I could care less if people don't say GG, I just wish I didn't have to waste 40 minutes dealing with terrans who float to the islands and then build 30 missile turrets and vikings to the point where I have to throw 200 food of mutalisks at them after mining half the map. | ||

I certainly wouldn't GG then try to comeback into the game. Perhaps a half-joking GG if I've just done something stupid, but even then I'd make it -immediately- clear I wasn't being serious (if it wasn't very clear already). Occasionally I will leave a game without GGing, particularly if it was a particularly stupid, self-inflicted loss. I don't exactly lose any sleep over it, as its far better imo than bitching and whining about it to my opponent. tl;dr - GGing then leaving immediately or very shortly afterward is good GGing then trying to win is VERY bad Not GGing is bad, but not exactly major | ||

It's funny how this is only seen as important in RTS and not in any other competitive genre like FPS. | ||

That's not even comparable, seeing as most of the time, both players know a check is not game-ending. The implication in offensive gg is that the game is over. A check in chess carries no such implication. | ||

I played some Korean 12 year old on iccup who "g"ed after I went 2gate against him... but then he apparently got annoyed at me that I didn't "g" back, ended up killing my poorly microed zealots and came back to beat me with mutas because I'm terrible. | ||

That's pretty funny! Did it make you 'gg' in return more often? | ||

Saying gg is nice, but not saying it should not be seen as a negative. I agree with this mostly, it's not that we should look down on the people that don't GG but we should look up to the people who do GG. They are better gamers, fostering a community with values. | ||

Now a lot of new people are coming into sc2 which is good, among those new people there are many who may be there still when sc2 is ten years old. But then again, there will also be a lot of people who can't behave and who take themselves way too serious, aka fucktards. Its not just gg its people getting literally pissed off in games and takes it out into the chat. I actually just played a TvZ on Steppes of War that was fairly even up until his first push failed, I countered wiped the workers and overlords off his natural with MM, then he managed to halt me with banelings, I got tanks and MMM and contained and pushed. All the while he was typing away in the chat random cursewords along with his life story about how sick he was of loosing to "noob terrans" and in very flavorful ways he described how badly I sucked and then he went into a true hissy fit and started writing in caps as if he was typing to blizzard asking them to omg nerf terran etc etc A type example of the kind of player we may have to get used to for awhile until people like him get fed up and go back to playing quake. Ofcourse, I took the high road and did not write a thing in response, wiped his expansions off the face of the planet, set up a contain around his main, built eight ghost academies and nuked his main. | ||

Then I suddenly thought I still got my expansion and that was an absurd amount of turrets and he has literally no army at his main.So I moved to my expansion rebuilt and won. It probably was bad mannered but its not like he stopped when I said GG. | ||

Clearly, the strategic issue that we absolute HAVE to address though for the sake of the metagame is the subtle art of gg timing! | ||

Haha! Nicely done. The best response to someone with bad manners is to humiliate them in-game in that manner. Finishing someone off with your workers might also be fun. | ||

Except in WoW, you have the option to mute shit like General and Trade chats where the 12-year-old downies are spamming Anal/Chuck Norris jokes or flexing their epeen. In SC2, you're forced to listen to the other moron rant incoherent shit that makes no sense (unless there's a magical option to turn off All chat in SC2 that no one has told me about). In case people have forgotten, "GG" is an abbreviation for "Good Game". If it wasn't a "Good Game", then you have every right not say it before bailing on a game you're about to lose. This not-saying-gg-at-the-end-of-a-game-is-BM is pure bullshit. If you really wanna see bad manners, go play CSS or MW2 for a day. Better yet, try spending 1 hour in a DotA/HoN game. As for losing because the other guy said GG and continued to play... well, it goes back to that saying "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." Etiquette is overrated in computer games. For the most part, it doesn't exist. The amount of assholes will always outnumber the amount of people with half a shred of decency, and it will stay that way until technology evolves to the point where you can punch your opponent in the face through your monitor. Then people will think twice before acting like a dick. | ||
