Why should people be required to say "GG" if they dont actually think it was a good game? You lose the meaning of the phrase and it just becomes robotic. I'm really not sure how its bad mannered or how it could even bother someone.

If your grandma gives you cookies that suck, you say thank you regardles.

If your opponent gives u a cheesy 6 minute game, you say gg.

I REALL get annoyed when I've lost badly last game and my new opponent types "gl hf" when the next game starts.

#care about people leaving without typing gg though ;>

I think gg'ing has become common Starcraft etiquette. I see it as the respectful handshake after a match. That being said however, I don't get upset when people don't say it. I figure they're either raging (which I agree makes me feel like I've accomplished something) or not familiar with the Starcraft scene.

It's like someone signing off on aim mid-conversation. Kind of an "oh....ok" feeling.

And yes I know the concept of "internet etiquette" is blasphemy. All I have to say to that is

it's more like

if a stranger you probably have never met before gave you a cookie that sucked, you don't say gg

I would say GG to a stranger who gave me a cookie because I would have said it before I bit into it and found out it sucked.

I would say GG regardless though because the stranger may shoot me if I don't say GG for the free cookie.

You don't have to be an Idra to be a cool kid in starcraft.

If a stranger told me GG after I gave him a cookie I'd be really freaking excited and probably start talking about Starcraft with him...

Most of the people I play leave without gg. When someone types it in I get stumped. I even leave a lot without typing gg. Mostly because my gameplay is still random at best.

I always say gg after a game, regardless of how poorly I played, what cheese my opponent used, or how angry I am that they used it. It's just a measure of control. The Starcraft scene has developed the gg to the point where not saying it is an anomaly, so I will type out gg at the end of a game.

That being said, I always give my opponents the benefit of the doubt if they do not gg. Just because they play Starcraft does not mean that they are familiar with the place the gg holds in the Starcraft scene. I consider it BM, but I realize that my opponent may not mean any BM by it.

gg'ing for your opponent is ridiculously BM and there is no excuse for it.
There is but one truth.

it's not bm, but still, it would be nice to gg.

Unless I pull off a Flash and rape some Zerg's base with 30 +3 attack siege tanks and their 20+ ultras all melt.

Sometimes I don't say GG because I'm raging due to stupid mistakes or weird Allin shenanigans. If I got outplayed I'll say GG and move on.

I usually type 'gg' before I leave but I also press the keys to exit out of the game really fast too so I don't even see that it registered.

With that said though, sometimes if I am playing vs someone who I know I am much better than, but I lose to them...I won't type 'gg' but that's because I am upset with myself moreso than any form of badmanner towards the guy that just beat me.

An example is when I am beating a terran but he does a medivac drop on my base while my army is defending/killing his expos and I am totally controlling the map etc. etc. but then I decide to counter him rather than kill the harrassing units and my army is killed by his defenses and I feel like a retarded noob so I just leave and take a break for a bit by posting on these forums. (This just happened to me about 20 minutes ago)

I hate when:

1) People say GG and then rebuild their base in another starting location...

2) Offensive GGs. I love when people think they won and say gg? Then I rape their face with my hidden army and they leave.

It's just showing a bit of respect for their victory. Starcraft is a game of skill, if someone outplays you they deserve recognition. So when people don't say GG to me I feel like they're not acknowledging my victory, as if they think I got lucky or something rather than outplaying them. For the same reason I have never not GGed, even to the lamest cheeses.

I never gg and don't consider it BM.
Also, I don't get why people consider it rage quit. Alt-q-q without gg is like "OK, I've lost, let's not waste time anymore, enjoy your nice victory screen". I also hate these "hi where u from?" in the beginning of the game, did you join the game to play or chat? Go chat elsewhere. If there was an option to turn ingame chat off, I would definitely use it.

If there's something to discuss about how great the game was, it can be discussed after the game.
