If the victory window doesnt come up. I wouldnt assume I closed it, I would assume the game isnt over.

I'm not sure if you are confused, or you actually wouldn't consider the possibility of typing "g". Of course there is also the possibility that you have never replied "gg" and therefore never realized that the screen doesn't show up while typing "gg"?

I played a terrible zerg on ladder who just made lings/banelings (i think he was platinum...) and after I stopped a attack he gg'd but didn't leave. I didn't leave and decided to check his base with a couple of warpgate units and right when I stepped down the ramp I was swarmed with so many lings/banelings but was able to hold the attack off and then was accused of mineral hacking when I destroyed his base... and i just expanded to my natural and the gold while attacking him and warping in units

Well, in addition to this:

When you Press F10 and look at the options - it will either say "Surrender" or "Score Screen"

Don't click it if its the former

I've had people try this on me and I have a few friends who try to use it. I've never seen it work, but I guess it's always possible. I always check whether it says surrender or not, and I macro harder and usually expand when someone gg's. Just can't trust them...

dumb,
if that happends then it will be 1 g not 2g's ,

if you tried to hit GG and the menue popped up in the process, then the outcome wil just be 1 g because the second g was used to "return to game" command.

so theres no denying stupidity when you fall for this.

but hey we can all be pretty stupid sometiems cna'twe

The correct answer to this is writing "has left the game!" and see if he falls for the counter-trick!

The easy solution from blizzard would be to make "Return to Game"-hotkey the letter R instead of G.

But I guess that's too obvious

I always assume that people will try to trick me...

Therefore if I play a newb that wants to chat after GG (typical placement match), I simply keep map control with decetion and macro a little.

If someone GGs and does not talk I just keep attacking and add detection, as these are often protoss waiting for their dark shrines. Kill or unpower the dark shrine and he/she leaves (or types "has left the game" :p)

Basically, if you are unsure, add safety through map control and detection, and hit F10 and then if possible select the correct option with your mouse. If you alt-tab don't complain :p

Pretty hilarious trick. I don't see how you could fall for it though. It's pretty obvious when the opponent has left and when he hasn't.

I've also never accidentally hit "return to game".

I queued up for a random 4v4 today, and when I entered somebody on the other team said "Today's my birthday, can you leave please?" So I replied with "okay" "has left the game." One of my partners then said "wow..." and actually left the game.

I've never had a moment that more deserved a facepalm than that.

Blizzard needs to do 2 things:
1. Replace the "G" hotkey with "R" for example.
2. Filter the phrase "has left the game!"

Wouldn't there be a colon or something between the name and the text too?

Jeffrey: has left the game.

wrong. fail. no. denied. 100% incorrect. And yes I do agree that SOME of us can be quite stupid and assume stuff that isn't true.
