If they preemptive gg I get pissed and try to go for an epic comeback. That, or I float all my buildings away as terran or build random pylons as protoss just to annoy the fuck out of them.

Such a dick move to say GG to someone just because you beat their army/took out their nat etc. The game might be over but it is just so meh. Pisses me off so much to hear it. I suppose they are achieving their goal tho.

Never GG before your opponent does. Its just proper.

but gging before your opponent does is also the proper way to get them to spam you with pm's for 20 minutes afterwards which is always great

I dont GG them early unless the other guy was being a dick the whole game. In which case I generally do other things like cannon their buildings or build nexi or something.

But really that rarely happens. Most people on Bnet are pretty reasonable.

I never GG before my opponent unless I'm just about the kill their final building. I consider it extremely poor manner to do otherwise and it always pisses me off when people do it to me.

If someone gives the offensive GG it gives me the green light to do some gay shit, like hiding pylons or floating CC. They just talked about this on WOC. It's like if you were in a football game, your team is up and there is two min left. The other team is going for a final drive and you just go over to them and say GOOD GAME GUYS, PLEASE JUST LEAVE THE FIELD NOW.

Ya basically you're a prick if you do this.

Yeah, this angers me more than pretty much any other BM. It's one of the few things that incites me to BM myself. Usually I respond, "Thanks, didn't think I'd won!", alt-tab, and read TL while letting them finish the game the slow way.

I know this is going to sound self righteous, but I premature GG for a very noble reason. As I lost 2-3 in my placement matches due to all 5 of them being cheese and me not playing for 2 1/2 months, I got put in #1 bronze. And as I progressed back up to Gold and working to Platinum now, a lot of those lower ranked people don't know that GG is something good mannered to do. I say GG not to be a dick and to say "haha I win and you dont" I say GG when I'm 100% positive I'm going to win so maybe he will do it next time he loses.

I know it's a really retarded cause, but I do it because of that.

^ that is not a good reason to premature gg. You are actually teaching most of the lower level players bad manners, I would instead focus on teaching them to be GM by saying glhf every game and offering a gg if they gg at you.

If you're staying in the game past the point where it is CLEAR you have lost, I will gg. In fact, I actually wait several minutes just out of kindness, but then after the next battle I will just "gg." It 90% of the time pisses them off, and if they are Terran they will lift off to the corner but I don't give a flying fuck because I know it pisses them off more than it pisses me off.

Pre-emptive gg is "bm" but wasting someone else's time is much more bm, so how can you argue against pre-emptive gg, unless it's like just a cocky dick move to "gg" after you win a minor skirmish or harass. That's no bueno; however, when some moron wastes my time by not leaving I will toss the olde gg because I know it will make him rage that much more: D

I dislike how this has turned out over the years. GG means good game. If it was a good game that is over it was nice being able to say that. I had some epic games in BF:V, when I played that, where people from both teams gg:ed when there was a few seconds left.

I guess I'll have to type it out fully now a days with a sentence and not just two letters to appreciate the game. :/

Maybe so, but that's mentality.

Besides, I BM a lot. It relieves tension.

if you wanna be a douche, gg prematurely. sometimes the opponent provokes a BM response from you, but it's always really BM to do it.

when I play with my friends in team games like 4v4 or 3v3, the other players seem to think we have to destroy all their buildings to win, in almost every game. In these circumstances, when it is clear they have no other option but to lose, I'll drop the "gg" before they do, just to let them know this is how you end a game, its just as bad mannered to draw a game out as it is to shout "I WIN" in their face when you're in the lead.

I do the same thing. If Zerg: spam tons of spine crawlers and make extractors all over the map. If Terran: Lift EVERYTHING. If I can't lift, I just do supply push-ups to annoy the fuck out of them. If Protoss: I rename my base to Cannonville and populate my town!

I can take cheese, stupid all-ins, and anything else douchey compared to early GGs. I am absolutely 100% against early GG. Yes, I just affirmed my frustration against early GG twice in a sentence, and yes, it was intentional.

Does writing GG with ravens count as a premature GG, and is it BM?

for legitimately gg's people tend to say something like "very gg" or "gg wp," in my experience.

It's okay if your opponent BM/cheeses you first and you somehow end up winning.

Other than that, only GG when the loser does.

I do it every now and then, but mostly when playing someone who has clearly lost the game and is refusing to give up.

For instance, i had a game a few days ago where a turtle terran sat on his 3 bases on dq while i had 7 (3 mined out, dunno how he had minerals still), when he pushed out i crushed him and started attacking, he then proceeded to lift off his buildings (because, i guess, he thought he could win by doing that since ultra/ling/infestor doesn't have that much aa). at that point i typed gg, but yes, just because you think you're winning doesn't make it ok to type gg first.
