EPTWhen it comes to manner liftoffs, get over it really they are wasting just as much time as you, if you care about your ladder score enough to take two minutes to get air units then its not really a big deal.

Well that is sometime tiresome (in teamgames especially), typical is that terran has island base, and when we are killing everything else they have he builds like 50 missile turrets. It takes a loooooong time to kill that (as protoss at least). | ||

What he was asking for was a way to have your opponent simply surrender when they are in a situation where they basically can't win anymore. If I got it right, it's not so much about them actually typing "gg", it's just annoying if you are 100% sure you just won the game but still have to fight for another few minutes, even if it's just destroying your opponents buildings. As long as you still have some combat units, that's fine, just stay till they are actually taken out. But if it's only your 3 bases with a marginal income or something vs. a Protoss deathball for example, it's just unnecessary to stay in the game.

I can understand that if you get 6pooled/proxy rax'd/gated or something, you actually try to make them waste time on you - especially when you've had that happened to you a couple games in a row. The best thing you can do after your cheese is to just build up air units asap and win the game anyway.

Though as a terran and my opponent GG's for me I take it offensively and drag the game as long as I can. In my opinion you misinterpret what it means to type "gg" before you leave. All it is supposed to do is to show respect for your opponent because he outplayed you. It even makes you feel better yourself, because if you accept his victory and show some respect to the opponent, it makes it less painful to lose to him. If he won by cheese, which some people may consider BM, you could still leave without saying gg, I guess most people would at least understand that. A few days ago there was an interesting thread on manners, discussing all this "gg" stuff. Maybe you want to go there, because the OP actually referred to something completely different. Concerning the topic, I do not think there is a good way to force a gg. If they don't have much left anyway, just go and kill it. If you have "3 Factories, 3 Starports, 6 Bases, 2 golds and are maxed", just go and kill him, what's the problem with that. Asking someone to leave or even type "gg" after you killed his army is something that I consider highly insulting and BM. In addition, that won't get you anywhere anyway. Not cheesing, being polite yourself, maybe have a little chat in early game or so - that's probably the best you can do in order to have people leave when they're actually done. Edit: Hell yeah, the trick to suggest you're trying to do achievements and actually want him to stay is probably worth a try as well. | ||

I just look at it as I want to get in the next game or watch the replay as quick as possible. I dont consider that "ragequitting"... ragequitting is only for tournaments when you dont GG. Ladder is just ladder, you play one game then goto the next asap. | ||

I mean, I can see being frustrated with people lifting off and turreting up to waste your time, but not gging isn't a big deal. If that's really a problem, you're seriously lacking in social skills. It's not a MAJOR big deal, and I wouldn't call it BM. I would call it RAGE STAY. Lacking social skills really has nothing to do with this. | ||

Sadly enough, there also seems to be a huge positive correlation between people who say "gl hf" at the start and people who cheese. I wonder if these people understand what those letters mean. I'd quit SC before I'd GG a cheeser. | ||

Instead of targeting your opponent you really should consider some self reflection as to why it bugs you or if it's just a means to belittle your enemy even more | ||

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." Ummm if you GG before they GG, ofcourse they aren't going to leave. I am pretty BM and talk a lot of shit before leaving, but I always leave. If you GG me when you "think you've won", I will make you kill every last one of my buildings, even the extractors I scattered around the map. | ||

I wanted to chime in to say that I love that part of the game. I would want it go on for longer. Being at the point where the enemy is too behind to catch up, having him stay in the game is just wonderful. That's where the fun part is. The longer they stay in the game and delay, the more skilled you look in comparison. I hope for all game-ending delayers to continue what they do. Also, one great thing I have liked to do is not attack when the guy is doing a delay method. Why finish off the game when you are chewing away at someone's belief of their game skill? | ||

I find it most disappointing when the other team leaves immediately. Probably 75% of team games don't go late game. So it's fun screwing around with infesters, broodlords etc while they throw 40 supply armies at you. | ||
