Common Terms and Items of 419-users (Part II)



410 Victoria Street: YC's cybercafe. New base of knifing and headshotting. YC has put up pictures of Raz and Druggy on the walls.

Batu Api: Ability to incite racial hatred among the 3 races of SC. Looks innocent but is extremely deadly.

Breaking the ramp: using mass numbers to break choke points or sexy tactics like Cors web.

Bum: Pip Drop out: free 2 on 1 battle.

DOU: Defender of Universe. No idea where Raz got that name.

Evil laugh: only YC possesses such a skill. Strong candidate for evilest laugh in the universe.

Fast DT: quick tech to DT to stop any ground troops. Risky if opponent rushes for fast obs.

Fast muta: YC's former favourite tactic. Decent against terran to keep them home or zerg who's slow to get hydra.

Hydra king raz: Fast expand + more hydras than you can count

Lag: bnet on fri night :(


Nuke-king: Druggy for inventing the nuke push....

Playing to best of one's ability: YC's ultimate claim to fame. Its always the teammates' fault. :)

Sexy: going for tech, less troops but more micro to make up numbers. Most stylish way to win. Eg by mind controlling carriers/dropship or smart storm etc. Term created by ghostroc and perfected by Druggy.

Solid: pure mass. best complement to sexy. Solid & Sexy : The ultimate combination. Very dependent on teamwork.

Smart storm: using multiple psionic storms to cover a wide area. Maelstrom is optional.

Stealth cannon: building cannons in fog of war areas in opponents base. Requires teammate to go solid to counter rush.

Stealth camper: CS term. Ability to constantly change camping spots. Mainly used by Druggy and now picked up by JT.

Super Ling drop: YC tactic of camping with multiple spires, sunken while quick teching to super lings and drop.

Surgical strike: hit & run harassment to slowly whittle away enemy troops. Usually ghostroc with his hydras.

Telekom: Inefficient, ripoff of a company

Tossgirl: Every 419er wants a girl who can kick their arse in SC.

When is Pip Going To Update The Blog?

As the title of the Blog indicates, this Blog HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED IN AGES. What will happen to this Blog? Will the Blog fall into the hands of evil and neglect? Has the flame of spitefulness been doused already?
