It is always nice when someone one all-ins you, loses, and then compliments you for holding it off. Good manners def make the game more enjoyable; I always start a game with a "glhf" and "how are you?" Most people respond kindly, some tell me to DIAF.

Nice "success" trying to ridicule players you will most likely never play again. Or do you mean success as in helping you in maintaining your delusion?

No matter how hot it gets, sooner or later there's a cool breeze coming in.

I honestly can't believe this is a discussion. GLHF/GGGL or the likes at the start, GG at the end. This isn't Xbox Live.

I can appreciate what your trying but alot of what you say just comes across as sarcasm via the internet, personally i find it best to just force myself to type gg, helps me stay calm and focus for next game.

I borderline despise the "manner" aspect of this game. I'm not saying that we should all rage at each other but I see absolutely no reason to ever say anything to your opponent at the start or end of a game. This is a competition for me, I dont want you to have any luck and your happiness with the match matters little to me as well.

Furthermore, I can't believe that the terms have caught on like they have. You can't be "bad manner" or "good manner"...... You can be poorly mannered or well mannered if you wish, but not the former.... Ugh, end rant :/

i dont say glhf, but gghf. i dont want him to be lucky^^

It seems like being "neutral" bad manner is much easier now, what with the "block messages from non-friends" option. Some people dont say a word, and you can't even gg after the game

Copy pasting the conversation instead of taking a screenshot, because it´s easier.

Erewien: this is zerg.
Erewien: you have no macro, just a move blings.
Erewien: i hope your mother dies
Erewien has reconnected.
You: Look at the replay, you had it won
Erewien: ye sure
Erewien: muta play shouldnt be allowed to win from there
You: Well, you messed up and lost lots of scvs to a counter
get sensor towers
――――――――――――――――
Erewien: cant leave there whole army to defend third..
You: Also, you had scattered supply depots instead of a full wall
And no of course you cant leave your whole army, but with a sensor tower you know how much I have there
And you can move units from your rally point
Erewien: how u mean that with that wall
You: just wall of the entire path to the bottom right expo
with depots
and a bunker or two behind
so my banelings have to hit the wall and cant reach the bunker / scvs
Erewien: hm
You: And get a sensor tower, there is no reason not to
Also
since you push to the north
your rally point might as well be to where you are vulnerable to counter attacks
which is your third. Your natural has a full wall you can raise at any time,
Erewien: k thanks for info
You: and youre pushing to the north
so counter attacks are less dangerous from there
If it's stupid but it works, then it's not stupid* (*Or: You are stupid for losing to it, and gotta git gud)

After I gg'd, we chat few lines. His compliment on my good macro (4base vs. 4base before his last push) made me smile. I've always struggled TvZ and felt that I needed to rely on 2base semiallins. This time I had picked up a build from MKP which felt really fluent and I could keep up with zerg in macrogame.

I always try to gg after a game, and the more infuriated I am with a loss, the more that I force myself to say wp. Why? Because my anger is just telling me that I felt hopeless in a situation, that I couldn't do anything in order to stop what he was doing. Whether It's a strat that I think is particularily irritating (spinewall/muta--->BL/infestor), or an all in I couldn't stop, the more rage that fills me towards the end of a game, the more I try to be kind.

Why?

For two reasons. First, it diffuses some anger, and secondly, theyre doing something right to get me angry like that (obvs if theyre not actually bming me or anything)

HAHAHA he tells you he hopes your mother dies and you help him? oh wow..
guess what he learned from that: "damn, better tell some other people that i hope their mother dies so they help me : )"

what you should do if someone is being an asshole is to tell them to go fuck themselves. acting like that -> negative reaction. don't fucking try to be their friend. thats not 'good manner' thats just laughable.

"gg wp you deserve this win"

My friends and I have gone through this soooo many times. We made it the 100 games good manner challenge back when there were threads like 100 game 4 gate where you do nothing but 4 gates for 100 games (includes six pools, 2 rax all in etc).

For 100 games, my friends and I had to accept our defeat and surrender by saying "gg well played you deserve this win" NO MATTER WHAT THEY DO. It can be a macro game, a cheese, a rush, an all in, from canon rushes to six pools to proxies whatever it is, we must surrender by doing the saying. it was actually very funny. Some people responded with a "thank you"

Nothing is wrong with it. That is a very acceptable way to post. I think your missing the point of the OP. He is saying that because he has seen such a vast amount of BM. He thinks it is a nice chance to GM the opponent. Of course it isn't needed. Its just something different it you are like some of the people who take joy in making other people happy. For instance if I read this and got six-pooled instead of getting upset. I could tell him, "Caught me off guard! Nice one!" then afterwards even if the opponent thinks your sarcastic you still are happier and feel good about yourself. And I dunno what the unnecessary vulgarity in your post is about. Saying "what's wrong with saying gg and leaving?" would have gotten your point across without giving a negative image to everyone who reads your post. Unless I suppose that's the image your trying to give off to people.

Dude you should seriously erase this post before you get a temp ban. I dunno how you could have so many posts on TL and still deem this as an acceptable post.

I only GG when it was a legit good game.. real good battles, close game.. I dont consider 20 min sitting in your base then moving out to get roflstomped to be a good game, neither do i think cheeses are. in short when i find my play failing to match my opponent it wasnt really a game, it was a massacre.

I do always say Gl / glhf tho

Really? Since when do they shut it down for the entire day?

o.o very frustrated, I don't get to play anymore working 60+ hours a week since I grad in Dec. Finally a day off and ITS DOWN THE WHOLE DAY? Just disappoint. Don't know why I try playing this game anymore.

As far as the BM/GM I rarely even type anymore. Just say GG at the end no biggie. I'm over it
