Is this really that much of a problem?

F10-S to go to score screen after a win

F10-N to surrender

If that button doesn't say score screen, then DONT HIT IT. How hard is that?

i've been a victim of this garbage a few times. pushed early, wiped dude's army, dude typed gg, and i assumed i'd won. so i'd alt-tab or leave my computer for a couple minutes, only to come back to find my base wiped. it seems the only remedy for this kind of degenerate nonsense is to scatter units around the map and make sure to kill everything they have. or just hope the person you're playing isn't a complete asshole

I remember back in beta i was doing this 1v1 on metalopolis. PvP and he tried to go DTs while i went 2 gate robo. So since I had an observer I didn't lose too many forces, and he GG'ed with most of his base still up and didn't leave.
I found him to be a bit rude for not leaving after GG, but decided i'd just win this the old fashioned style. So ignorantly i started to destroy is buildings 1 by 1 trying to force the win.

Now i knew something fishy was up, and thank god i was smart enough to scout his second base because he was just warping in his 4th warpgate. I fortunately managed to overrun him again with some reinforcements but that could have ended really bad as I totally let my guard down after that GG.

People who do that are a show of really bad sportsmanship. But I learned fast enough not to let my guard down and to always make sure he actually left the game.

Because to anyone who's not a douchebag, gg means "ok, you win." Should you play through to the victory screen? Yeah, I guess. But should you have to hope that your opponent isn't trying to pull some scrub trick to eek out a win?

He has a point though. This is why I always say gg back, and then I keep building, expanding, and attacking. I've had enough people change their mind after the initial "gg."

They should just patch it so if you type "has left the game!" in chat, you actually forfeit.

Doesn't WoW have something like this, if you type /camp ? I never understood that.

Even if it worked on a person once, I don't see how they could ever fall for it again. Just take a second and make sure you're clicking score screen and not surrender.

How could this ever work? Doesn't the option menu to leave automatically comes up when the other guy leaves?
