Example: You're playing ZvT, the game is clearly over but your Terran opponent is continuing to play anyway. You say GG. Was this BM? I'm of the opinion that it's very BM. You should always allow your opponent to decide when he's ready to concede defeat. Saying GG for him is just like rubbing the defeat in his face for your own sick pleasure Vote here Poll: Is the above described, BM? (Vote): Very BM (Vote): Yes, BM (Vote): Not BM at all | ||

I think the whole idea of "bad manner" is ridiculous, and getting mad because someone says GG before you do..I mean, seriously..grow up? :[ | ||

(Vote): Very BM (Vote): Yes, BM (Vote): Not BM at all I totally agree with you. I refuse to say GG even if they have one last building left and I'm about to destroy it. If people take great pleasure in saying GG first and I do end up losing, I usually let them know that because of that I'm going to hide a bunch of buildings and go afk for awhile. True that's a jackass move on my part, but it's so sickening how rude many people are, I just can't help but hope it's a small step to fixing the problem. EDIT: BTW it's not about caring about "GG" or getting angry, it's more about having good sportsmanship. It's one thing to say "GG" when the victory is clearly won, and leave it at that, but most people don't do that. They'll say GG long before the game is over, or if it is over, they'll add totally random and rude comments after until you leave. It's not that it's a big deal, it's just what entails a lot of the times is totally unnecessary on any level. | ||

What is BM is not leaving after you quite obviously cease to stand a chance | ||

The guy that did it to me was in op [cF] and he didn't just say gg, he said gg : D So I'm fairly confident he wasn't angry that I was "wasting his time" by not leaving. | ||

i think its bm when people stay even after they have absolutely no chance to win, its almost a slap in the face because they think i suck enough that they could still win... | ||

Well, I kinda agree with that too. It's bm both ways...there is absolutely no need to stay in a game when you've clearly lost. Still, I don't say 'gg' first if I'm winning but I can understand if some people get frustrated when they have 4 running bases and are killing their enemy's last... and the opponent STILL just sits there letting you take down every single building. So I think it depends on each game and can't really be generalized as bm or whatnot by default. | ||

Something like "thanks for the game" (tfg?). Typing "good game", when you lost a 5 minute game due to some cheesy strat is just plain wrong. apparantly the korean word "sugo" means exactly that. correct me if i'm wrong, but thats what i say :D | ||

i also think its sort of rude for the loser to not say "gg" and just leave the game. thats not too important though because it feels good to know that theyre so pissed they cant even say "gg". | ||

And i think growing up is learning to respect people even when you are 10000000 miles away and you do not risk anything, you just respect ppl coz u think it's right. And i could add that to the eyes of many, life can be considered as a game. | ||

 and personally I regard "gg" more as a "thanks for playing" than a "good game". | ||

i bet the people that voted very bm have done it many times against people who they thought were 'rude' and if the other player is wasting your time when it is very very clearly over, then it is not bm. of course people should also realize that by saying gg first, you are not going to get him to quit so ya it depends | ||

But seriously, is this so serious? I hate it, when people go on about the BM-shit, k he's a idiot, if he says GG too early, but who cares? It's not like in real life, where you have to spend time with them, it's just another out of thousand people, you only know a BN-nick of... | ||

So I unallied and immediately sent my first army to his base to kill him too. It basically was a 3v1... but really a 2v1 because I killed the first guys base pretty much. Took over an hour to play and I won. with all the shit talking and all, that was the single most crowning acheivement over BMers. | ||

I never blame people if they do that unintentionally, but it is kinda annoying. after somebody says "gg", I stop trying.. So it is pretty annoying if they keep playing and build up some hidden army, while I've stopped making units/expoing altogether. I guess it's not that bad if they didn't realize they weren't quite out yet, though. | ||
