Yeah after saying GG is really bad normally people just say GG then leave the game. But I guess it only happens in low levels as in Silver+ I havn't really seen it.

This is something that puzzles me about the US servers. People will say "GG" after I've won a decisive battle and inflicted heavy damage to them, and then keep playing! Call me crazy, but I always took GG to mean that you were conceding and about to leave the game. Calling GG and then still trying to win defeats the whole point of saying GG, in my opinion.

Surprised I read this far into the thread, but I agree with the above.

Maybe once the divisions become more solidified a few months after release and you start seeing the same names more often, gg's at the end of games will become more the norm but for now whilst turnover is high I really don't see it as a problem in any way.

gg and not leaving can be annoying the first couple of times it happens but it's quite easily dealt with, just takes an extra 5 mins.

maybe you are taking it the wrong way. maybe they are having a good time playing against you so they want to keep the last epic battle up or something? I've typed GG then kept playing for a minute or two, then I would type gg again before I actually leave.

at least they aren't saying "isnt this funny, you won without doing a single thing"

perhaps you should take your opponents more literally; they are saying it's a good game. why would you want to leave so quick after you are announcing its a good game?

I'm more concerned about the number of people following Idra's lead of not gging at all. It is common ettiquette to say it. You don't have to say gg, but I like it when people do.



And martT. You will rarely ever see the same people again on SC unless you friend them. SC is a big game. Lots of people.

Hell yeah,

So many twits do this, this has led to me not saying anything ingame anymore.

I dont bother talking to players anymore during a game, if the guy wants to chit chat, well he can contact me after the game.

Too many of these chit chat twits to bother anymore with saying gg whether it be the start or end of the game.

3/5 is about the ratio ye, 60% of players are acting retarded, this again only goes to prove that Blizzard did not give beta keys to real starcraft players, but mostly to complaining gays of world of warcraft, seriously world of warcraft created a whole new TYPE of GAMER, the type that complaints alot, the type who want easy gear (easy wins), those who act like real twits online, instead of respecting themselves firstly and then others, if these retards had even the slightest bit of self respect they would just leave the game when it is obvious you have lost.

So in the end i blame blizzard for giving too many beta keys to wow playing crying baby noobs, because wow was the first game to force a battle.net account and secondly the whole WOW genre has turned out to be a bunch of whiney bitches, men that act and behave like women, this is what bitches are.

O well thats my rant on the subject

Chatting away is something which should be reserved to the lobby, but idiots should not stop you from saying GG when you lost or in response to others behaving well. Others being idiots is always a bad excuse for becoming an idiot yourself.

Maybe Blizzard adds a "concede button" where you automatically add "GG" to chat and leave the match. That would be a start to show everyone how it should be done and only then people start at the same "politeness level". Many low level players are just in it for fun and dont know this etiquette; I didnt until I watched some streams and VODs when the beta came out.
If you cant say what you're meaning, you can never mean what you're saying.

Wow, that sucks.

What I find worse, though, is when people say GG while on offense, or right before they attack you base. Granted, they usually win, but it is a very jerkish move IMO.

Really winds me up when people do that, quite arrogant. Do love it when they think they have won, do GG then destroy my base and say, when have you not lost? (Then see my other 2 bases massing troops )

I feel like a douche, I just won a game and GG knowing I had won before he had a chance, I was attacking his 2nd expansion when he flooded my main expansion with stalkers and immortals, instead of coming back to defend I hit his main expo and base and it was a race to kill all of his buildings before he did that to me, in the end I had a single drone and collected about 350 minerals before he killed my last building and made another expansion, this was just 3 seconds before he killed my last main and 1 second after he killed it I killed his last building! it was soooo close.

Still, it was very douche from me saying GG like that =/

i really think part of this is because of the AI, it says gg and just waits for you to eliminate it. sets a bad example!

If we're going to talk about gg "strategy" why not talk about gl hf?

That comment clearly spawned from a "fuck you I'm better than you are and I'm saying this to try to rattle you" technique, and it eventually became common.

Yeah not much gets me more upset in any game than my opponent gg'ing me offensively. It's sooo bad manner, cocky and disrespectful.

Anyway, aren't you supposed to gg then leave?

It makes sense to give so many keys to wow players because most people who buy sc2 will not be bw players. Be serious, the whiney bitch was around long before wow, I know I've encountered them in every type of game, there was just never that many gamers playing the same game at the same time. Of course when you get a game that's had probably 11+ million players over the course of it's life, there are going to be a lot of whiney bitches

I have had my esc and f10 key both stop working for some reason in games. So I can't leave the game after saying gg lol. I'm pretty sure thats just my keyboard however and not a bug. So i dont know if thats happened to anyone else.
