I said cost due to scouting.

This means because of scouting.

I said you make one overlord because the other died.

If it wasn't scouting, I can say it is a cost due to scouting if it was caused by the scouting.

Zergtastic if you're reading this - and I mean no offense by this - I suggest you brush up on your maths and/or reading comprehension skills and re-read the entirety of this thread, because it has been clearly stated in many different ways why the overlord sac only costs 100 minerals and you should have by now realised the flaws in your logic.

This thread almost puts me off ever wanting to be any kind of teacher in my life ever; if I have to deal with kids even 1/10th as stubborn as this.

You are correct, it costs 100 minerals.

Thats not cost due to scouting.

If you can tell me why minerals lost = cost due to scouting, I'd be happy to change my mind on this topic. Because ultimately, that is what you are trying to prove, right?

If you're not trying to prove that, you're just trying to say that Im wrong without much insight behind it.

Thats additional minerals spent, not total minerals spent. I could add a "total" sign in front of each and every time I say cost due to scouting, but I thought people would assume its there.
