i say gg to people i know, otherwise i dont really care because I'll never meet you in real life and likely never talk to you again. At pro level its different but at normal person level why is everyone so thin skinned ._.?

IMO if a game was a good game then i don't see the problem in saying it but to just expect to hear it when you win is kind of bad mannered in my view like "ya i beat you now you tell me its a good game nuB"(irony). Its just 2 letters said in a game get over it ._>

I don't say anything at all. It seems like just about everyone I play has a major attitude problem, so I don't want to give them anything at all to work on. So I just enter the game silently and leave the game silently. Sometimes people get mad at me and call me BM after the match for just quietly leaving the game, but I just don't respond to them either. Don't see how not being explicitly good mannered makes me bad mannered.

Personally, I always say GG, even when I get cheesed. It's just a way for me to vent a little bit of my frustration before leaving the game.Now do I expect to hear it uppon my opponent lost? I don't even watch if he says GG before leaving, it just doesn't matter.

I also always open up with a little more friendly version of the usual glhf like "hey glhf " just to initiate a conversation if the guy is open to it, making the whole game a little bit funnier. You usually don't trash talk a guy that you talk with during 5 minutes during the game.

I rarely say gg. It's an admittance of defeat through superiority. I only say it when my opponent has used an original strategy, and beaten and outmanuevered me. Nothing less is worth a GG.

I like both of your arguments a lot, but I'd like to add a point.

In competitive sports, let's use Hockey as it is the one I am most familiar with, the post-game line up and bump fists and shake hands is customary. It isn't so much an acknowledgement that the game WAS good, but rather that the other team played hard regardless of the outcome. Even though in most lines, the words "good game" are uttered, they are more customary than meaningful. When the Canucks go down 1-9 against Chicago because Luongo played like crap, the teams will still line up and shake hands.

So I do agree that even a cheese game deserves a gg. It might not have been your best game, and it maybe is not representative of your true skill, but you have to recognize that in that one instance, you were outplayed.


Yeah, I can definitely understand that. And agree with it, even. I just want to defend the opposite side, who are even called bm sometimes. People in general don't like losing, so if they get upset about a loss and leave without a gg, I don't mind, because I know it sucks, because I've lost games myself. I just try to be a bit more understanding. Especially since the "gg" isn't as integral a part of this game as things like shaking hands is in hockey and bowing is in most martial arts.

I don't hold grudges against people online because I know that deep down, despite the occasional BM and shit flinging, we all love each other very much <3

This is a saints work. Even saying "gg" is a struggle for me at times. The immediate F10-N is my usual go to. But I'm gonna try this out.
Talk not to me of blasphemy, man; I'd strike the sun if it insulted me.

ROFL! Get over yourself...

The other day I was called out by an opponent when I didnt respond with a GG when I beat him and he GG'd... I found it funny because in that instant I realized I didnt respond because people usually gg then leave before I can respond.

It's a game that we are suppose to have fun with... not use as a measuring tool for our cocks... Just GG.

I like the OP's idea. I'm guilty of raging in ladder from time to time, but it's never personal. Going into a game with a winning mindset and a kind attitude is still possible imo.

Seriously, being good or bad manner doesn't change shit about your play : just depend on the personality i supose.
You can agree on the fact that you fucked up somewhere, and still think what the opponent does needs no skills : seriously, I will never say "awesome play" to a guy who marine scv all in me. Never.

You also need to have some respect for good players, saying gg always actually underrate the gg wp in my opinion.

i always compliment my opponents when i lose on the ladder actually - i like to look at my losses as a learning opportunity (this coming from a chess heavy background, thats probably the reason why)

so yeah

The "gg" that anyone's said to me that hit home was when I 1/1/1'd a Protoss (being a former Protoss player myself, I felt like dirt after), and he said "gg wp".

I would've NEVER gg'd against a 1/1/1 yet he had the balls to do so.

I say GL at the start of every game and GG at the end. If I lose, it was my own fault. No point getting mad over getting beat, if you lost, it was you own fault. Man up and take the loss. Cheese in starcraft is just like camping in FPS. If you can't deal with it, then you don't deserve to deal with it, so take your losses and leave.

LOL! this ^^ some people need to learn that its just a game and losing doesn't mean you need to be a jerk and BM

I gg just about every ladder game. Keep composure, leave the game calmly, go and search again.

Every once in awhile I chat with the person I'm playing with - I met a good online friend when we started practicing together after a back-and-forth game and some banter. Unless the other person opens with bm - then they're open season.

I think the best manners are being honest and/or asking for help — not just saying that the game was good or that the other person played well (which oftentimes one or bot of such statements a person might not mean)
"Then he told me to tell you that he wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire" — "Well, you tell him that I said that I wouldn't piss on him if he was on Jeopardy!"

I never say anything in games. Someone wins, someone loses, the small talk is stupid and unnecessary imo.

When I get mass marine steamrolled I just say bg, because I don't really feel like an actual game has been played. But still it's more than most people say. When I had fun (or not but it wasn't something really annoying) I always gg and wp when deserved.
