![[image loading]](http://zipmeme.com/uploads/generated/g1329856999914710190.jpg) Being respectful isn't about feeling good--it's about doing the right thing no matter how you feel. It's called being civil. It's called not being selfish. | ||

I don't care about glhf / gg (although I prefer to say glhf in hopes that my opponent will be less bm at the end of the game). But actual bm / insults? Usually at the end of the game? yeah that needs to go plz. every freaking person on ladder does it and it makes laddering such a chore. also makes the sc2 community look like a bunch of immature idra wanna-be's. | ||

Its just something you plainly say because you should. Certainly doesn't affect your play by any means. | ||

It's unreasonable to say this is a bad person, it just means he wasn't nice. Opinions are not binary, you can be neutral- not black and white dude. If that's the scenario, then your analogy is simply not a good one. Since when is someone in a rush to leave a game? Also, you did say the person waited 3 minutes for a reply lol... Typing "GG" takes 2 seconds. A better comparison would be how in soccer games, it's customary for both teams at the end, to shake the hands of all the players on the team. It's seen as extremely bad manner if you purposely don't shake someone's hand and all that. I'm not saying that not saying "GG" is extremely bad manner, but it is a little rude. | ||

I never rage. I have litteraly never insulted my opponent or raged at him after a game. And yet people who have tell me that I am BM. Go fornicate yourselves, you hypocrites. | ||

What i want to say: There is no ultimate rule or reason behind the Mannerism in StarCraft. On a high level, its obligatory to be good mannered, because your opponent deserves the respect. But i will not handshake and "gg" my buddy, who is ten times worse than me @ soccer, because of his lucky penalty shot.  | ||

If there are hard feelings, expressing them is rude, its a game that you both play to win. It's called being a good sportsman. | ||

however, when it comes to tournament setting, i think that changes a bit, in a same way any sports will start with a hank shake and whatnot. even boxing where they beat each other up, as long as they dont have personal beef, they end up congratulating each other. tournament setting is professional unlike laddering. gg would mean good game in ladder setting, gg in tournament setting, firstly means "you win". | ||

An illogical assumption would be that this person is rude or hates the person saying hello." How is that illogical? If someone says "hello" to you, you say "hello" back. Not saying anything DOES make you a rude person. This is pretty much exactly what I was going to say. OP is probably terribly socially inept and unaware of it. Basic courtesies are a part of human interaction, online games included. Get used to it. | ||

Your argument about chatting is ridiculous. too many variables and situations. what if they are in a rush? what if they just ignore you because they don't like you? what about the busy mode button? what if they went to the bathroom? As a psychology major, I can say that this slight discomfort people feel who take the game a bit more seriously is justified. When you enter the game, you want to be treated as an equal, it is a human right. Not saying gg, not shaking a hand, is like telling them they are not worth it and are beneath you. People can get away with in in starcraft because it is a game. But in real life, if you are like that, you will get walked over by everyone. Also from a logical perspective, why would anyone get angry at not receiving a gg? I have rarely seen anyone get truly angry at a lack of gg, even at the highest level of play. When someone does not gg, it is most likely due to rage. rage shows you that you have successfully defeated your opponent and that they are too immature to accept it. Players then rationalize that they wouldn't be that childish and stupid from the game. Then a feeling of superiority comes in, even if the players themselves rage. | ||

It doesn't have anything to do with the game being "good" or not, it's social, and good etiquette. I say glhf at the beginning of the game to say hi, and be friendly. I gg to say "goodbye" in a sense. It makes the game so much more enjoyable to me when there are good manners. I have had people message me after a game to compliment some aspect of my play, and that makes me feel 10x better about the game. I try to reciprocate that. glhf and gg are good yo. | ||

Selfish does not mean being malicious. It means one doesn't care what the other person thinks or feels. You know, some people call it being neutral. When you don't really care either or. In other words, only thinking of yourself instead of others. | ||
