Pretty much what DusTerr said. If you really liked the game, please whisper him afterwards instead and say "thanks for the game" or something, much better than doing the offensive GG.

Might as well just say "gtfo". It's the same thing as offensive gg. Why do you feel the need to gg before he says it in the first place? There is 0 logic in your post.

Why not tell him you are having fun that game without saying GG? That's what I do and usually they will agree and become friendly.

Or, it could simply mean: "I think this game is about to end. I want to thank you for playing well this game, before you leave." Too often the opponent would gg and leave, or simply leave, way too fast for that.

Sadly, everyone assumes rudeness nowadays, whatever you do - and that has become part of the unofficial code for gg.


Or it could mean "I really like ice cream. My favorite flavor is vanilla strawberry." However, it doesn't mean that.

I always get mad when someone is destroying me and then says GG right before I do. It both feels like he's rubbing his win in my face, and also feels like he's deciding that I lost for me. I prefer to decide when I've lost, and I don't like when someone makes the decision for me. Not only is the opponent controlling the game, but he's even controlling your actions, by forcing you to say GG when he decides.

I understand that most of the time, people aren't being BM, and I try to stifle my anger and not do anything stupid. I've just listed the thoughts that come to mind when someone GG's "for me", but I often act as if they didn't do anything wrong, GG, and then leave.


I feel exactly like this when people do this to me.

If anyone ever gg's before I tap out, I just hide buildings all over the map and waste their time while I grab a snack.

It is usually meant as an offensive gg, it implies saying "haha you suck, I won" whether you mean it or not.

Offensive GG is by far the most BM thing you can ever do on ladder. Anything racist, sexist, offensive or any other kind of BM pales on comparison. If someone offensive GG's I do my best to make sure he has to try hard to find and kill the rest of my buildings, (hard as zerg). Even if I was just about to gg. It's such a vile trait.

This is going to turn into the same discussion as the first thread. The real question is who cares?

try to offensive GG idra O_o

serious: everyone has the right to decide wether or not he think its time to leave, dont rush them.
I for myself get a big motivation-spike to turn it around and win against the offensiveGG-player, and if thats not going to happen i enjoy to play "hide the farm" - sadly i dont play Terran ^^

Most of the time people aren't trying to rude, they just want to end the game and get on with the next one.

Don't take it personally or get emotional about it, because if they are trying to be rude you're giving him the reaction he wants.

Your opponent hasn't given up and you're telling him the game is over

I remember getting offensive gg'ed. I really thought he gave up, so I gg'ed back. I thought it was still a really close game. 5 minutes later he realized I had a base he didn't see and that it was still close and he was like "sorry."

I think a lot of offensive gg'ers are well intentioned. It's just annoying having someone else call the game for you before you've given up, so simply don't offensive gg

Offensive GGing is weird it makes my buildings float to every corner of the map while I grab a snack. Happens every time.

In CS I used to get pissed off when my clan leader would respond to a 'GG' prior to the 24th or 30th round.

It's been that way for a very, very long time. If you think it was a good game, say 'man what a barn burner' or 'wow I can't believe how tense that was,' or hell I don't know 'good game man' just don't use the shorthand for concession.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

What kind of logic are you using to feel that you need to talk to someone about the game when you are winning? Think of it this way; If you were on the losing side would you be saying how fun of a game it was? Would you want them to be saying how much fun the game was? The answer 99% of the time will be no. Stop using hypocrite logic please. Thank you.

We don't need a thread on this. Saying gg first is the same as saying "You lose" which is 100% bad manner.
