I'd like to know what the general consensus on premature GGs.
Usually, I hate it when my opponent gets the SLIGHTEST advantage and calls GG immediately, assuming I'm going to give up. In fact, on occation that slap in the face serves as a wake up call and I end up pulling out with the win.
But I've noticed sometimes I GG prematurely as well. Generally, if I thought it was a good game, I'll GG when I believe it is impossible for them to come back, i.e., when I've killed their standing army and am in the process of destroying their last base.
Another factor you have to consider is how many people quit the game without saying GG. I'm guilty of GGing prematurely because I thought they were on the verge of leaving without a word.
What do you guys think? Is a premature GG bad mannered all the time?

It's BM. I never say gg unless they say it, or unless I'm the one that lost

It's pretty BM to premature GG, but if your opponent's been a dick all game or even pulled out his own premature GG, it's only justice to GG back at him if you make a comeback.
|
I don't gg when people preemptive gg. I'll just leave because I see it as arrogance.
|
Its only ok if I make a epic comeback and kick his sorry offensive-GGing ass for the BM :D
WHICH I DID
|
I do it all the time but in the literal sense (I have to explain it all the time) good game, as in its been an amazing game vs them and it has been a real challenge and it was fun.
EDIT: I premature GG when Im loosing too explaining how fun it was but how its not over yet.
|
It's pretty BM, so yeah never do it. It's just shows that you are a dick
|
If you've beaten them and they're being a dick by not leaving and microing their 2 probes + 1 near dead unit just to be annoying. Totally acceptable given the circumstance.
|
although i voted you should never do it . There are some rare times you probably should lol. Its definitely 100% bm though.
I think there has been a thread on this already

Didn't Chill and DjWheat talk about this exact same thing on the last episode of weapon of choice?

this, if he cheesed you with some proxy or something, just gg cheeser and see him ragequit ^^

I only do it when my opponent gives a failed pre-emptive GG earlier in the game. Oh and you gotta throw in the smiley, it makes all the difference.
|
I never GG my opponent when I win unless he GG's first. It's rude.
Speaking of premature GG, I've played like 10 random team games now where my teammates have all completely GG'ed out and I continued playing, only to win it for our team. It's so annoying, but feels pretty epic to beat out teams 2v1, 3v1, or 4v1.
|
I always used to do it (pre-mature gg'ing) back in Warcraft 3 because I learned from friends there (in the first major RTS game that I played) that it was polite to gg as the game was finishing. So, when people didn't gg back, it always seemed rude to me.
...Of course, after hanging around TL for a year or two, that viewpoint has completely changed, and I never, ever premature gg... Just thought I'd comment though - when somebody tosses out a premature gg at you, they may not be BMing you =/ It might just be their own understanding of how gg-ing "works".
|
pretty much just if the opponent is an asshole, or maybe if theyre staying in the game for no reason (buildings floating around and shit.) pisses me off so much when people offensively gg me. half the time it's right when i would've said it myself.
|
I hate it when people offensive GG me, but I love it when I beat them after it. Offensive GG is bad manners, no matter what way you spin it, you look like a tool after.

if by gg you mean
"winner is determined" kinda gg then ya I see why people get mad
but the real meaning of gg is "good game".
I should be able to call that ANY POINT in time
Still its pretty dumb to get mad over something like "I win".
People are just so sensitive on SC.

I never do it and you shouldn't but if the person is already being a huge dick and you do it after that then doesn't really matter. Normally I ignore bm (like today 1000 diamond insulting me for playing the easy race when I beat him so I just didn't say anything) but if the guy offensive gg's and I call him on it and he's not apologetic then that's the time when I feel the urge to lift and tab lol
|
i do it when i completely shut down cheese. if i come out of being contained with cannons by using a nydus to flood their base with lings or use a scouting drone to build a proxy hatch or something like that, then i preemptively gg. sometimes a little bm is necessary to put some cheesy idiot in his place =P
don't get me wrong, i try to be mannered as much as possible. gggl at the start of every game and gg when i lose games, but sometimes when players get a little too stupid and zerg just feels a little too weak... manners come second to making it clear to the opponent how awful he is at the game.
