The reason why im posting this is becouse Im currently in a game that looks like this:

[image loading]

[image loading]

Im pretty tired so I didnt wanna bother myself with Micro so instead of taking his army head on I took a nydus worm into his base and hoped he would return to try and save it. He didnt, but Ive done this a lot of times. I take some of my drones off so I can build some buildings so I dont lose instantly. Then he lifts his raxxes. Now Ive got around 30 lings patrolling my 2 extractors and a douchebag who wont GG left.

Ive been noticing that ppl are more Bad Mannered in SC2 than they were in BW. Myself I rage quite a lot but I always admit defeat and I dont call people anything racist or homophobic. Have you guys noticed this too?

If you don't have anything to kill the barracks, then... you didn't win. This isn't BM, he just doesn't want to lose points since you can't win. It sucks but that's what happens when you play a Terran.

SC2 is "the shit" right now, it's going to be filled to the brim with angsty teenagers for the first couple of months/years.
We make signature, then defense it.

I think it's mostly because SC and BW came before kids started playing online. They started out with games like WoW and CS 1.6 though. Now they're in your beta !

No but seriously, this kind of stuff just seems to grow larger and larger with every new major multiplayer game that comes out (Halo 3, MW2, L4D2 etc).
opt in they said... ;_;

Nothing BM about not leaving in a draw. You are doing the very same thing.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

It's rampant in US I think. A bunch of 7 year olds who are afraid of admitting defeat got into the beta over here.

But Im quite clearly the one who rightfully won the game, I took his army and everything except for his rax, he cant kill my stuff either so he didnt win it either if thats what youre saying.

He also said in Chat:

"Haha, I can sit here for hours you know!"

To me that Bm, not admitting defeat.

No one won. You didn't "rightfully" accomplish anything except a draw.

He's not any more defeated than you are. His barracks can't kill your lings and your lings can't kill his barracks.

About the only thing bad mannered about this is you going to the forums and accusing him of being BM.

That said, there is definitely an element, at least on the NA servers, who are either ignorant of RTS etiquette, or who are deliberately jerks/immature. I don't know if it's worse than SC, because I ran into a lot of jerks in SC, but it's worse than I ever experienced in WC3.
Don't let me say this, but you're no worse than me; it's crazy.

The point is that's NOT defeat since you literally cannot beat him.

If you can't kill him you have not clearly or rightfully won the game. You can argue about that as much as you want, if you can't kill him you can't kill him.

Why should he admit defeat if he is not defeated?

Hmm europe has a lot of bm people...
Most people I win against simply never say "gg" (even the computer is more polite) or simple flame me because my race is imba (I'm random by the way).
More rare but it still happens: the victor flame you cause you're a noob, I mean wtf?!

And in your case, well... it's very common indeed for the terran to do that shit, even if you got AA to kill him, he will fly away just to fuck with you... It's pretty sad to lose X minuts hunting down flying buildings just because of some kids that can't lose in their mind...

Edit: By the way you did not win that game. It's draw.

The reason why it seems people are BM is because in other games, the commonality of gg is not that high.

ICCup helped to establish this mantra/doctrine where you just say gg after you lost, so it's considered bad mannered if you lose. We're having people from C&C, WC3, and even RTSes like Counter-Strike and Halo. The merging of communities easily will make SC2 on of the more bad mannered.

Sadly.
