k so I'm a noob, but noone ever types gg back when i lose on iccup.

it's not a big deal, but i just found it weird. is it supposed to mean that it wasnt a good game? =/

of course when i win, people usually just leave...

iono, it bothers me.

Say gg back, simple as that. People who leave without saying gg needs to get over themselves.

Many people consider it standard BW etiquette to gg after someone ggs.
Some don't.
Some are douchebags.

You'll meet all 3 kinds on ICCup. Just don't take offense if someone doesn't gg. It's only going to hurt you as a person and as a player to get angry over something like that.

Saying GG before you leave and after somebody else says gg when they give up is good manners. But seriously it's not that big of a deal either way. I just say GG after other people say it so they leave.

The second after I type gg I altq+q and don't wait for a response. I also always type gg after they do. Then you get the times where instead of gg they type something else in submission such as, "FUCK ME FUCK THE WORLD I HATE EVERYTHING" and how you handle that is up to you.

I don't mind of people don't gg after I gg, or they just leave and not say anything.

The thing I do fucking hate is when someone ggs first, and then you gg...and they stay in the game for another 5 min. Fucking leave, dont waste both our time.

Not obliged to, but it's basically etiquette.

actaully most of the players already left when you read the GG, so there's no point in GGing back, nobody cares, nobody sees it

what does kespa say to that?
typing gg means acceptance of loss, not accepting your loss gets you an official warning, maybe resulting in a ban.
typing gg after your opponent types gg means both players accept their loss, therefor both lose, none wins, the game ends in a draw (and both players receive a warning, maybe resulting in a ban).

naw jk, for many ppl gg just means "gratulations, you outplayed me." in these days.

When I started playing iccup, I would always gg every game. But recently, whenever I would have a bad game. I would just quit early and not say gg. I don't like to gg when I lose because I made a mistake instead of having my opponent beat me.
