people win like that, people will do it less. If players do let people win like that, they'll do it more.

    This is part of the reason why I will build a quantum supercomputer capable of controlling space-time. I will then be able to beat the crap out of such losers.

    -

    Of course, he might have been pissed off too. Maybe he had a bad day or something, and didn't want to accept defeat, maybe he thought you guys were "OP". Be considerate?

    I have a spare one. Selling it cheap. Interrested?
    It can relocate itself to you instantly and have it's access codes insta-changed to what you'd put. Does that by reading your brainwaves.

    You don't. Understand that my computer can read your mind and it says your specifications are low-end. I know...

    Poor sportsmanship, since game was clearly lost, but it's whatever. It's a video game so you're gonna have a lot of immature kids playing.

    I've only reported someone once, which was in a 4v4 when one of my allies was team killing another ally. The good ally killed the bad ally and we went on to win the match (barely, it was a struggle being down one and one weakened). I reported the TK, as this is flagrantly unacceptable.

    You should not report him, be generous! He made a little mistake being a sore loser - but reporting him would not only result in a lifetime ban from Bnet but might also trigger police action and public prosecution. After all, this was not just some annoying bm, but a serious and grave breach of law, justice and the principles of humanity. This guy's life would be ruined - at least 5 years behind bars - just because he didn't think hard enough for one stupid moment. So although you would have every right to report him and make him pay for this outrageous act, which was beyond the average criminal behaviour, I think it would be somewhat of an overreaction. There is a proverb in German along the lines of "tempering justice with mercy".
