Saying the gg when you have the game, before your opponent does is by far the most unmannered thing I can think of, it's really a big pet peeve of mine. I'm really not sure why, I suppose it is insult to injury.
ok?

Good responses to offensive gg is hiding pylons or floating buildings

Then leave the comp for a moment if you feel like it.
If you have to ask, you don't know.

Offensive gg in starcraft is a huge dick move because if your opponent hasn't gg'd yet, he clearly doesn't think the game is over! He hasn't lost yet, and it's his right to fight until he thinks he cannot win, so for you to tell him he is dead before he has come to that conclusion is of course very rude. I'm not sure what other games you are talking about, but I haven't played any where it is ok to tell your opponent the game is over while he is still trying to win.

Yes, this-
I disagree with the offensive GG part of the extracting Zerg tears thread... offensive GG provokes anger, and is not a polite gesture.

Um, many don't leave even when they know that they have lost! There are people who think that it is fun to play and don't just care about stats, you know... Saying "good game" means that you think that it was a good game, how can that be bad mannered really?
People might say it a bit too early sometimes but I don't see the BM of that either. He just thinks that he already got the win and want to express that he liked the game before you got the chance to leave, then in some rare cases you can still fight back and win but what do that have to do with anything?

Lastly people who do offensive GG's are most likely mannered people who don't know about this special starcraft culture where saying gg as the winner before the losers says it is considered bad mannered. "Good game" is after all a compliment...

I say it when I clearly won and wish to convince the other player to quit. I think it's nothing to be ashamed of.

I don't mind an offensive GG if they've obviously won and it was a good game.

Funny when they think they've won and say "GG?" then lose. Even more funny when its your brother

You have a good point.

If I am clearly winning I say "gg?" instead of "gg". I think the question mark means a lot here.

I think people have slowly blown this out of proportion. At its heart good game is a polite remark to end a game acknowledging that you consider the game to have been well-played (not necessarily skillfully, but straight up and in the spirit of true competition) and fought. Some people can be dicks and purposely do it to be offensive when the game is clearly not finished and I understand that this is rude because you are telling them that you have won and they should leave. But I don't think its offensive if the game is clearly over. If you are going to make me mop up your 2 pylons that you built after you had lost in order to waste my time I don't care if you are offended by my gg. I guess you can never really be positive when its over but on the other hand, why isn't it BM to say gg and then leave immediately before your opponent has the chance to say it back?

I once was offensive gg'ed during an elimination race that my terran opponent thought he had won. Unfortunately for him I had taken a hidden expo slightly before the race started and by a stroke of luck had chosen that expo to lay down my ultralisk cavern.

He offensive gg'ed about 30 seconds before 6 ultras came to kill the 2 siege tanks and handful of marines he had left.

Oddly enough we chatted after wards and he was actually an ok guy, just though I was being a prick by not gging when the game was obviously lost.

I do offensive GGs somewhat frequently, and fortunately I've never had someone come back and stomp me. :p

That being said, really... just leave if you have no army and I'm wiping out your main and you have no expo. :|

Yea it absolutely does, its like saying "maybe its time to give up?" as opposed to "I won, you should concede the game"

Well... i guess "maybe its time to give up?" might sound a bit arrogant and bm, i just couldn't come up with a better wording on "gg?"

And yea its true that outside of starcraft people misuse and overuse the term, i dont play many online games outside starcraft but the gg-etiquette (lol) this is very evident.
I cringe a little bit inside every time i see someone type it in the middle of the match... few examples:
*Player gets killed by some "OP" champion - gg is used as a "i give up we can't win this" but keeps playing just as before. So its kinda like a form of whining.
*Player kills someone easily, and types gg - in this case its a taunt and something like what we are discussing in this thread. However it comes off as way too arrogant because i see it as he thinks that he can win this 5v5 game all by himself.

And of course the winners always gg first in LoL, even before the final push, even if its 4v5. And the defeated party rages and types down BG which starts a flamewar which carries out to the after-match game lobby...

But the absolute worst case is when people use gg in the middle of discussion about some in-game element, they say something like "lol gg" in return to my argument, i interpret this as a "lol you are hopeless we are going to loose because of your views"

....
Sorry i just had to get this out of my system...

Also i dislike people who type down gg and don't leave, but strike up a conversation instead, i dont know why but i immediately get paranoid that he's trying to trick me into making my macro slip and has a hidden expo or 2 somewhere, so i start scanning/scouting the map like a madman -.- (my fears never turned out to be true tho, YET)

I offensive gg when the other person qualifies for either of the following...

1) Lifts base to prolong the loss
2) Talks shit
