I quit directly after saying GG. As for people who don't say GG, I don't really care. Coming from an FPS gaming background, someone not talking to me is ten times better than what I usually get. I'm fine with what people call Bad mannered in RTS games because it honestly isn't that bad mannered compared to other genres out there.

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?

25% seems a too high percentage..however time by time it occours also to me.
That send me angry

I've noticed that bm is way more prevalent in SC2 beta than it was in SC on iccup, especially at ~1400 platinum levels. Almost no one ggs, and when someone loses it's because your race is overpowered. I admit getting pissed really easily as well and only gg'ing like half the time... I guess it's just the beta atmosphere

i'm sick of the gg. I want to find something with a more fitting meaning. i've stoped saying it by default, except the times i say it by force of habit, until i can figure out something else to say. it may be QQ. but iuno i want something that fits

90% of the people under Gold are assclowns. They will GG and then hide proxy Pylons or float Barrackses places or Nydus somewhere and make me hunt them down. It's a pain in my ass. Most of the time they just leave. Personally, I try to always say gg when I know I've lost and after I do I leave.

it could also just be a tactic used to win....

ive had someone kill my expo, and i gg'd. then i moved in with my nice big force of air and wiped them out... not sure why you would ever stop your macro. if anything its good practice

I've played several games now where I will kill a player almost completely, but he will have started an expo somewhere or lifted his buildings off and begun mining elsewhere. I mean he has 0 units, probably close to 0 minerals, why no gg? Once I faceroll his base with my leftover forces he goes gg, but what was the purpose of trying that shit in the first place? lol?

I had no problem with BM before the stat reset to be honest (or maybe it was an invite wave close to the reset). People would always either initiate or respond to the GL HF antics, and say GG at the end. Ever since the reset I have had maybe 4 out of 100 people tell me to GL and HF and another 4 respond to my inevitable saying of GL HF^^;. Not really a big deal, just found it very interesting that in a matter of a week the server went from courteous to "leave me alone and play".
That being said, saying GG and keeping playing does happen on ICCUP too and is an asshole move =(

Most games I play in people don't say GG if i win, some of them don't even say a word throughout the game, so no GL HF or anything, kinda annoys me a bit that people just don't put GG or something, it only takes a second to do and its good sportsmanship, but ah well.

I'd like to remind people that this is a new game, and people shouldn't be expected to know they've lost, or not to play around with units more often. One time i had lost and knew i lost, but i wanted to keep playing around with the tech for a learning experience. The guy is like can't you just leave? I just kinda shook my head. There's more to this game than winning. Remember that.

Simple thing to do. GG when you lose then leave right after, never stop playing 100% unless they have left the game

I sometimes delay my "gg" to see if I can defend with Workers and my last units, just to micro a bit more. But after the gg falls I leave instantly. I think it's bad mannered if your enemy isn't leaving right after gg-ing.

Oh, and I zealotrushed a guy and broke his walloff.He just went:" FUCK YOU AND DIE!" and left... This was on EU-Server, where quote on quote: "all people are friendly and well mannered".

I dont say GG unless I meant it was a good game. When I am tired I'll just say "gg" (that doesnt mean ragequitting vs cheeses, just means that if I were too dumb to not check my main for double proxy gates or something I dont gg)

Ya always be suspicious if they do not leave shortly after a gg. Some people wait for the killer to say gg back but no matter if I am cheesed or lose a 1 hour marathon, when I say gg I insta leave.

No kidding... the kind of trash talk I've shrugged off in quake and mtg is wayyy on another level than anything I've encountered in a rts. Rts players are like nuns.

When the opponent gg's, I usually just start practicing micro on his remaining units and buildings. It doesn't allow them to make a comeback and it's a good warmup for the next game as well. The only time I met someone BM was some guy was was bitching about me rushing them. This Terran player didn't even bother scouting me, so I went 4 gate all in zeal against his tech, so apparently I'm cheesing.
