EPTI once destroyed one of the opp's main, he immediately rebuilt his base elsewhere. His teammate has fallen so he was left with one base vs four and two armies. I scanned one of the unused mains spot his base and saw that he had nothing but fresh buildings. I didn't even move my army I typed "come on" and he left at that point.

Actually i don't really gg on ladder unless i do something like forget pool, or make a ton of lings to runby and notice he made a perfect wall, then i gg just to inform him that it wasen't a disconnect, but that he actually won (Even though i beat myself) Offensive gg is like saying "Hey, i beat you, no matter what you do now, you'll have lost" which means i stay to the last second in the game, really, don't expect to slap me on the cheek and have me obey you blindly. | ||

They have bad day and lose due to lag or stupid mistake and in adrenaline leave game without gg. Then YOU come and start spamming irritatin' shit about manners or BM yourself by telling he is bad etc. Also in teamgames i used not to GG because it too like 3-4 presses of buttons to get into actual -All- chat (Now I know you can acces this via shift-enter). Nor I took them serious enough to care be well mannered when all I do with friends is to have fun (notice I didnt mean we being badmannered by talking shit or staying in game too long). E: I'd take it as _little_ BM from my opponent to say GG after winning a battle. I've stood more than twice in a game just longer because of it which probably wasn't very mannered from me either. | ||

Though as a terran and my opponent GG's for me I take it offensively and drag the game as long as I can. I would still GG in that situation. Not GGing because you believe you played poorly is effectively saying to your opponent "you didn't win because you played well, you won because I played poorly", which is pretty disrespectful. | ||

As long as someone doesnt bm his opponent or starts the imbalance whine everything is ok for me. Imo its much more bm to annoy an opponent after the game by texting stuff like "why no gg?", often leading to a lengthy discussion that is quite pointless. | ||

Then I msg him after the game Me: "Hey man, not nice to not to GG" Him: "Fuck you" Then I met that dude 2nd time on ladder right after he lost that DQ game and it was on DQ. So he went for 1-1-1 and I FE with robo. I was sitting on 4 bases, while he was on 3. Both of us macro up and I push with hallucinated colossi and other shit. He losses really badly and just leaves again. This kinda irritated me because I thought I deserved the GG from that fag. His name: FireFistAce http://www.sc2ranks.com/us/686347/FireFistAce Can't believe he is in masters league ... | ||

That usually gets them to leave. Or the offensive gg as you're tearing through their base will usually do the trick Edited: By the way, when you message someone after the game and ask for a GG, that's just as BM. Not that I care if you BM or not, but if you're being serious about, "Well gee, he seemed nice in the beginning so I was hoping for one, so I message him after I won." Yeah, no, that's BM on your part. | ||

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 i Think you have totally misunderstood the point of the post, i have 2500 games and all in all recon that 3-4 hours maybe more have been spent building up to air hunting buildings in the corners of the maps, chasing single probes around the map cus he wants to lay down pylons until the bitter end, now i could be a dick head and GG i have won now leave, but i dont wanna be BM and also i have seen that doing this has the opposite effect. | ||

explain why he won and why I lost. Eg: if I was out macro-ed, I will say so. I will congratulate him for having a good mechanic such as this. | ||

 .Unless you are a sadist then you can probably toy with your opponent and have some fun yourself. I suggest trying mass planatery fortress, mass auto-turret, mass nukes, writing in his base with units and structures, etc. Probably not very mannered but from my experience there is a 4 out of 5 chance that they will leave faster. | ||

Seriously?? Do you really think thats manner to bug someone after a LADDER game about them not GG'ing? Odds are, the guy just wanted to get on with his next game as fast as possible, not wait around and have you say "So, why arent you congratulating me on how much I kicked your ass??".. unreal. | ||
