When you cross that border of about 1/3 top, maybe 2/5 top, BM is just gone, aside from Idra. Yea they still curse like shit, but it's all with understanding. They get greedy, they get punished, you miss scouting pattern you get owned. Of course everyone gets mad, but I guess people just realize it's goofy to insult where it's 100% clear that you fucked up. I'm talking about NA sever, so don't think I'm preaching from a different boat. No, it's still there. | ||

I stick to gg wp, or something along those lines and will generally do this whatever the opponent has done, except maybe if I'm having a bad day and get marine scv all-inned, but even then I'll just leave without a gg and its more because I'm too busy being angry at myself to be polite. What I don't understand are the people who are really friendly in the opening stages of the game, and then leave without a gg, even if its been a straight up macro game. And raging or being rude to a bm player is probably the worst thing you can do if they win, that's exactly what they want. I'll ignore it and be polite if they win and rip into them if they lose, I figure those are the choices that minimise their satisfaction and maximise their sorrow respectively. | ||

Sort of like someone is rarely laughing out loud when they type lol. In fact I need to actual type in words of something made me laugh out loud to differentiate from the over-users. Its just polite, like saying nice to see you when you run into someone that you know, but are pretty indifferent about meeting. | ||

I've talked to a couple of people post-game as well about the game and it was quite pleasant. Good people do exist  | ||

Not all games are well played. gg has already become a mindless end-of game ritual (though it's a little amusing how many people message me to gloat about my 'ragequit' if I leave without a gg). Why do so many people think it's a good idea to make 'wp' and all it's variants equally meaningless? If I want to compliment my opponent on their play, I'd rather not have to write an essay to do so. On the other side of the coin, if I receive a 'gg wp' I'd like to think it's sincere and not just a mindless response to the game ending. Maybe gm is worthwhile as a tool to keep yourself in a positive mindset (though I'd say there's far better ways to do that) but most people in this thread just seem to be in favor of automatically praising the opponent after every game, at which point it loses meaning. I used to feel exactly like this. Then I realized, perhaps it wasn't so mindless. Yes, people do it mindlessly, but it doesn't have to BE mindless. I can control my own behavior, not other people's. So I started genuinely looking for things to compliment my opponents on. It actually ended up helping my play (my on-the-fly analysis improved drastically), and my mindset. Sure, there is no truly new composition these days, but there are creative timings. I may go "oh, shit, I'm being 2 rax proxy bunker rushed again," or I could say "wow, this guy got this rush up a lot quicker than I'm used to," and admire the smaller details, the distinct differences, and ultimately learn to distinguish between feints and all-ins while measuring my opponent's commitment. | ||

"lol so outplayed GG WP" so I figured he meant that he got so outplayed by me and was being nice about it. Maybe it's the opposite, but I did kinda feel like I was running in circles around him and deserved it. | ||

It's just that I have this problem where I get pissed when rushed/cheesed. And then I want to BM the douche who won. I wholly realize the projection nature of it. I do gg for good games, and most times I'll apologize later if I think I raged too hard at someone. But to your point, if I could do this, and mean it, I'd be 10x a better person. Kudos to you for at least trying. | ||
