When I had fun (or not but it wasn't something really annoying) I always gg and wp when deserved. So how do you "deserve" a win? When your opponent wins using your imaginary rules that you made up? Isn't it worth saying "wp" if he beat you? | ||

And, I always say GG before I leave a game.... Unless my friends are dicking around and I'm too pissed to care. GG before you leave, this is imperative! | ||

BUT! for some odd reason, if im pissed about a game, when i say GG before i f10-n, i actually dont feel as mad about it. im not sure why it is, but losing to something and getting mad at myself, saying gg makes me not upset anymore. no idea why this is, but its cool. haha | ||

you can say that not gging is a sign of you not thinking it wasn't a good game, but the truth is if you don't often GG it's because you're angry / BM, and not because of the actual outcome of the game (like I said, 70%+ of my standard games go past the midgame, not cheese / gimmicks and these are my experiences in masters). also I'm very happy blizzard enabled the "no messages from players not on your friends list" feature. being messaged after a game after losing to someone tilted me like no other. AND on a side manner-note, dont fucking post someones bad manner PROVOKED by YOU in Teamliquid's "hilarious / confusing bad manner thread". It's so obnoxious when some guy says AFTER a game in a chat message "gg" (if his opponent didnt GG or something) OR if you cheesed the fuck out of someone and then the opponent rages a bit (and you continue to provoke his rage.).. then of course the opponent BMs the fuck out of him. he then derps over to the BM thread and says "lolz guyz look at dis BM dewchbaag isnt he so BM".... .... well no you fucking provoked him -.- | ||

Of course, if I'm intentionally being mannered, and it was a 6 pool or some crazy allin, the guy chats me afterwards and wants to team up for practice partners. Then I have some trouble with manners! Politely declining without insults if it was clear I had seen the best he had to offer as far as strategies in the matchup. | ||

I would still go back and watch the replay to see what I could refine and improve upon though (while narrating what my opponent is doing in a derogatory fashion; i.e. 'lol, this kid' 'rofl'). | ||

Crazy thought, say goodbye or thank you for the game then, not good game. One is a lie and the other meets your requirements. As I see it you are just lieing to people on purpose. Thats pretty BM. | ||

Even today I had a conversation with a protoss that went FE, VR and then I complimented him because I couldn't scout his stargate. Even though I lost and it sucked, he was talking to me like a human being, using smilies, etc... It made me want to ladder more and gave me more motivation to do better. If someone comes into a game and starts trolling and BMing, it puts me in a bad mood, regardless if I win and discourages me from laddering any further (probably resorting to Nexus Wars XD). There's no reason to be so BM. If we want to start counting StarCraft II as a REAL eSport, then people need to be more sportman about their games. Don't you remember 10 year old baseball, or even professional sports? Since when does the medium of the playing field change how courteous you are to the other team before and after the game? | ||

You're not actually sending him luck when you wish him gl. He's not actually going to become better because you told him gl hf. And even if you fall to a cheap strat, a win is still a win. It's not like cheap strats will win you a GSL or anything, because as you get better, you learn how to defend against cheap strats. I used to never gl hf because of the same reasons you listed, but I've discovered that even if you chat just a little little bit with your opponent, you feel so much better after losing, and your opponent is less likely to bm you if you win. What you say does not have to mean the words' literal meaning. Also, if your opponent beats you, he beats you. Not saying "gg" is more lame on your side because, even if he is "cheap", it just makes you so much more arrogant that you lost to a "cheap" strategy but leave the game without saying anything, as if it were a mistake on your part and you shouldn't have lost the game. Just shows how cocky you are. Or if you don't say gg cus you think it's stupid he plays with a "cheap" strategy, that's even worse. | ||

I always GG out of games. Even one that I was ahead in XD Although not that many people on the KR server I've beaten GG to me, but whether that is because of map imbalances (close positions) or my sometimes cheesy strategies (cloaked Banshee rush into base trade into mass mules into win), I have no idea. | ||

If the game felt hopeless i type gg wp. oh and btw, i think ww =/= well won. korean gg happens to be 지지, shortened to ㅈㅈ, which is on the w key. I think some koreans forget to tab between english/korean, hence the whole ww thingy. It's also why you might see some people typing ㅎㅎ (ㅎ is on the g key). Just throwing it out there. | ||
