If my opponent cheesed or annoyed me, I don't gg back. Then I smugly twirl my non-existent mustache and chuckle. If it was just a game, I just say gg. If I really actually liked the way they played I'll throw in a gg wp

I dont really have a problem but one thing if I say gg wp and the other guy goes u2 when I lost the game it makes me rage for some reason. I feel if I played well I wouldn't have lost the game so when they say u2 while they might be good intention pisses me off for some reason lol.

this is why I always just type 'g' right before they leave. Because then they actually always see it. and they wonder what It actually meant. They think I typoed and are just meh about it. Or they can think I meant 'good' like im thankful the guy left already. Or what I really meant 'game' which is just like a thanks for the game thing.
I only type GG when its actually a gg, probably the only trait Idra and I share.
A man is what he thinks about all day long.

I hate hate HATE offensive GGs.

Especially when zergs do it when they cheese me T___T;

Seriously, i played a guy who did a 1base baneling bust, killed some stuff of mine, said GG, and then i waited through 5 more waves of progressively less ling/bling, then killed him.

But i don't hate people replying to my GG's. Don't mind that so much ^^

I remember back on my first week playing sc2, i was in a base race with a bronze protoss, my first one of these situations ever. He had void rays, and i didn't even think of getting spores or queens out. I was killing his base faster and thought i totally had this game won, and i then saw a "gg" in chat. I'm like "oh cool, ive killed his only nexus and he just gg'd, yay a win" Next i notice he was just bringing his voids back to kill my roaches, and then was going to continue working on my buildings with them...I was devastated and felt like i just got trolled hard. Ever since then I've just had a hatred for people offensive gg'ing.

Offensive GG's are the worst. I will force them to kill every single building after that, so fucking bm. I still don't gg that much. There is just not alot of instances where I can say, "yeah you played good, you really earned this win, gg."

Whenever I get offensive gg'ed, I make extractors at every expansion and then leave to get some food and water.

As long as you are not purposedly delaying the inevitable (like Terrans flying their stuff to the corner on the map), people shouldn't just be jerks to each other and simply respect their opponents.

I'm not going to go with the clichee saying 'It's just a game', because some people do take it seriously and put their hearts on line when SC2 is concerned, however, a simple respect & courtesy shouldn't be excluded from it, no matter what.

I think a few people have reading comprehension issues.

The OP is pretty clearly not talking about offensive GG.

And yet somehow your post is even less relevant to the OP.

Getting gg'ed at after I tap out doesn't bother me at all, it might even be the opposite.

Less relevant when I'm not on ladder, although I do get pissed off if they don't gg back and I feel like I made alot of effort to stay in the game. Although people I usually beat never gg back, they just leave the game lol.

However, if I think I can beat them I usually ask for a re (and then get owned again).

I just gg regardless of whether I lose to cheese or bad engagements or being outmacroed. If it was a really good game by the opponent, I'll go "gg wp" and wait for him to go "gg" as well.

I am not bothered by it at all.

I feel it is a quite friendly exchange especially after a decent game where both of you put in a good effort.

Of course, sometimes it's a crap game and I play poorly and I GG and F10 N super fast. XD

no, its perfectly courteous to do so. But i can kind of see how people might want to just get it over with and get out of the game.

Yeah I find it kind of funny when people offensive GG me, with some sort of cheese and I manage to hold, Expand 3 times and a move. I do smurk and curl my non-existant mustache.

But yeah I am talking about when I lose and gg, I try to leave before they GG me back.

gg lost its meaning because its convention now. i dont like it cause it feels like were being conformed to do it. i only gg when its actually a good game. i dont mind offensive gg's only because its something different and unexpected. it makes the game a bit more fun and i just laugh. i feel like were robots now, typing gg all the time.

also if you hate being "gged" to then dont type gg, just leave. dont wrry about being bad mannered, you arnt in a fukin formal event or something .

I only offensive gg cheesers, I think it should be allowed x.x

I'll usually give the opponent(if i win) a little time to quit before i type gg back. gging to me is just customary, I feel obligated to return a gg even if they played particularly bad.

What makes me rage though is when I lose, gg, and then the opponent goes out of their way to chat message me and say gg. ><

The funny thing is that those players think they're being polite and encouraging.

You try to deny people their simple happiness or satisfaction of winning a game because it makes you feel jealous when you are already upset.

It's easy to empathize with that sentiment, but considering that you've won games previously, you should be able to appreciate the courtesy of the reply gg.
