I simply think a match is good and I say gg when I is 100% (as in I have five bases and my opponent has no mining and I just defeated his army) How is saying good game constitute as bad manners... If I say it then lose well i look like an idiot but if it really was gg I just don't get it(and I've never said it and lost, this isn't about saying gg prematurely but when the game is over for sure) | ||

its better for them to admit defeat before you tell them that they have lost. However close a game may be to over it is never over until your opponent leaves the game. | ||

If it's a sincere GG, you might want to clarify it by actually saying something along the lines of, "GG, bro. Had fun." | ||

When you are winning and gg first, you are actually sending the message "GTFO" | ||

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. | ||

That can be taken as insulting Best not talk and just win and wait for him to concede. | ||

Post in the simple questions simple answers thread. this and also, the only time it would be warranted is if you're opponent is intentionally stalling out the game, in which case you'd be better off asking politely first. | ||

"gg" is like saying "good day" when making a formal exit. It would be rude to tell someone "bye" before they were ready to leave (as if rushing a guest out the door). If you want to let your opponent know you thought it was actually a good game, say so (you're up 5 bases to 0 mining and just beat his army, you can afford to actually type "good game"). | ||

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

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. | ||

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. | ||

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=206962 This is going to turn into the same discussion as the first thread. The real question is who cares? On June 20 2011 09:19 ComusLoM wrote: 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. Lol you just won the thread. | ||

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 ^^ | ||

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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||
