No GG is fine. Infact since people bitch so much about it i leave a ton of games now without saying gg. Who gives a shit. No one said GG way back when...its only a modern thing and its pretty lame. | ||

GG is about as old as RTS's are, or at least as old as Starcraft (I didn't play WC2 or Dune online so I can't really tell you about that). I don't know of a single RTS with a ladder and a competitive community where people don't wish each other luck and say "GG." No one can force you to say it and frankly I don't think it makes you a terrible person, but it's just not very polite. | ||

I don't really mind when people don't say gg... I'm kinda tired of saying shit that I don't mean just to keep other people unoffended, actually. The formality of it reminds me of the korean BW scene's strict rules that most of us call unnecessary or no fun. | ||

Instead of admitted defeat after trying to 1-base Voidray/Carrier me (lol) he starts building nexuses all over the map, which I nail with comsat. Even after I get him down to just an asimilator, he's still talking trash. So I decide to let him sweat a little. I do all I can to keep myself entertained. I build supply depots around his last building, I expand to every spot on the map, I go and pick off destructable rocks, but the guy doesn't leave. Not only does he not leave, but he's still in the game and responding to my chat. Finally I get fed up with it and 6x nuke him. He remained BM till the end. Replay available if you'd like. | ||

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 anything I applaud him for getting some revenge on you for playing cheesey and gay. Play a real build and you wont have this problem. | ||

A standing army is > buildings. The op has a standing army, even if his town was wiped out in the process. The Terran however has zero army. If this were a ZvZ, or ZvP then the player with the remaining standing army would of won without question as they cannot "float" their buildings away. The only reason the Terran player is even in the game is because he chose to exploit an ability of terran and use to to quite frankly be an asshole. Without that ability, the OP clearly won the match. In a tournament this would be a draw yes, because they are on a timeframe. However I am sorry but the T player in this instance is clearly being the spoil sport as he is the one who has clearly lost. Once again, the Z player has an army that is more then capable of killing those buildings if they lacked the ability to float. The terran player has zero capability to do anything except act like a douchebag. I do agree with the statement that this is beta and ladder points don't matter. I am merely pointing out the above simple truth of the matter. I really don't like the destroy all structures is an auto win mechanic myself. I have played far too many RTS over the years where both players attacked a home base at the same moment and wiped each others home base entirely out. Then the fight boiled down to a final clash between the two armies and who handled their units better. I sincerely believe that Terran buildings should be forced to land at a certain point. | ||

QFT "gg" has become a totally empty phrase. It no longer means "that was a good game; I enjoyed it." It means "I'm clicking surrender in 321..." And for some reason people rage over someone not typing gg! Be happy: you won! | ||

Meh, I agree it is a waste of time but this is no more BM than you making a thread about it. You certainly wouldn't want people to make threads about you when you have a bad day and do something BM would you? As for the actual thread question: No more and no less. It's just the nature of the internet. | ||

My scouting SCV is always called Frank. When Frank dies I'll usually put up a massive "NOOOOOOO NOT FRANK" gotten some pretty awesome replies from some people after explaining who Frank was  . The loss of APM for the 2 seconds spent typing is well worth the replies I get  Edit: BTW that's a draw. Been in the exact same situation a few times, usually I'll just leave because losing 15-20 points that I can get back in the next match is better than sitting around for 3 hours waiting for the other guy to get bored. | ||

Honestly I dont mind people leaving at the end of the game without typing gg but when they have to say something 'smart' its just annoying.... makes me feel as if there is too many children in the game. *edit* Also [I'm only going off the first page] I'm noticing bm ppl seem to exist more in the states..... damn gamestop.... | ||

The game's win condition is not to kill all units, its to kill all buildings. This is a strat game people, if you plan to all in attack and base trade a terran and have no aa then you are basicly shooting for a draw. | ||

There has been many times where players have just left the game without saying "gg" but that to me doesn't count as bad manners. The only guy that I've encountered and would label as "BM" was on a friday night and he was clearly drunk, I started the game with my normal "Hi, gl hf" and he responded "fu" and throughout the game he was saying some scrambled insults. The joys of alcohol :D | ||

Unfortunately for you, you're completely wrong. Buildings > standing army The point of the game is to eliminate all of your opponent's buildings. Not units. I can argue that the Terran player is not being a spoil sport or douche, but rather he showed great use of strategy and Terran ability to float by disabling the Zerg's production facilities so that the Zerg can't kill all of his buildings. In a tournament it would be a draw not because of a timeframe, but rather because it's clear that no one can win. In most cases, a draw is simply remedied by a rematch on the same map. In the Korean BW proleague, a draw can even be considered when both players still have units and an army, but neither player has the resources or ability to destroy the other; as such neither player is willing to attack the other. These situations have occurred before and it is very important to note that Starcraft revolves around buildings. If you don't like the "destroy all structures" mechanic of Starcraft then this is the wrong game for you. Eliminating all of your opponents buildings has always been the key goal of Starcraft and it has led to many great and exciting games which revolve around an elimination race. | ||
