Alternatively I do it if it's in a tournament or if I'm streaming live.

Doesn't bother me if my opponent leaves without saying "gg" and I don't consider it bm.\
I was hoping with the release of SC2 this silly habit would go away, but it seems to have not

Why is it silly? I think it makes the atmosphere more friendly. I'm not offended by people who leave without GG tho, but people who say nothing at all when you type gg gl at the start of a game weird me out.

Not because I'm offended, just because it puzzles me why you'd deliberately ignore it. I mean, it's like if someone says "hello" in some everyday situation and you ignore them, but keep on doing whatever it was that clearly involved them.

Calling "GG" a silly habbit at the end of the game is like saying that shaking hands across the net in tennis is a silly habbit.... its pure sportsmanship and theres no question that its bad mannered not to do it. Hence why i actually enjoy when people dont do it, it means ive pissed them off to the point where they didnt they dont want to acknowledge that they lost the game

I don't know about BM or not, but I sure think it seems like the nicer thing to do. At the very least, it sends a friendly message. I remember the first time I got on Bnet and how amazed I was that everyone was so friendly and said "gg" after a game.

If you lose a sporting event, do you have to go to them and say "gg"? Saying "gg" might be a mannered thing to do, but the absence of a "gg" doesn't necessarily mean it's bad mannered; bad mannered would be calling your opponent a faggot before you left... I have no issue with people not saying "gg" in ladder games, there's just not much point to it and I don't want them to feel like it was a "good game": hopefully my games are 1 sided in my favor, thus not a good game from their perspective.

I always GG even if I feel like they won through something gay (4 pool) but it's not a big deal if they don't.

It doesn't bother me when someone leaves without gging. It does bother me when someone doesn't gg back.

If you played when the game was relatively new then you remember that nobody gged and it was mildly annoying when someone left the game before you had a chance to destroy all their buildings. But back then people played for fun and not to be anal e-celebrities I guess.

I don't particularly care if my opponent thinks I played a good game or not. But I don't assume he is a jerk if he didn't TELL me I played a good game. I think messaging someone to complain about them not saying gg is a bigger display of bad manners, to be honest. How anal do you have to be to do that?

I think it's a little bit pathetic when people scream BM if I don't type out. Some people just want an excuse to cock slap you with their e-penis, as it were. Sometimes we'll be in the channel we met in after the game and before I can even say "gogo re? ^^" the person is spamming LOL UMAD BM BM NOOB TROLLFACE LOL so when we regame I switch to Protoss, build a pylon in his worker line and say "is that manner enough for you?" then disc hack his dumb ass.

I couldn't care any less about that, i like it. However i HATE when someone wont leave and they hide buildings and turtle like hell in their new 1 base no unit defense. That pisses me off.

But to answer the real question, i don't care, but i GG so i don't get flamed.

That has always irritated the fuck out of me. Most of the time they are trying to make sure you don't see they don't have AH on or they aren't the specified rank. And minus those reasons, it still annoys the hell out of me for whatever reason.

Doesn't even make sense, Makes me want to rage.

It makes me laugh when some one leaves without gg'ing because it makes me think they rage quit. Only time I don't gg is when I am really pissed at how I play.

Yeah, a lot of the time you do. You say "good game" and you shake their hand. If you watched the olympics you would have seen it a million times.

But not all games are sports. If some kid on the ICCUP ladder thinks he is an athlete at C- then he needs to spend some time in the real outdoors as opposed to the e-outdoors.

I don't gg unless I actually thought it was a good game... I still say something indicative of surrender otherwise but it's usually along the lines of "well, shit"
