    Re: Backstabing

    But but backstabing is fun... Especially backstabbing someone you know, Mwhahaha. Sure I've been backstabbed but I've also backstubbed other people. Oh and when you and someone you know choose to be on septerate teams to that you can ally later and back stab both the other two guys at once, and then before the game ends backstab the guy you know.

    you are one mean player, lol.

    I've only been backstabed once, but fortunately, our team was winning and we ganged up one him 3 v 1 and destroyed him in less than 2 minutes. However, that didn't stop him from nearly destroying one of my teammates bases before he quit.

    Funny thing was, he forgot to unally me and my other ally, so we destroyed him without taking any casualties.

    Me and my mates used to love playing 2 vs 2 games, with three of us laughing as we all destroyed the helpless strangers base. The threats alone made the "game" fun.

    Other then that, I don't backstab.

    Think Utilitarian, and you'll understand why I play that way.

    Re: Backstabing

    There are very few situations in which backstabbing is justified and/or fun:

    1) In a 7v1 Comp Stomp. These games are ridiculous anyway, and they're only joined to get quick wins. So why not turn the tables and give them a "quick" loss? Plus, it actually takes quite a bit of skill to take down 6 other players. It often requires a large amount of skill in sabotage, the quick use of cloaked units, and the ability to play enemies off each other.

    I was actually in a clan that had set rules for backstabbing in 7v1s. Our initiation rite was destroying 6 unsuspecting opponents in a 7v1 Comp Stomp. If you could succeed, you were in. ;)

    2) When a player is hacking. If a player is hacking, it is the responsibility of his allies to immediately backstab him and kill him if possible. It should be a law.

    3) When you get backstabbed first. It's perfectly okay to annihilate him at that point. :D

    Backstabbing outside of these situations is stupid, childish, and retarded. But always remember, you can't be backstabbed if you're aware and play better than your allies. :D

    too many have tried backstabbing me and have failed to do so.

    No, I don't backstab.

    But some people are stupid and only backstab one ally and forget about the others until they are overrun.

    Add to your list: when it is allowed by the rules set up before the game starts. I've played a few games like this.

    i hate backstabbers that use a lot of nukes at the same time so even if you realise that your being stabbed in the back you can't kill all of them before the nukes come down

    I've seen allies get backstabbed with mass carriers. Not pretty...

    no you have to tell your carriers to attack, with a nuke all you have to do is tell it to drop and everything will be hurt regardless of who it is

    you know, I think i have been backsabbed by this, in a 4v4 match.

    This one ally used only ghosts, and whenever we attacked enemy bases, he kept droping nukes on our own troops, costing us lots of damage and minerals.

    We won the game anyway, I just though he was some noob who didn't know what the hell he was doing.

    wasn't causing me much pain, I only had a few units in the fights because my base was nearly destroyed early ingame by a large zerg rush. I did have a handful of tanks and marines, but I watch the battles and moved my units when he targeted them.

    It didn't affect us too much because we had already killed 2 enemies when he started to do this, he did waste a lot of nukes by canceling them after they were launched because I moved.
