I was just checking out this replay, and I noticed something weird. Those bridges that I couldn't walk over at some point, are CLEARLY being walked over by DoW's SCVs. wtfSC2
And Q, you seem to have had 42 CCs, and you were landing them around expos. I could see that you weren't mining them, but discovering all of those CCs sitting in expos would give off the impression of "HEY I NEED TO GET RID OF THESE OR ELSE THESE MINERALS WILL BE GONE FOREVER." And knowing how all of these FFAs seem to turn out, trying to secure resources doesn't seem that crazy.
Long story short, Blizzard is retarded for not having obs on defeat.
There was nowhere else to land. I tried to move my last 4 to one that was finally mined out and cleared, but Mucky insisted on hunting them down, and HKS wasted resources building a Nydus just to kill my last one on an island with no resources. When I was down to one last barracks Mucky was like HAY I SEE HIS LAST BUILDING and sent his whole fleet to kill it.
Is it that hard to see how it might make one feel unwelcome?
Q> You had to have mined a whole base out yourself in order to build those 9000 orbital commands. That's a shitload of minerals being devoted to an observer. You know these games are long and drawn out, and those minerals could've made a huge difference had they gone in the hands of an actual player.
Look, I apologize on behalf of Blizzard for not only failing to allow observers on defeat, but also failing to allow in-game allied/shared vision in custom melee games. However, let's not try to compensate for this by having people who want to watch mine minerals just so they can make orbital commands. Ricky and RCX took the two referee slots. That means everyone else is a player, and their actions are going to have an impact on the entire game. Either play or leave.
What was the point of making so many orbital commands? YOU ARE NOT AN OBSERVER. No matter what you do, you are going to be in the way, and the only way to ensure you wouldn't affect the game anymore is to kill everything you have.
I killed everything I could find. I killed Lavarinth's last buildings, I killed SaintKerrigan's last buildings, I killed Ubelwhatever's last buildings, I would've killed DoW's and Krazy's last buildings but I was too busy dealing with players who still had a large force of units. But yes, make this all about you and how you're not welcome in a game with others when my entire point is that I don't want people who do nothing but mine out bases and clutter the map with goddamn orbital commands.

Seriously, what's the point? From what I could gather from chat messages you didn't go out of your way to kill the last of anyone else's buildings.
Do you have any idea what BM is? Because thats what you guys were doing in that FFA doing nothing but mining shit, even Bill wasn't mining after he lost everything and went to have a dance party in a corner of the map.
I also don't think you noticed how huge that map was to find all these Orbital Commands flying around when you are attacking/being attacked.
Those 100/100 resources were an investment to kill you and were far cheaper than morping a Moustache Lord.
