Anyway, time for my two cents - I don't see the need for gging in a ladder game. Personally, I never gg unless it is a person I know or some kind of official event. I also don't get upset if my opponent does not gg when he loses. Nobody is going to thank you for gging and - most often - nobody will yell at you for not gging.

EDIT:

P.S
Props to OP for the Dune reference. 2nd guy I notice using a Dune name in a short time.


Who is the other one?

I don't care (anymore) if people say gg or not, there are instances when I don't either. I love it when I get BM-ed though, that always makes me laugh - contrary to the BM-ers wishes

If I feel like it I chat a bit in the beginning of the game, sometimes I even start conversations myself (like asking "from?" if a certain nickname is interesting or anything). I always try to be helpful / respond if I get asked "What did I do wrong?" after my opponend conceded (happened like 10 times total though,but it's a beta so why not).

DeMusliM is a nice fellow, he always asks how my day has been so far, etc
Complete the cycle!

I can understand how someone might say "GG" in the heat of the moment. After a quick reassessment he could see an opportunity that he overlooked. I know that I have been guilty of this once or twice in the past.

It has never been part of my strategy to to abuse chat and GG to try and cheese a win. That's just BM.
you think as i do

As it has been mentioned in the thread, might have done a few "offensive GG's" when just completely roflstomping on an opponent, but never to fake giving up.

Just lost a game where my opponent gg`ed and then I lagged out after 3-4 minutes later where he just turtled off one base after I killed his expo, his tech, and most of his drones..

I prefer the Idra way. Start out by complaining about last game and then when you, inevitably, lose, tell the other guy how big of a cheesy noob he is. Then proceed to TL.net forums and do the same. For good measure, throw in how imbalanced all the races, except the one your playing, is. I make a lot of friends this way actually!

I dont stop playing until my opponent has left the game. I usually wait to say GG until its convenient as well, I don't interrupt micro/macro to GG. Often times my opponent leaves be4 I get to type GG but w/e.

At lower brackets, there's so many noobs that refuse to gg and leave. They would gg and then build buildings all over the map, or gg when they thing they are about to win the game(of course they don't, cause my immortals are burning up the supply depots in the main while my probes kill the m&m).

Lol, I think that too. I often ask them, why no GL or no HF, depending on what they type.

Funniest BM story was when I typed GL HF to someone in a 1v1 ladder match and he started arguing why I had BM and was a liar. He claimed it was BM to say something you didn't mean, and pretty much spent 5 minutes calling me a liar.

I just finish until the very end, even if they say GG. Don't let your guard down.

I get that a lot too and I usually talk short and finish them off and then ask them after all of it what they wanted and then they usually just ignore me xD

starcraft always had an unusually high degree of good manner compared to every other online game. starcraft 2 is going to bring people in from other communities who don't bring the manner.

one could speculate a lot of things why... but i'm going to guess it's just because starcraft is really hard and you get nothing out of it but the joy of playing and improving and that makes you grow up a bit. sometimes. if you're not idra.

I'll say GG if its actually a good game. If someone cheeses me or bunker/cannon rushes me or something of that nature. Like when protoss come in and try to build cannons and gateways all over the place then you have to pull your scvs lines to kill them and he just cancels them to screw with your economy. Then i just leave. Cause thats not a good game.

I throw up "good strat" or "nice cheese" because I really respect it and specifically its implementation. I do this before Im ready to tap out.
Once I can't win I gg and exit, or chat about stuff like 'do you want to practice together' etc but I never try and keep winning once the GG goes out.

People that do that just lose all respect from me.

People always ignore the psychological aspect of gaming. It's just like the ref says to the boxers before the fight "protect yourself at all times" , once you let your guard down in the middle of a fight, regardless of what happens, it's your fault if you get burned for it.

It seems to me that most of the people who think it is bad manners, need something of assurance in this game to make themselves feel better for winning. Why not get Blizzard to program it in, when the game starts you automatically say GL HF. When you do the old F10 + E + Q you automatically say GG to the winner. Seriously I don't get offended when people don't GG me. There are a lot of things that could happen that would be worse than a non GG.


That reminds me of one guy I played against, he lost hard, and in the end he wrote "i hope you mom die". :D He could at least write it correctly
