Offensive GG is totally bad mannered, and I agree with others who suggest that the moron typing the offensive GG really means that they want to have to waste the next 10 minutes of their life chasing my ninjabuildings around the map.

I GG only when I see I'm losing.
then again I had 2-3 games where I GGed and after that actually managed to give a good fight and perhaps even win

Anyway - assuming defeat too early is always bad idea

I encourage BM people to do it more often. Nothing's more hilarious when somebody writes GG and then gets roflstomped because u have 2 hidden expos and are currently stomping all he has with nydus worms. lmao

I Premature GG if im playing against a BM asshole. LIke the other day I was play a T that though if his CC was alive the game wasnt over yet. So he had 3 CC no SCVs and was floating and landing all over the map. I think anyone would be like GG leave the game and stop being BM when the game should have been over with 10mins ago.

What? The post you're apparently agreeing with said if they were being a dick whereas you think it's acceptable to do if they do any strategy you don't like. I don't see how failed cheese merits bm treatment, if anything you should be grateful that they tried something so easy to stop.

An offensive gg is only ok if your opponent does it first when he is about to win, but grows overconfident and lets you make the comeback.

Any other time it's probably the most BM thing you can do. Even if the guy is BM and lifting his buildings off all over the place etc. you should never do it.

The only thing that really annoys me in SC2 is when someone offensive GGs. It's BM worse than any name calling IMO, and I will as Zerg do my best to draw out the game as long as possible and then go AFK when I've put hatches and evo chambers everywhere (from overlords dropping creep).

If I was being a real dick I'd maybe try typing "has left the game!" and then "has been defeated!" really quickly after, although I'm yet to do that.

On the other side of the coin, I nearly always say something when I'm beaten (and they haven't offensive gg'd me). If it's a cheeser or someone who I know I should have beat, I throw out a "wp" 90% of the time, since it was anything but a good game but they outplayed me. Otherwise I give a "gg wp" or just "gg". I occasionally ragequit when I get really pissed off at myself for something stupid, but who doesn't once in a while?

Offensive gg is worse manner than insults when losing imo because it actually means you have won the game and still bm your opponent.

When someone gives me a premature GG I will try harder than ever to win or prolong the game.

My answer is: Never do it*.

*If they are being dicks themselves, and forcing you to eliminate them or something, then its fine, since they are being even more BM.

It doesn't save you any time anyway, if someone offensive ggs me, I build as many buildings in as many locations as possible and afk 'til he kills them all. I really, really can't stand it..

Offensive GG is BM in my opinion so i never do it. Even if i really wanna commend someone on a good game i'll wait till after he GGs.

GG in Starcraft goes beyond the meaning of the simple words. The first GG is much closer to the word "surrender" than it is to "good game". So the loser saying GG first means as much as: "Well Played I surrender". Whereas the winner saying it first means as much as: "I beat you, surrender already"; which sounds really arrogant.

I dont get offended when it's obvious I'm losing and someone gg's me. However, this one time a protoss showed up at my nat with 3 void rays, caused me to cancel it, and then flies in the direction of my main and gg's me. I'm like, yeah whatever, and my queens made short work of them, and then I nydused into his base and raped it. Of course, I then said gg, but only when it was obvious he was going to lose. I think it's totally bm to be rushing in your army, before any true damage is done, and say gg.

However, when it's obvious I'm gonna lose, I'll agree with a gg and not think anything of it. I'll say gg when I've scouted all expos and know I have his last main/expo beat, but not with a simple 3-4 unit flying harrass, like several n00bs like to do. Too many people do leave without saying gg, and I think it's very unsportsmanlike to not acknowledge that it is just a game, and that it was infact fun, despite the loss.

We tend to get our emotions wrapped upin the game way too much, which does improve our game, if channeled right, but simply bitching at each other and saying the other guy/gal's a n00b, you suck, no you suck, etc. is when our emotions have been improperly channeled. I admit, when I'm losing I have a deep seated hatred of the opponent, but I don't bitch them out, and if they start to do so, I ignore it and focus on my apm, and afterwards say gg and talk about the game and what could have been done better, etc, assuming they're willing to talk in a mature manner.

There have probably been 1-2 times I thought I just knew I had the win, but somehow the opponent pulled a rabbit out of there hat and beats me, to which I apologize and bow my head to their supremecy, saying that it was indeed, a gg, and a gj on their part. I think we should be mature, but at the same time acknowledge the opponent is right when in fact it is a gg, even if our last structures are still standing.

Never happened to me,but I imagine that if he calls a preemptive gg and you manage to curb stomp him in the end you get to feel pretty smug and rub it into his face. At least I would.

I get how people might feel aggravated if someone calls gg on them when they've still got a chance, but it really shouldn't get to you, because if it does means the guy calling gg has won in a way.

Never. Ever. But what I want to know is the proper response to it. You give in to their gg? Or you rage quit? Or like me say something like "yea yea buttwipe. gg" quit.
