EPTI would dare say that 99% of the people in here who are arguing that not saying gg is not bad mannered would also say that refusing to shake hands after a chess match is terribly bad mannered. You can try to prove me wrong on this. But a simple 'gg' is just....not the same, if you will.

Can you explain why ANYONE would say 'gg' in a situation where the game isn't actually good?? What percentage of games anybody plays are actually good. I'm sure a huge portion of games are one sided either way, and yet still people say 'gg' . Why do they do it? Obviously, because it's good manners to do so. Why do you shake someone's hand after a chess match? Because it's good manners to do so. What if the guy you played just embarassed you horribly, you'd still shake hands. If you don't it is considered extremely rude. If you eat a meal at someone's house and don't express some kind of gratitude, it's considered rude. Even if the meal wasn't great, you still do it. Saying 'gg' at the end of games is exactly the same. If you spend any amount of time on this game and value your reputation at all, then it's logical to assume that all three of the activities I've stated are the same. | ||

A much easier way of ridding this "trouble" would be just to type gg at the end of each game. It's not that hard. If you don't say gg after a match in a Korean league, you are punished severely. It should be the same in TSL, especially considering it's one of the official rules. | ||

I think you have a certain class that is lacking in alot of today's youth- not to mention gamers. Genuine honesty is hard to find and such a thing is appreciated by all of us. Don't mind the neighsayers. | ||

Do you ever lose when you're not "playing really badly?" I guess that Mondragon, playing his "ass off," can only win when you're playing badly. I don't think any foreigner has ever been able to just say that they lost without any superfluous information. I've lost a lot of respect for Nony. He makes similar comments every time he loses. Like you said, these comments detract from the (good) play of the opponent, and tries to suggest that he would've won if he played remotely well. Even if that is the case, so what, it didn't happen. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thats the type of person he is. Egotistical, self-centred, and probably a bad loser. Thats not to say he's a bad person. Just the above. | ||

Being proud and self-centered like he is, it makes sense that he wouldn't gg, especially knowing the chat isn't broadcast. | ||

I guess it's fine that he doesn't wanna say gg after games. It's strange, it bothers me a lot that a player so dominant like him would not bother to press 4 keys, two of which are the same...Certainly it was in the rules to say so... (I cannot believe TSL staffs added this rule :D)... If this were in korea, he would be fined I'm sure... (just like how july got fined 500 dollars for coming late... and also chalrenge for saying fuck on chat that everyone could see..) but anyway, now the whole bw scene knows nony as the guy who doesn't type gg at the end :D maybe he loves the attention, maybe he's just a sore loser. o_Oa | ||

Some would actually go as far as saying that not saying gg can be interpreted as the sentence you quoted. There are tons of "mannered" nonkoreans who make excuses nearly every loss they get, claims to never practice etc both in present time and in the past. Its not a phenomenon, and I dont find it bad mannered, but a perhaps a sign of lack of confidence. Personally I dont care. These are the two reactions most common if someone doesnt say gg 1.) You might be offended by not "getting respect" like in Dracos case. In this case the winner will most likely turn down a rematch-request from the loser because he feels the loser doesnt respect him. 2.) You get amused because you know your opponent is madly pissed off and probably slamming his keyboard or something like that. In this case the winner will probably accept a rematch-request, but turn it down at first, both to see the reaction from the loser to get some more amusement, but also to get a psychological adventage in the rematch(you want to have your opponent boiling over with anger as the rematch starts, and get him in the "I have to win now" "Fuck if I lose another time vs this newb" mindset) I would pick option 2, but in this case I would also understand the loser not only due to the stakes(much $), but also how he got 0-3ed by someone who doesnt practice at all but yet somehow has superior mechanics. Obviously the rematch issue in 1.) and 2.) doesnt apply in a Bo5 in a tournament as in this case. | ||

"gg" strictly means "good game" and if I play a bad game I wouldn't say gg. I would say stuff like fdasfeakfjdlsa; or Bah! or Oh well | ||
