Spotting/Dealing With Backstabbers
Submitted by Scottie_theNerd
--WAYS OF SPOTTING A BACKSTABBER--
1)They build in your base without prior permission
2)They ask to build "defense" in you base, which is usually photon cannons, ready to backstab.
3)After you trash the enemy, and the game don't end, look at the way everyone is playing. He who has the most units and is CONTINUING to produce units is most likely the backstabber.
4)Silent players are also potential backstabbers.
5)If an ally puts a large force outside or inside your base, backstab them first.
6)If in a team game, and player does not ally, therefore backstabbing.
--DEALING WITH A BACKSTABBER--
1)Always be stronger than them. If they outpower you, then you're screwed.
2)Don't flame the guy. Take the defeat with honour and kick his a$$ some other time.
3)If the backstabber has targetted a specific player, this usually makes him vulnerable to counterattack by you.
CreepColony's Opinion: Also, people that go mass cloaked units are potential backstabbers...especially if you have no detectors. And sometimes people who break "rules" (like no rush 15 min) get backstabbed.
