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. | ||

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 | ||

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...  | ||

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. | ||

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

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) | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
