Topic Bug: Player defeated, match does not end
Nyccine #727

Currently in a ladder game that will not end. I guess my opponent was afk or something because he spawned but took no actions. I destroyed his Command Center and all scvs straight away. Never got victory screen, never even got "player has not rebuilt their base and is being revealed."

Oh well, at least I've finally taken all the bases.

I'd rather not get a loss or draw, but don't want to wait all night. Is this something that can be fixed?

so after an hour and a half of waiting, I get dinged for a tie.

C'mon guys.

Can you post the replay? Thanks. (Upload it to a site like http://drop.sc/ and post the link)

Lol. This is called strategy. He made 1 SCV, to be at 7/11. Then he moved his new scv away, he collected 400 minerals, made a new Command Center, replaced his mining scv like if he was afk, and run away with the new command center in a far corner.

When this happend, you have to go for air units and get that Command Center before the game detect it like nothing happening and comes to a tie.

You mistakes was to don't go air and wait something to happend. It was a free win for you but you did not get it.

Fenix is correct - I looked up your match history and see this match along with the build order of your opponent. First thing you should have done after this was over was to watch the replay to see what happened.

Huh. That's amazing. You know exactly what I did and did not build, without a replay!

No, champ. I actually suffered through an hour and a half game. I made it a point to research every upgrade, and make every unit. Eventually I wanted to see how many Battlecruisers I could, and swept every square inch of the map. I had 12 Orbital Commands, and yes, I scanned. There was "floating CC"

Also, if a player could do this, it wouldn't be a "strat"; it would be griefing, just like players joining team games and instantly quitting. You remember that was a bannable offense in Warcraft 3, right?

FYI, I'm sure the guy got his idea from this video:
