This is gold man! I listened to the whole commentary and it so covers what i meant. GJ

I rmemeber this game OvsO on LT.

One of them gets a few wood while flaming his oponent saying stuff like "You hack, how can you destroy my only building like this! please dont control my units! U hacker, I report you! blabla, etc...", then builds a ninja (hidden) town hall and kills his starting one with peons.

The other guy was so confused when he couldn't see any building of his opponent at any starting pos, he left...

The guy earned rep of the week on Replayers :)

This was first done as terran in StarCraft with terran :]

I have said once to enemy, that i really have to go, so please leave, pease please please :D And he did, i just saw that i will lose :D It was vs lvl 35, and i thought - WHAT THE FUCK ?!?!?!? :D:D

Wall of text didnt read

So basically, there are 2 ways to trick your enemy: by chatting (which most of you tend to relate) and by playing in a confusing way (which is what the thread maker meant I think).

You cannot do much by chatting, because all the noob tricks like hiding a main and kicking the starting one, etc. will never work against a good player and often not more than once and even... when I was a complete newbie, with the ELL that was going with that, I experienced as many stupid tricks (which were supposed to make me leave or take it easy) as possible, but none of them worked, without that I really heard about them before...

But what you can do is getting a slight advantage by using disinformation. For example, I had once more than 90% in elf mirror but only 20% against undead which was really handicapping me. So I started whining at start, including stupid statements about the matchup (to lead the opponent to take it easier and do the strat that I want to face). With this and only with this I moved to 55-60% in the matchup. But you must consider that even though I had 20% I was very often close to winning, so the advantage I needed was very very slight.
A part from that, you can often know what your enemy will do just by chatting with him. 90% of the times, an enemy saying nothing, not even answering (as long as u don't try to get harassing and you don't insult him) will do an unorthodox strategy, often based on mass towers and base/workers raids. If they whine, they will more likely do a tower rush (50% of the time) or use it as a slight advantage like aforementioned but also use a cookie cutter strategy in the same time (other 50%). There are many small things as these that you can easily notice and use; even the nickname of your enemy can give you informations. As long as you don't rely on it but get ready to certain things, you will have a definitive strategic edge in the game. It is also good to remember the name (even write it down) in order not to get caught a second time by an unorthodox strategy, which a lot of people often abuse: if they do it once, they will do it again.

Unfortunately, since it's been some months since I really played actively or even just played, I don't see anymore of this kind of tricks to tell you, but you can easily find your own. But keep in mind that you must never rely on any information you get this way, just take them as indications and eventually change your scouting in order to make sure he's really doing that, but keep playing hard and safe, even though sometimes it is good and fun to gamble and win (even if you get caught some other times)!

About using tricky strategies/variations, I recommend you the audio commentary of sasuke, but keep in mind that you have to make your own experiences and that there is always room for improvement, in any style of playing. I would also suggest you that an enemy who's focussing a lot (too much) on creeping is easy to trick with an expansion, a straight tech, a special mix of units, or even riskier creeping, but actually faster than his own, and that an enemy always bull rushing you is easy to beat by taking the time to wait for him, going for his base, or making an expansion that you can hide from him well enough; some extra base defenses can also help in this case.

P.S. Once, I was always getting caught by human tower rush with Naga, and unable to counter it properly. I was then asking enemies how to counter it, but no one was answering, even in gaming forums, and the only people I knew in wc3 were all worse than myself, so I started to write enemies' names down, who were doing that and I simply waited for them with towers/pit lord or any kind of fun stuff that was a good counter to it but not a decent strategy at all. Guess what ? I always got tower rushed by them, even 3 or 4 times by the same enemies, not even changing a single thing in their strategy; that's kinda ironic, since the same guys tell you how you suck and that you cannot adapt, that you play cookie cutter and that they are just innovative. Priceless.

P.P.S. I enjoyed sharing these experiences with you and I hope you it will help you all picking up your own tricks.

once i was playing and i tell my opponent i was MYM|Moon and he left
