I almost always tried to be manner on ladder whatever happens during the game (be it a 6 pool or a cannon rush). I find it helps me to stay calm, feel in control of myself and the game, and just have fun playing SC2. I usually initiate a mini-chat outside the usual "glhf" as well at the start by saying "hi" asking how they are are or how their laddering is going etc and then wishing them good luck etc. I hear a lot about BM but I rarely run into it - I don't really count quitting a game without a gg as BM.

The only 2 clear cut cases of BM I can recall have been, strangely enough, from fellow Protoss. One abused me for 4 gating him (when I saw his cyber was considerably delayed) and another called me a cheeser for making too many sentries, which meant that his chargelot focussed build was rendered null and void due to lots of FF. Go figure...

Anyway, good manner helps, IMO, in making the game more fun for both you and your opponent.

I don't really care if someone BM's me on ladder. There are only 2 things I get really pissed about: Losses and UNPAUSING THE GAME WHILE I'M AWAY. I'd vote for deathpenalty for such a crime.

how the hell do you say GG to a cannon rusher D:
this is insanity, I am being extremely GM when I just leave the game without any BM to him

That is just one of the many reasons it is popular to BM on ladder.

i'm so used to players using good manners as a form of passive aggression. usually its like a gg wp after a 111 or successful bunker rush.

I find people who think that "gg" should be some sort of statement of the quality of the game to be hilarious.

In every sport after the game you shake hands and say "good game", regardless of the subjective quality of that game. 12 year old little league baseball players are reprimanded for being "childish" for refusing to do it, and for some reason we're okay with it. It's strange to me.

If I may brag about what a manner-bear I am:
Once upon a time, I was laddering and having a pretty decent night. All of a sudden, a wild Zerg player appeared. As soon as I typed "gl hf", he told me about how he was having such rough night and how he had been cheesed several times in a row. I pylon blocked his natural, and he expanded to his 3rd. Without any units to dissuade me, I decided to take a little gamble and try to cannon block his ramp. He saw it a little to late and lost almost everything trying to break my cannons. I proceed to easily win, and when I clean up his army and am ahead in upgrades, bases, workers, everything, he begins to whine about what a bad night he's had. So I left. Hopefully the ladder points were enough to soak up his little Zergy tears
I love the smell of napalm in the morning... it smells like... victory. -_^ Favorite SC2 match ->Liquid`HerO vs. SlayerS CranK g.1 @MLG Summer Championship

Yup. To me it's the bow you do before and after in karate. gl hf, gg. not hard, not hard at all.

I play both on NA and EU and maybe it was bad luck but on EU while most often they don't say gg and just leave sometimes with a lil' line of bm, on NA they pm you after to insult you u_u

I think it's because a terran mech army can feel invincible from a zerg point of view. Often you can't beat it straight up. You need huge masses of units, extremely good micro/infestor play or constant harassment and counter attacks to wear them down indirectly. For the "masses" strategy you need superior macro, the other strategies require creativity, skill and smarts. In a mental state of tunnel vision resulting from being pissed off after a couple of losses the latter qualities are often lacking. And if you just a-move everything towards the opponent's army and everything seems to evaporate, it's frustrating and feels unfair. (Personally, I don't bm, but I know the frustration.)

To the OP: Very good initiative, it's needed.

I have don that before, if they use a new timing attack (or atleast one I haven't seen before), if they beat me with carriers (have to love them for using carriers :D) or if it was an insane game, that was very well played by both of us (intense game going all the way to late game, with attacking and defending all the time)^^

Depends. If you did nothing wrong it's just hilarious. I love when ppl bm me on the ladder desperatly trying to find something wrong with my superiority ^^ My personal favorite is when your team of gold 1v1 scrubs beats a team of diamond 1v1 players. Then they call you gold noob even if you master league in XvX ^^ Add to that the fact that they got beaten by gold noobs. It's just so illogical it totally cracks me up =) I also love when they challenge you to a 1v1 as if that would prove how good you are in team play or erase the defeat from reality...

I almost never gg btw. It's my personal oppinion that automated responses mean nothing. It's like a sign that says welcome or a corporate answering machine saying your call is really important to us. You really expect me to feel welcome? When you can't even be bothered to say it. To feel important? When you won't even pick up the phone. So saying gg every game is exactly the same as just quiting.

However if someone plays a good game I will give them a personalized moral booster pertaining to the game in question. Which people really appreciate judging from the replies I get...

Ps. I hate ppl who bm and then ignores you. The weakest minded fukin cowards on the internet...
