I'm not saying it's my way or the highway lol. Tell him that...because he said it's a WASTE to use mules on a gold.
personally, I have used both methods. i have had more success with dropping mules bc that shit could get raped any second and id rather not lose as many scvs as i need to...
doesnt matter tho, dwalk and i made it pretty clear that saying it's a waste = false/silly statement.
In his view it is a waste.
I think Cpt did bring up one good point, though:

This is what I'm saying, and it is kinda a waste, well, there aren't too many maps with gold bases anymore, but we are talking about terran, it's pretty defensible if you get a pf and siege up around, create a simcity, or whatever. You are not likely to lose a gold base once you occupy it, of course you can lose hard if you gamble and take it too early. But my point is more than valid.
With how little we've seen of pros playing high-stakes games with gold bases (especially since widowmines), it's very difficult to truly say what works best at this point in SC2. From my POV, both are legitimate responses and each has different strengths and weaknesses (mainly, higher income vs map presence). Until we really see the Koreans play high yield bases in pro tournaments with relative frequency, I don't see a definitive answer.
