You expect the opponent to tell you "good game" after On February 20 2011 12:54 samboi wrote: a quick push (*cough* 4 gate shenanigans)? Tough, tough. I mean i got replies like "all terrans are fags" when i bunker up to hold off a cannon rush. I just rofl irl and move on. Edit (have more to say!): That being said, if the Terran decides to float and try to rebuild, it gives you all the time in the world to make motherships/carriers/brood lords/5 CCs into planetary fortress/nukes. A lovely way to mess with a bad mannered person and spoil his day. | ||

If you actually feel justified in making a thread about the topic it must bug you immensely, understand that some people have different ways of dealing with things and if they don't accept the mannerisms of saying gg at the end then that should be perfectly acceptable. 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 He is complaining about people not leaving a game when they lost everything except floating buildings, not really about people not saying "gg". | ||

I suppose you could ask nicely, but chances are, your team will beat you to the punch with profanities. I think this pretty much sums it up. Obviously being BM will only fuel their desire to drag out the game but ultimately you cannot sweet talk them into a GG because they are frustrated/angered. If, however, you do find a way to charm people into leaving, please share.  | ||

Get your speed up by having a little chat with your opponent, shake hands, treat eachother as humans, which goes beyond the robotic "HF GL". Perhaps this is personal - hf, gl and gg just piss me off as to me they seem meaningless - but it seems to work: show some true manners, remind eachother you're not a bot, and this won't happen. Sure, some people will still stretch a game after you know they don't stand a chance. Those moments I try to keep in mind I enjoy kicking their asses, and maybe they enjoy attempting a hopeless comeback. To everyone their own. Edit, to clarify further: On February 20 2011 19:02 Schnake wrote: I think this pretty much sums it up.

If, however, you do find a way to charm people into leaving, please share. In these severe cases you fucked up long before. You frustrated/angered them and probably showed you enjoy this. Both of you have descended to a pre-school level where this stuff can happen. If you don't like it, prevent it. As said "glgl" or "hfgl" or "hfhfhflgfllghlflglfghfl" just piss me off to start with, this has nothing to do with manners. Concerning my own behaviour in all of this, I never face people acting as such. At the same time, I never say any of the "standardised manner-words". Hell, if that's the limit of my oppononents communication skills, I happily leave without saying anything. Not because I'm mad, but because I never got the impression playing versus another human. | ||

I quite like the smack talking that multiplayer often devolves into so i'm quite happy to verbally spar with an opponent at the end of a game. I never really understood why people take "BM" so seriously, it's just a game on the internet after all. | ||

You truly make battle.net a more enjoyable place. Right on. | ||

You try some new shit and he rolls you - is that a good game? no You fail horribly - is that a good game? no He does something super cheesy, fails, makes something incredibly cheesy again and wins (because he is protoss)& you fail and let him win - is that a good game? no It's not ragequitting, saying gg when the game clearly isn't good makes no sense on ladder. When both players play well or I encounter a new or well executed strategy/tactic I say gg and wp. Tournaments are different IMO, you should've trained to play your best there, everygame should be a good game by you. You expect gg in random teamgames? That's just not going to happen. BM and drawing the game out I don't really understand. | ||

I personally don't say anything at all when I ladder. Too bad I can't just disable the chat entirely. You'd be amazed how many people get angry at people who don't say anything. | ||

How about you people all read the OP. Read the WHOLE POST and not only the title. What the heck is it with you guys? Why are you posting here at all? It's seriously annoying. You voluntarily misinterpret the OP because it gives you a good chance to rant and get your post count up, I suppose? There are so many unqualified, simply stupid posts in this thread, I can't believe it. I believe no one here is interested in your opinions, if you can't even bear to read the OP, letalone the answers of former writers, because there have been quite some competent people around who either gave good answers to the OP or further explained what he meant, so people like you stop writing off-topic rants that are completely pointless. As for the topic, I have already stated everything a page or 2 ago. If you are actually interested in the topic, I strongly suggest you go back and read my post. It was rather long, but I think it elaborates on the OP's concerns quite well. | ||
