First off, I am new to SC and to any real competitive RTS play in general.
Is it normal for people to throw up the gg and keep playing? I have had it happen probably 25% of the time. They either say gg and then keep building units from some remote location. Or, calling gg and then sitting back and making me go around the map killing off all the buildings for their 3 expansions.
The first time it happened to me, I was playing PvT and he had just nuked 2 of my supply lines while I ran in and wiped out his base. He threw up the gg and started chatting with me. In the mean time he built like 3 rax and started pumping out tons of marines at an expansion I hadn't scouted. He ended up winning because I was busy chatting and didn't start mining again. Granted, I should have had better macro and started mining, but he called gg! wth?
Do you encounter this a lot too? And, what's your take on making your op kill off all your buildings for the end game?

Ya there are a lot of douchebags that do that, never stop macroing and scouting until they leave. At the lower levels, I see this happen a lot. I don't know if players are more mannered in gold and plat, but this happens to me probably 3 out of 5 games on the silver ladder. This is especially bad if I go for a baneling bust cause the terran walled improperly, cause its apparently "The unbeatable cheesiest nooby build ever"

I guess saying GG is a strategy now? I don't gg I just quit and start a new game. And it is really dumb when people say GG and wait a while to leave.
|
Some guy did something like that last night
He dropped the GG and made me hunt down his left over buildings. It wasn't that irritating because it was fun to watch him struggle to comeback.
Just remember to keep on killing until the player leaves the game...if they chat with you...just answer when you get the chance...you can be friendly on TL, but in games, you have no friends...
I get a lot of people just leaving with out saying GG....that kinda gets me
|
No, usually GG signals they have lost and are going to quit or actually lose very soon. I have encountered people who GG then expect me to kill their buildings (which I do), but in almost all situations they acknowledge it's impossible for them to come back and win if I keep playing.
It sounds like you fell victim to some very potent psychological warfare though, at least now it'll never happen again right?

Well it might work on people who have watched SC but not played it very much. Because if you watch tournaments, GG ends the games.

its a common strat in BW too,
http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=119162
ive had a few games where i GG then sit for a sec and atch my stuff die while i think over the game and the mistakes ive made, but i'd never make the guy hunt me down, its a waste of my time and his.
plus half the people in the beta dont even GG, its frustrating.

That's true, I have had them try it a time or two since, and it was definitely crushed back down. I would just rather have not needed to learn that lesson. Esp the hard way.

never happened to me in platinum
but i usually dont chat much anyways...hf at the beginning and gg at the end is the only thing i write most of the times...i rly hate people always asking "from?" and stuff like that :/

rofl that reminds me, I won a 2v2 yesterday and we just basically mass stalker/sentry rolled them.. At the end of the game, the guy said to us "You are lucky it is saturday".. and left the game..
we were like WTF does that mean? Then we matched vs his team again, and after we own him he goes "Saturday.." and leaves again..
Weirdest complaint ever.
|
I've made it a habit to keep playing even if someone tells me "gg" - just incase. While I haven't experienced it myself, I'm expecting to someday. Gaming ettiquette is very strange, and from what I've experienced generally quite good in Starcraft 2. I've even had a few good talks with people as they've destroyed my base on what went wrong and so forth.

In his religion he is allowed to play games on the sabbath, but not to try to win.

I've actually done that to someone before unintentionally. They had played a good early game and i thought i was going to lose but barley held of the attack. I gg'ed expecting reinforcements to be flooding in but then realized he hadn't macroed at all during the fight. I came back and edged out a win. I guess his play was more all-innish than i had assumed. Didn't mean to be a douchebag or try any "mental" games. It just happened.
Also there is a trend of people new to SC it seems that don't GG at all and it annoys me 
|
I never gg until I'm ready to leave. Sometimes I'll gg and wait for him to gg back and then leave but generally saying gg means you concede the game.
Offensive gg's, not gg'ing, and gg'ing but staying in the game to-try-to-be-annoying-as-Terran-by-floating-your-buildings-all-of-the-freaking-map-and-being-gay are all considered bm

Well, no. It didn't just happen. You surrendered, and then you attacked him. Even if you didn't plan it, you chose it.
Resignation should be built into the game, so that you can resign and then have a polite little chat, and keep playing around with the units a bit without affecting the game's recorded outcome.

Saying GG and continuing to play is *extremely* bad mannered. I don't think I've ever seen someone do it, but I'm in upper-platinum where the players generally prefer to just leave and start a new game.
It's OK in general, I think, to say GG and chat with your opponent for a little while about the game and strategies etc., assuming you stop all unit production / attacks / attempts to win the game. I'm fine with this, though I usually make sure I'm inside his base killing him while we're chatting (and then just leave an extractor alive or something if I have more to say).

On the U.S. servers, its considered bad manner to type anything other than 'You're fucking terrible at this game.'
In actuality, beta servers have been surprisingly manner in my experience so far. I have had top inject a little bm here and there to even out the universe. Nothing serious, just a "Eat a dick!" here and there.
