I've played over 400 games and never experienced this. You must either be playing a different group of players, or be doing something to incite this.

"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."





Offensive GG'ing is always a bad idea, it'll just encourage them to delay as long as possible.

I don't see how it's BM of them to not leave. It's up to them to decide when they think they're completely out of it, or its up to you to meet the victory conditions. If this is frustrating to you then that is your problem, you have not won the game untill you see the victory sign.

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


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.


I think this is your best option. People that don't leave are usual upset. Cheer them up with praise, they feel better, don't feel like wasting your time.

I feel there's a difference between: "gg" "leaving the game" and "rage quit", I mean if I don't feel I played a good game(gg) I leave the game without a saying gg (since it means good game), but doesn't mean I ragequit.. Though as a terran and my opponent GG's for me I take it offensively and drag the game as long as I can.

happens to me like 15% of the games, words never help the rage - the only solution i found is to make starport/stargate/spirte when u feel u already won

Do something fun? I've yet to experience the terran lift off in sc2 but in brood war, I'd mass something awful and smash them. Like 200/200 scourge against lifted buildings or mass queen.

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.

This man speaks the truth, when i lose, i jsut automatically type GG/ WP/etc to my opponents. They did after all beat me and a loss is a loss.

I think you are definitely promoting turtling behavior by saying GG for your opponent. The first person to GG is in effect, surrendering. Since you won a battle, they might see you surrendering on their behalf as pretentious, and might do everything in their power to annoy you because you insulted them.

TL:DR You are BM by GGing for your opponent

do in-game BM stuff like /dancing your units, expanding to their natural, dropping mules on them, making tons of some underpowered unit or building... but I wouldn't say anything.

I always say GG when I lose, but i'd say 95% of the players i meet don't. I guess it has to do with my BW background.
btw I always say glhf in the beginning too

Uh you must be playing a different group then all of us + i think a lot of people know you are a mod for TL (unless you are smurfing)

But as for the OP, theres nothing you can do. Some people hate losing (myself included). About half my games (close to 2,000) have ended in some kind of bm.
Examples
-Warping in pylons
-Lift off CC's /buildings.

What we always do is that my teammate says 'gg guys?' and I say 'yeah, sorry, he tends to offensively gg a lot, anyway, I think it's over, right?'

thereby cleverly placing myself into the position of the good cop, faking sympathy, and thereby earning their sympathy to which they then often replay 'Yeah, kind of, good game guys', and leave.

Edit: this is usually after the point where I block escaping workers by building a nexus at their ramp.
Workers and town centres are the ultimate counter to turtles.

I don't think there's a polite way to ask someone to GG. If you ask them to GG out that just provokes them, to drag the game out even longer. My best advice to you is to make a bunch of vikings, mutas, pheonixes/ void rays and just scout out the whole base with your air fleet.

How did this thread turn into, when to gg and how to gg and whos gging, which players gg. Did 75% of the people responding to this post not read the op?

On topic: The best approach imo is try to get them to understand the game is over without being bm yourself which can be hard. Best to compliment some parts of the match then transition.

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.


" 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.


What i fail to understand is why the fuck does someone have to say GG ?? or if they don't its a rage quit .. thats the problem with something becoming the norm is that people EXPECT it , i don't see why someone needs to say gg... fuck 85% of my games aren't a fucking gg.. so i should say it just so my opponent gets a erection >_<

Sorry to be so blunt just i hate these stupid things.. its the same with Football (soccer to you others) .. If the managers in the premierleague dont shake hands at the end of the game sometimes the papers write shit .. why ? basically people who expect a gg are no better then the guys who write papers.. i base that on the fact someone must be Deluded to expect a gg out of a situation thats not a gg

Example

+ Show Spoiler +
You just 2bunkerd off my ramp and instead of typing goodgame i just left because that stratergy is retarded, close postion as a zerg is retarded
does it mean i rage quit ..!! no i just dont see what was a good game about this situation or 85% of others im faced in
