- instances where it wont = worker stack, i wasn't feeling well and couldnt play my best, my mouse jams (i had a ball mouse) and i misclick my army into death, i get some popup in the middle of a game which screws me over, etc - when i dont gg for some reason or another(as described above) and leave, then after the game they say 'gg' it pisses me off, because i feel inclined to say it back, even though it wasen't a good game - i will always say gg back if they do, even if i won because they were in one of my 'didnt gg because some reason or another' circumstances, unless they say gg then leave without giving me time to gg back, because it give me the impression they are embarassed and didnt want to see me 'gg' back. | ||

I don't play with strangers much, but when i do, i've never been BMed.(to the best of my memory) saying "Gg" is just simply sportsmanship, like when winners take the 2nd place guys hand and throws it up in the air. | ||

Taken an unwritten rule as given, and referring to it as nature, is not a good way to convince anyone of anything. Again, you are making a mistake several people have made when you assume the reason why you don't say 'gg' is because it wasn't a good game.... wtf I wish everyone would stop thinking that! You are comparing a team sport (probably in a somewhat high level competition) to a low level game for fun or D/C on iccup.... they don't compare. You feel offended because of your assumptions... not because they are bm. It's rude make someone else do something meaningless in order for you to feel happy, and then complain when they don't comply. I agree with you about the last thing. There are 10001 ways to be rude during/after a game. My amateur level tennisgames back in 2000, we shaked hands after the game... So I would compare... Ppl like u, who know that some ppl get upset when opponent dosent say 'GG', yet u dont do it... I would say u r potential a-hole... | ||

It is no different than any other random gesture that has no overlying purpose such as shaking hands. You can think its pointless and refuse to ever shake someones hand, but some people are still gonna think negatively of it. Comes down to what is more important to you, refusing to do something you find pointless or being 'polite' Personally I don't enjoy being ignored when I ask for a re because I didnt type 2 letters. But its your call. | ||

 ). I don't really care if my opponent doesn't type gg. In that position, I'm more focused on the fact that I won . Also, when I type out gg, I don't wait for him to do the same. I just leave. If I were the winner, I wouldn't want him to hang around after he had said gg | ||

This is a side-topic, but I'm curious, what are the etiquette standards in other games? I used to play a multiplayer tetris game called Tetrinet a lot. There'd be a 1 second delay between dropping pieces so each game would last about... I dunno say 2-3 minutes. At the end of every game, it was customary to say gg, even though the same group of people (up to 6) will be sticking around and playing more games, which would start pretty much immediately. Most of the time people wouldn't say anything before leaving the server though when they were done playing. Then they released an updated version called Tetrifast that removed the piece delay, so you could go somewhere around 3x the speed of the original game, and average game times dropped to like 30 seconds or something. Games would still start almost immediately after. In Tetrifast I stopped saying gg after every game (as did maybe 2/3rds of the other players), since everyone saying gg every 31 seconds gets pretty annoying. The tetrifast community also was smaller, since all the noobs would basically get instantly thrashed (imagine someone starting out in SC, learning what the units are, and going straight to ICCUP). So everyone kind of knew of all the other players, although it wasn't very chatty typically. So what I did there instead was not to say "gg" after every game, but say "good games" or something before leaving the server (and stick around a bit to give others a chance to return the favour). Not everyone would say anything would leaving though. So I'm not really sure what theories to draw from this. There's no clear relationship between saying "gg" more and community size or whether or not you're leaving. How does it work in other game communities? | ||

There's no clear relationship between saying "gg" more and community size or whether or not you're leaving. How does it work in other game communities? I play Guild Wars GvG competitively, where there's on average maybe 200-300 or so active guilds with 8 players on a team (though lately the community has been getting smaller and smaller) and usually you'll get 3-5 people out of 8 on each team saying gg after games. There's a lot more trash talking between guilds that don't like each other though after games too, and it's not uncommon to have no one on the losing team say gg after they lose, usually because they're probably busy arguing with each other about what went wrong on ventrilo. In the tournament playoffs at the end of each month you get more people gging each other though, since it's a higher standard of playing then. It's never really considered bm in that game to not say gg though, but a lot of people still do out of habit or just to be good mannered. | ||
