StarCraft 2 is a (almost perfectly - didn't know how to describe it, but you get my point) balanced strategy game. Whatever happens that enrages you, happens within a certain set of rules of the game. I feel this relates strong to my/anyone's problem with "cheese". In essence it doesn't really exist, but it's annoying if it happens to you. And it feels great when you survive it and win the game. But really, it happened within the rules of the game. So yeah, scout better next time, or try opening up to change your strategies. So yeah, the Terran floating off to the island expo, stretching for another 5 to 10 minutes isn't going to fill your day with happiness by any means. But going to force someone to give up (saying "gg" yourself first might push that Terran to think about them missile turrets first, to ensure the maximum amount of stretching!) via chatting with text, on the internet, where we are anonymous, is most likely not going to get you that "gg" from him. Showing that you however are mannered, might give the other party insight on how it could also be. While it won't benefit you directly in that game, it might at some point in the future. | ||

I don't think there's anyway to make someone who's kind of BM to GG.. But if people are floating around and not quitting get something to attack them, shift click the buildings and go on YouTube  | ||

The only time I find it disrespectful to not gg is when playing customs or in tournaments. And even then I do not mind if someone just leaves after being cheesed or 1aed. | ||

Say wp rather or something, because gg is like saying "just leave, you've lost", which should be my decision not yours. About the subject itself, well just kill the buildings. There's no real solution to liftoff or someone fighting until he's sent out of the game. I mean it is obviously his right to try to win/draw through any means possible... Just make sure to scout all bases, since especially chatty people can be sneaky like that, distracting you while making a new base  Pretty much this. There's been several games where I'm just about to gg when my opponent gives an offensive one. If you do that you better be prepared for playing as long of a game that I can make it. If you feel like someone is hanging in the game to long, try actually talking to the person instead of bm-ing your way to victory. That's my two cents. | ||

On another note: do you really think it's bad mannered NOT to type GG? Having a WC3 background, I am familiar with the social conventions of RTS game, but I really don't think one should lie just for the sake of being nice. For instance, I rarely ever type GL at the start of the game. I just really don't wish my opponents are lucky. I wish them a good game, I wish them to have fun, but not having luck. Same goes for GG - I really don't think it's a good game if I get Marine/SCV'ed the 91273120389th time in a row, so I certainly won't type it. TL;DR: is the GG really a necessity for good manners, if you just didn't think it was a good game? | ||

Obviously it doesn't work all the time, but I've gotten quite some "yeah you're right, wp" in response followed by 'has left the game'. If your opponents act like a 10 year old - treat them like one! Give them a little treat so they feel comfortable and profit. | ||

Technically if this situation occurs in 1v1, it's possible to win if you float away all your buildings and that 1% chance the extra 10 minutes or whatever will buy you enough time for your opponent to randomly drop from bad connection or whatever. | ||

If someone tryes to rebuild they probably see a chance of coming back, maybe because they didn't scouted how far you are ahead etc, or they want to test something. I guess bming someone only makes them bm you as well. So if you think you are so far ahead giving them informations help (not lying ofcourse). And for the people lifting buildings ... air units are there in no time so i don't see an issue there ... as those people often don't react anyway, because they went afk | ||

But then again,saying gg would not change that Seriously though, I think we need to distinguish between the StarCraft community, and the sum of StarCraft players. Those are different things - only those with a sense of community are part of it. | ||

EXACTLY.. the only time I consider it "ragequitting" is if you dont GG in a TOURNAMENT, with thousands watching on streams/money on the line. Thats not cool.. But ladder is a different story. You play your game, and just get out to the next one. no point wasting time chitchatting. | ||

I don't gg unless he had some nice attacks, drops, strategies or the match was close all the time. Those are my standards and i won't ignore them to fit the non-BM cliche. Oh and i really dont understand why getting a GG would matter. Do you really need motivation or what? | ||
