i think it's hilarious when people act like idiots when you don't "gg" thereby losing the sliver of moral high ground they are using to justify acting like an idiot.

It's not that big of a deal.

This discussion is like the discussion in HoN about conceding. The reason of this rage is that the winning player deserves something for his win, in BW it is the GG, in HoN / DotA it is the free kills and dominating with your expensive items.

I usually GG, but I don't consider it bad mannered in the least to not say it and leave.

When the computer types gg to me in sc2 I call it a stupid fucking newbie who should learn to play.

I don't see how we can be offended. Sure, it is a common gesture nowadays but you can't blame someone that didn't perceive the game as 'good' for not typing out.

Every time I gg when I lose or my opponent types gg when he loses I always hear in my head Korean commentators screaming GG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. So when they don't gg I lose the satisfaction of hearing the Koreans awesome screams

When my opponents leaves without gg, I'm happy because I know I pissed him off =D. About the manners, typing gg just proves you have good manners, so not typing gg makes you not-prove-you-got-good-manner =D. Not that it's something offensive in it. I Personally always leave with gg (except in small occasions, like once in a month, where for example: some guy in cw 2 proxy gates me 3 times in a row and I lose 1-2 :@!!! ;D),

People who stay despite obviously having lost already deserve the "offensive gg"

im sort of neutral but afterwards if they asked for a re i say no(i care but at the same time i dont really care, does that even make any sense?:s), if they cant take the time to say gg then why would i waste my time giving them a re, most people who say its not a big deal are the average casual gamers.. gg is the equivalent of a handshake in a sport, not gging is disrespectful to your opponent

I usually just expect that they just forgot to gg. I do that sometimes; reverse the order of F10-e and enter-gg lol.

I do find it funny how many people take more pleasure in the other person not saying gg. If you've got a tendency to do that, then hope to dear god you yourself gg every game. Missing one would just make the loss that much more shameful.

The only thing that bugs me is when someone GGs and then floats his shit all over the map for me to hunt down...

I only say gg if it was actually a good game. If you got a noob ally in 2v2, or your opponent abused a blatant imbalance in the game, then I'd have to say saying gg would be ridiculous.

Edit: And no I don't consider it bad mannered. What is bad mannered however is cockily saying GG at the beginning of the game.

i get kinda surprised when i get a little lag spike and see ".... has left the game!" before " .... : gg" but i don't mind it. i used to rage a bit at how op the other race would be, until people did it to me, and give me so much satisfaction. now i just gg and leave so they don't get any enjoyment out of it.
