Am I the only one that notice how people are more friendly on ladder in the morning? Always "hi gl hf" and some small chatting in the beginning and then gg at the end of the game. Never happens to me when I'm playing in the evening. ;O
The game changes allot based on time. Between 5am-8am you get all the people who are doing all-nighters who don't speak at all, 8am-12 I find people are really mannered (probably playing during a lecture), between 5pm-midnight I find people get progressively more grouchy Just my person experience though

The most mannered thing you can do in my books is a simple gl hf at the start, gg wp at the end. Maybe a few jokes during.

I've been trying this out and I actually feel a lot less angry at losses. Although it does seem people feel it comes off as sarcastic.

More power to you, OP. I will try to do that also, but it's not that long ago since i punched my external harddrive after being cheesed too many times in a row. I will try, though.

It is all fake, except for "nice timing"

Timings can actually be impressive when two players with the same ratings meet. Also, "nice micro" is possible, I've been told it once or twice, when I impressed even myself with that micro. It's very rare. Other than that, there is really no good emotion to be caused on the loser side when two players with the same rating meet. There are same rushes, same strats, same tricks over and over, and most of the losses come from you fucking up, not your opponent outclassing you, that's why most people get mad, that's why I usually get mad. At myself, not at the opponent, he just happens to be there and take some rant. Also, if you don't get mad while losing, you are bound to diamond league and most. Even WhiteRa gets mad, he just hides it professionally and calls it "special tactics"


Actually, none of it is fake :D

You are awesome, OP.

Mostly, I just gg, though I always gg when I can. Sometimes, I engage in friendly repartees/discussions with my opponents, especially in team games.

I wish I met more people like you.

I feel that even in the beginning of games, nobody ever tells each other "gl hf" sometimes, and it just ticks me off a bit. (I'm coming from a BW background where everybody would say that in chat usually) But there are those who say it then i say the same back.

I feel that in SC2 people on the ladder are pretty harsh when it comes to that stuff, and people should just calm down a bit sometimes :[.

I've done stuff like this quite a few times. I always GG, but a couple of times (especially in Beta) I am just flat out complimentary. A guy did Blink Stalkers into my siege line on LT, I remember specifically, taking about 2 or 3 and blink onto each tank and focus it, was really nice. I was just like damn dude- nice micro. Generally, if I get plain out macro'd I will give the GG WP. Also for some super annoying harass ^.^

Yea pretty much. I always get mad when I lose, every game should be a win in my opinion. It's just about always my fault as well, which is where most of my anger comes from.

Unfortunately my ZvT build doesn't use early banes. Plus it is hatch first so if I don't scout that kind of thing I get completely screwed >_>

As someone who gets really angry at myself when I lose, I say gg'ing helps. It's like telling yourself '"it was a good game, my opponent played well, it's not the game, I can play better in the future and beat him." May sound stupid, but it helps me refocus. When I don't gg, not only am I angry at myself, but I feel bad about bming like 20 seconds later.

I just feel like people who beat me because they can blindly counter me don't deserve gg's. If they legit scout and react very well or straight up out play me of course I will give them a gg.

Hahaha, I'd be careful with being too mannered some people will prob take it as sarcasm. I just not act like a douche, wish them gl hf and GG if I lose.

I say gg for every one except cheesers. Some times I try to pm a person who said gg at the end of a game and give them a pointer if they did something obvious wrong, but I usually end up getting cussed at.

On a side note I've played a few people the past few days who have said "gl hf, sir" at the beginning of the game, then when I win they don't say gg.

Eh, I say gg once in a while. Depends in what mood I am in. I bm a lot on ladder lol, especially if I lose because I completely messed something up.

When I play a really good straight up macro game win or lose I talk to my opponent after the game and have made quite a few friends/practice partners in doing so.

I used to leave every game without a GG but I came to the same conclusion you did. If I compliment the other player at the end it makes me realize they played well and it wasn't just my horrible play.
