I would never "Premature GG" because first of all it's bad manner in my eyes. And if you GG because they lift all their buildings or are reluctant to leave, they are even less likely to leave. The only time I have ever GGed before my opponent when winning is when one guy was pissing me off by flaming me at the start of the game, so pretty much just to piss him off. ^_^

But seriously, be a good sport and just wait for your opponent to GG, trying to teach a stranger when to quit online is generally not a good idea.

I think I will start GG'ing as soon as the game starts, then just apologize and explain that I'm always premature... (MEANING I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH MY GIRLFRIEND, GET IT?)

Anyways, am I the only one who feels like blizz. made the computer to be super BM? for some reason when I play coop it sometimes starts building expansions all over the map after destroying all its stuff... why the hell does it BM then, and not when I proxy reaper rush it?! (maybe something to do with coop as opposed to 1v1?)

Omg some of you people are so thin skinned, caring about some silly timing of a GG over a game, on the internet! I find it really alien that people can get angry over something so trivial.

It's like... you know when the tank can't hold aggro in WoW. You would probably know about that.
Offensive GGs make me want to rip off my arm.

After being a victim of mass teabaggings in Halo, and general corpse abuse [gawd I hate kill-cams] in console and pc fps', seeing the occasional pre-emptive gg doesn't really bother me.

Hey, if premature ejaculation can be annoying, then why can't premature GGing?

I think a premature GG is even worse then quitting without GG. Sure both are BM, but u can not GG to somebody who knows that he already lost... u can not be so cruel and disrespecting to your opponent... Sorry but I hate those guys!

Does the team that is ahead on the battlefield wave its white flag first to show might? NO!

Alot of people coming from other games that are relatively new new to sc really dont get what its like to fucking play your heart out in a game only to lose. You're kicking yourself for letting your macro slip 30 minutes in and you have some fucking Halo 17 year old giving you shit like "gg" "leave bro" "u mad?"

More than anything I think offensive GGing is just a really easy way to goad people after you beat them. Dont.

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.


I pretty much do the same.
Cheesers are like a plague imo.

I think it's justified when the opponent is stretching the game out.
Particularly Terrans will just sit on one base for 10 minutes when they have absolutely no chance of coming back.

I consider that more bad mannered than saying GG to your opponent when you're miles ahead.

Really? I just consider that a challenge/obstacle to overcome and its seems natural to me for Terrans to turtle up whenever possible.

It's a problem of definition.

By definition, premature signifies too early, so premature GG is by definition never a good choice.
But sometimes good Starcraft players like chess players can see 6-7 moves in advance, thus can sometimes figure out that they don't stand a chance before losing their main army.
This wouldn't be premature GG for them, just normal GG after guessing that they will lose.

I have said it before but only in FFAs. A couple have games have been clearly over, I was on 9-10 bases and he was just sitting on 1 island trying to harass me and make me leave.

It's never the place of the winner or perceived winner to issue the GG.

It's the preserve of the loser. It's actually really quite rude, I think, for the ascendant player to do it.

I actually call people out about it after they do this. It particularly bugs me... It's horrible manners.

When I got the advantage, I never say "GG" coz it's bm taunting imho.
When I prematurely say "GG" in what appears a disadvantage situation for me, I quit without hesitation because calling out the GG, usually drops your opponent's concentration and I don't want to turn around the game coz he stopped microing or whatever.
Winning isn't everything for me. I'd like to improve my own skills, rather then my win-ratio. Simple as that.

Guys.

A premature gg is not the same as an offensive one.

GG'ing prematurely means to give up when you still have some chances left. I do that a lot.

You're talking about offensive gg'ing.

Offensive GG is nerd-speak for "Yes, I would enjoy spending the next seven minutes teching to air and playing a rousing game of 'Find the Command Center'".

Its usually bm, but I give a premature gg if my opponent is on his last base and mined out and his army consists of the drones next to a mined out geyser.
