And if you just want to say it's a good game, why not write out "this was a good game"? gg means something completely different, ironically enough. | ||

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 Yeah same for me, if I am playing terran and someone offensive ggs me I lift and float my buildings ^^ | ||

 But typically I don't have time to gg after they do, as it's always gg, leave game immediately. And I feel a bit bad that I didn't give them the gg back in time  | ||

I never mean it as an insult, but when I have a sinking suspicion they're not gonna' gg or the game is going to end very shortly (and i mean like, I'm in their base and they have no army) then I do it as a slight nudge for them to leave, but also I usually mean it (well, as much as you can in a random game). People are going to take that the wrong way for sure.... it sounds like you mean: "haha you suck now say gg and get out you noob" | ||

Some people know it's a dick move too, one Protoss dropped pylons in front of my base Tester style, dropped a few cannons behind it, and typed "gg" at that point. Once that happens I start doing everything I can to be a dick back. If I think I'm going to lose to someone who does that, I just spawn a shit load of drones and save up minerals and burrow the bastards all over the place. That way I can keep the game going for as long as possible dropping extractors randomly.

Doing the offensive GG is exactly why players WOULD do something like fly a CC around after they have lost, lol. | ||
