I have found that quite alot recently especially during team games that some players just quite simply refuse to GG and leave, even after a quick push that feels like it shud be over it 10 mins you always get the terran who will ift off go to island and start trying to rebuild just dragging the game out longer.
Now i am finding alot of the time also that my team can be quite BM (bad mannered) towards the ones not leaving the game and this can sometimes tip them over the edge of lifting off every building into the corners of the map, making it take really long just to end the game, if a player is trying something new or thinks he actually stands half a chance fair enough, but what is the best appraoch towards these players who just dont know when to give up?
PLEASE leave constructive comments, the SC community on a whole is quite well mannered i wish for it to stay this way, for people who come across this problem to use what they read in this thread instead of ripping into them.

There really isn't one, they are happy to waste your time.
I suppose you could ask nicely, but chances are, your team will beat you to the punch with profanities.

" the SC community on a whole is quite well mannered"
Wishful thinking, but I get ragequits more than I get gg's.
This trend has spanned over all leagues I've played in.

You don't know the answer to this question?
I can tell you it, it's called the internet

It really depends on the player.
If a player ggs, they'll generally gg 90% of their games.
Something the opponent does usually won't change it.
If the player rarely ggs, that's that.
Something the opponent does usually won't change it.

Though once in a while you get these gems that are both polite, well mannered and awesome, they more then make up for the rotten eggs in the community.

people who ragequit are usually new to the community.
poeple who played BW before are good mannered,its all the new guys I tell you.

Say " GG " for them. It usually makes them happy. Win 1 battle and then say gg.

That's a interesting thread and you look really tolerant, that's nice!
How many minutes do you think you've lost?

An aggressive GG i have always considered BM and have seen many people take offence to it, persoanlly becuase it has only ever happened to me in a unwinnable position i left after the aggressive GG but still felt it was cocky and BM of the person.
|
Say this: "Ok _______, please don't leave, me and my teammate are going to farm achievements now." The person will think that they are causing you an inconvenience by leaving, and you win. I don't know what you would do in a 1v1 though.

heh, for some reason combatex comes to mind...
|
In 1v1 I usually say something like, "I have 5 bases including both golds, I have 10 rax, 3 starports, 3 factories, and I'm maxed."
As soon as they confirm that I'm being honest, they usually leave.

This comes off EXTREMELY bm to me. If I've lost a major battle, I'll either gg, stay in-game and fight for it - or the occansional ragequit... But if my opponent starts gg'ing after winning a battle, I'm taking it as a personal offense. It's like saying: Okay, I got you... Leave now
No real way of forcing it. I've tried writing wp when my opponent does some nice moves. Like drops, burrowed banelings, a good emp or a game changing force field. After praising his play, I've never experienced a player not gg'ing neither as winner or loser.

That would actually be super hilarious if someone said gg for them and they were happy (if this guy is serious though...).
I don't really think they are going to leave though if they are floating to islands. If you think they are really bad/clueless maybe you can explain to them it is considered rude to stay in the game after you have no chance of winning; but you have to be careful doing this cause you can easily come off as a condescending prick. If they know proper etiquette and aren't doing it, nothing you can say is going to change their mind.
Personally in these situations I usually start building ridiculous stuff and just generally goofing around, I get to have some fun that way at least while I wait for them to realize they have lost.

I don't GG a lot of the time out of sheer laziness.
|
If I've clearly won I normally say GG. A lot of the time they'll GG back and leave. If they're clearly doing delay tactics, I generally try to annoy them out of the game, or at least have some fun before they leave.
"You can still win, keep trying!!!!"
"You can still kill me, just build more cannons!!!!"
"This is awesome, I'm having so much fun! It reminds me of when I was in bronze"
"Wait, don't leave! I want to kill the rest of your stuff."
"My favourite part of this game was when I killed your base."

That joke went completely over your head.
edit: on topic I don't really think there's a way to deal with these guys except for continuing to play and waste your and his time. Just tech up to pheonix/corrupter/viking and kill his remaining floating buildings

I think a lot of newbies (don't follow the pro-scene/read forums) are just newbie like that. They don't even know that it's Badmannered to stay after they've lost (if they even realized that they lost). My friends and I play 3v3s often, and nobody ever leaves after a GG. We all just stay around killing things and hiding buildings until we're dead, because it's fun. They only play 2 or 3 games a week, so they don't mind dragging the game out.
