Default Re: Notebook of a Gamer: \"Turtling\"

Hi Goodnews,

As I understood the term "turtling," I didn't think it referred to people temporarily stationing Siege Tanks in their base while they built up a force, or planting a photon cannon at the edge of the plateau to prevent rushes. Turtling was the guy who builds almost nothing but sunken colonies and spore colonies, making it impossible to expand because his well-playing opponent has a mobile force that can take out attempted new bases immediately, meaning he sits there until he runs out of resources and loses to a bunch of reaver drops or siege tanks or whatever. I could be wrong, though, I haven't played that game in years.

Other than that I agree with everything you said.
