I always say gg. I even say GG if someone insults me and then they win. I've always felt it was a social construct to acknowledge the other player's effort regardless of the quality of the match. If I want to emphasize how good a game it was I'll say gg and comment or say GG and leave. I'm actually surprised by how many people do not use it and/or view it as an appraisal of the match.

I write GG if the game was good.
I hate when people write gg before me, then I usually dont leave (in fact if I dont leave it's because I believe I can win - and sometimes it happens lol).

I just type gg when I'm about to leave, doesn't have to be a good game, it's just part of my leaving routine. If I don't gg it's because I accidentally alt+q+q before the second enter.

I know most people don't use gg like that but I don't care. I don't really care if they quit without gg either.
No I'm never serious.

rofl people actually say gg because they thought it was a good game? that's not how it works. it's just a routine that has been accepted as the standard behavior. i almost always do it unless my opponent bms me or i get four pooled. it's no a big deal.

i don't care if my opponent doesn't gg (without me bming him or 4 pooling) but i do consider it bm.

Yo man, Lebron James doesn't shake hands when he loses, why should we GG when we get beaten up? It just don't make no sense!

Re-read what I said... I won the game, but I left first because I have a habit of leaving the game after saying GG.


hehehe, thanks for the laugh!


And to the person saying that they gg even if the other guy was being bm, I too make a point out of gg'ing if my opponent behaves like a douchebag. Feels as a moral victory, to me at least! :D

Where's the "if it was a crappy game why would you GG"

seriously, GG stands for good game. i've played games where I fucked myself over on my own, or just played flat out horribly. maybe say "well played" or something, but it isn't exactly a good game. One that comes to mind is when I played Terran and was opening mech TvZ on medusa, and it looked like nothing could fit between the top of my depot and the water @ 11 o clock position and he just ran right in and killed me. completely my fault for not knowing this, but it sure wasn't a good game. if you want to be 'manner' and say it 100% it's up to you, but if you expect one 100% I think that's pretty lame.

I don't know how there is so much debate. Leaving without saying gg is the same as walking off the field or court or whatever without shaking someones hand, clear sign of disrespect. I don't get offended or anything but just like anything else I probably make a make a mental note of it.

I GG all the type except when I am Zerg and the following happens:
1)Bunker Rush, I simply rage quit here
2)8rax into vult runby into wraiths, I alt tab here and wait till I am eliminated.

I love it when they don't gg, makes me feel like I raped them and they were really trying to win so they raged.

I say gg 95% of the time. It's not soo much as a compliment to him, but seems to calm me down more after a loss. There is a moment right before I lose, that I start to rage inside, and typing gg and exiting the game usually subsides that small bit of rage, and allows me to move on. It's that tiny little "gg" at the end that stops me from rage quitting and going all spousal abuse on my GF LOL.

I was hoping with the release of SC2 this silly habit would go away, but it seems to have not


"GG" is like an official surrender, so I dont think it is a silly habit, cause it lets you know when you won. Also it makes korean SC commentating better when they yell "GG"[/QUOTE]

Yes, but if I play some random game against friends / at C- level on iccup, is an "official surrender" really called for? I might take things more seriously if I were better at the game, but I'm just messing around. Certainly if I were ever in some kind of tournament official match I'd do it - but there's a Surrender option in the in-game menu, and for a player like me that's plenty "official" enough most of the time.

What bothers me the most is when people think they're so awesome, they GG before you when they think they're winning. That's way more bm than leaving without GG

i say "gg", unless the game was completely sucky.. losing to proxy, bansheerush, my own idiocy.. then i simply quit without saying anything and head off for a break since its hard for me to enjoy staying on computer after such a shitty game. I dont rage or anything, i just feel like i should do something else.. However there are some actually good games every now and then, when i bother to write "GG ".

I do feel opponent is a little bad mannered if he doesnt write anything after a decent game, it feels like i have left him frustrated with something. I feel the best if opponent comments the game after he has lost, like "haha that was some great base razing, GG "
I dont want to be totally out :3

I gg only vs my clanmates. In random pubs I don't say hi, gl, hf, gg, or anything for that matter.
The only words that come out of me are "gogo".
Don't care at all if the opponent does or doesn't gg himself. I just hope he wont trash talk at the end.

I completely don't care about being "gm" or having good etiquette.

I am a strong believer in manners and leaving without a gg or saying anything that would resemble whine or anger is unthinkable to me. There is no "cheap play", use anything to win.

But I would not message someone who leaves without a gg or bm me, it's just not worth the drama, it's not like I will succeed in converting them to good manners or something. I just make a smiley and wait for them to leave.

The problem with my philosophy is that I can respect someone who even tries to use psychology to gain an advantage through typing whatever, weird stuff, friendly stuff, questions and or/bm. It's hard for me to explain but the win is actually more important to me than manners even though I value it very highly. (and I say to "me" but I mean to say winning for anyone, a person that uses whatever means to win).

BUT, that is when the game are underway or when a set is underway. When the game or the set is done and a winner is set if you are still behaving like a child through excuses or bad mannered talk then I will have nothing to do with you, use anything and everything to win but respect the winner AND the looser that fought (be it you or your opponent).

EDIT:
A big point of this is that when you are doing everything in your power to win this is respectful both to yourself and also to your opponent. He has to be able to overcome everything you throw at him and if he does this then he should be worthy of your respect -> usually by the show of manners. Also if you proove too strong he should acknowledge your power -> usually by the show of manners.

I get really disheartened by seeing all the replies in this thread that say "Don't be so serious" because if it's one thing that should be taken seriously it is the concious drive to improve your game and win no matter what, to me it's comparable to any similar activity as the pursuit to become a great artist, musician, athlete, chess player, CEO, etcetera and should be respected as such.
