That's extremely bad manners in my book. It's basically saying "I won, and I say you leave. Now.". Very rude, and one of the main reasons I hate playing WC3 on battle.net; about 85% of the WC3 people do that shit.

Thats really good actually. Its good to say GG, but when you REALLY mean its a good game, you can add the "wp" (which stands for Well played in case someone doesn't know).

When I lose I usually exit so fast I don't even catch the other ppl saying "gg". I don't really care if they say gg or not. That's the thing that happens with most of the people I play and win against. They lose and don't even bother to see if I say gg aswell.

I do have moments when I'm really pissed for some random reason and leave without saying gg, but I do say gg most of the time.

I personally always say "gg" regardless of how the game. If I have anything specific to add, I do so before I say "gg".

While I perfer when people gg back, I am not that bothered if they do not. Personally, I am far more unnerved by people who leave before you when you lose since then the match counts as a win for you. Then the statistic serves to mock you, since you realise that not all of the wins you have are actually wins (which is a lame feeling, particularly when you do not have a lot of wins to begin with). -.-

I always gg also.
But sometimes people will type gg and then not leave, so it can be dangerous to reply 'gg' and relax heh.
Also when I am surrendering I 'gg alt-qq' so I leave right away. Unfortunatly it has become habit so one time I beat this Terran on Blue Storm and after he typed gg and typed gg alt-qq back and took the loss :D.

I usually gg then leave so i never get to see a response... if they say it yea ill say it back just so they can leave lol. And if they don't say it then ill assume i super raped them and they couldnt handle it


lol so im not the only one who tries to quit as fast as possible after saying gg =p

So why are you asking about this when you leave the instant you GG?

I don't type GG when i think it wasn't a good game. I mean, when they turtle with terran, or 5 pools with zerg, or get luker/sunken/spore defense all over their bases i wont type gg back if i win. Yes, i know its part of the game but it just annoys me. Bm or not i'll do this forever.

I almost never say gg, everytime I lose it's because of luck

I'll say gg if I know I was outplayed and it was an actual good game (good game means good game after all...)

I tend to say gg mostly in a bad manner context vs war3 players I know are douches

I always gg when I lose. Even being 4 pooled.

But when someone offensive gg me, I float all my building and go read a book.

I don't really have problem with offensive CC and others in-game bm, I think it's just funny. But the gg is basic politness.

it's Bm to whine at BM imo, if your such a nice person just gg all the time whatever happens to them. Do you offer old ladies help so they write stuff for you in their will?
