If there's no income, production, or units killed for 3 minutes (a timer shows up), the game ends.
The problem I foresee is end of epic game, map mined out, two maxed armies poking around without fighting, and the game is like FIGHT NOW OR YOU GET A TIE KTHXBAI
I mean win/loss for both players? Or does it get ignored...?
Ezekiel on
I will throw you on the land and hurl you on the open field. I will let all the birds of the air settle on you and all the beasts of the earth gorge themselves on you. I will spread your flesh on the mountains and fill the valleys with your remains. I will drench the land with your flowing blood all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh. - Ezekiel 32: 4-6

There is a "tie" setting for custom games. It just says "tie" in your match history.
I would like to share a moment of hilarity from game 4 of last night's bo5:
While clicking on a queen, tapping 'v', and clicking on a hatchery (literally during the progress of these physical actions) I was thinking to myself (click) "Wait, why am I doing this? I have my queens hotkeyed! ('v') I know how to not do this! I should be using the minimap! (click) What the hell is happening to me?
I cannot wait to hear what iNcontroL has to say about my spiral into terribadness.
I don't mind the stalemate change at all. It's going to kill a lot more stupid ass games than it is innocent epic games, and since it isn't the death penalty and human beings, it is acceptable

Heh; I forgot to hotkey anything except Nexuses in the game I was macroing for. Click-click-clicking everywhere.
That's a lot more doable when you don't have to actually fight, though.

The two things stuck in my head are:
"Assimilator first" and the Zerglings running through Joe's base doing nothing.

Wait, so I was using more hotkeys than you?
Now that's pretty funny.
Probably--since Protoss don't need hotkeys for warpgates (it's permanently set to 'w' for the standard control layout) I was just using that and clicking everywhere for robo units and upgrades.
You only need a few colossi, generally, so if you can afford to be staring at your base the whole time anyway there's not as much need to hotkey things.
I saw that, and in truth immortals aren't terrible against hydralisks. They go about cost-for-cost in small numbers (i.e. before the immortal's fat ass starts to screw things up for his team). The real crime there was that he already had the tech for colossi--making the immortal truly pointless.
Very entertaining, though.

Oh also FGM, my favourite moment was when Trus played the videos with you in them 8-)
Trus's value has increased ten fold after last night,we can't afford him any more. The best we can do is colourfully describe the games to you in the thread. Sorry!

my streak of first round losses is looking pretty solidly like it'll continue with me being paired up against effeh

That was one of the games where hlprmnky could have just attacked and won at almost any time until the Colossus came out
...what? Now I'm going to have to watch these replays for sure. :rotate:
once you had the hydras out, you would have been able to a-Move thru my stalker/sentry ball. until the collosus.
as for the immortals, i think that i didn't have the bay down, as i dropped 3 robos at the same time. i'll check though.
callow, you saved the replays, right?
---
on edit - game 4 - only 3 immortals came out because the bay didnt drop until after the three robos, and i produced 3. 1 died right away, 2nd died taking out his natural, 3rd survived.
hlprmnky - watch that game, you totally could have beat me a-moving until the collosus popped. i'm going to take a closer look at game 3, but i think that you just blundered your way to a loss there. The back alley in shakuras is a trap.
--- on edit ---
yeh, you completely blundered game 3 away. i'm using blunder in the chess sense, you made very bad moves more than me making good moves.
game 2... i'll look at your reactions, but if you scouted and only saw a pylon, in a non-walloff position, your bat-alert should have went off and and assumed cheese incoming.

iNControl said it best:
"The Zerg player has so many Hydras but doesn't want to attack with them. He probably played too much Sim City before Starcraft. Well, the Protoss guy has just started making Colossus. I predict he will win by accidentally bumping them into the Hyrda army."
LOL because he was right.

it wasn't just the hydras, he could have rolled me with his hydras, roaches and 'lings.
maybe elimination game nerves got you callow. you should have skated to the win game 4, or you thought i had a larger force than i did....

double retreats
joe K countering hlprmnky's mutalisks with colossus
hlprmnky's marathon runners killing the rocks to the east of the base and then expanding to the west in between the two bases
You only need a few colossi, generally, so if you can afford to be staring at your base the whole time anyway there's not as much need to hotkey things.
And the immortals dieing in 1 second each.
Very entertaining, though.

hlprmnky being totally on the ball with spawn larva and having tons of them, but not using any with his thousands of resources
more double retreats
Roach vs Zealot base race (with incontrol's threat to hit a child, which would be justifiable by the charity donations)

You could have won so easily.
SO EASILY.
The chat was going CRAZY.

"He's going to accidentally get colossi and he will accidentally win the game"
Pretty positive after he said this Joe built 3 robo's.
Then produced immortals.

For the PA tournament? Maybe, if I get my paper done before it starts (and if Lemming takes me out first round...which he will)
