This made my day. I'm approaching ladder with a really bad attitude (and I'm gonna work to fix that). Although I always GG, I am always fuming after a loss - I will try to complement my opponents more often and that will probably help me look over replays without being so angry.

What a fantastic post. This made my day. Thank you!

Maybe they think they can get some sort of advantage out of making their opponent angry?

Personally I think trying to type and play hurts me more than any advantage I could get from an angry opponent. I actually kind of like it when people hurl insults at me, it doesn't bother me and chances are they are going to miss a supply depo or something because of it Often I will even egg them on by typing "lol", or something similar, minimum effort on my part and they keep typing and hopefully playing worse for it.

I never GG and always BM.

You need people like me. You need people like me so you can point your fuckin' fingers and say, "That's the bad guy." So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie. Me, I don't have that problem. Me, I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.

If my opponent complimented me i would be pissed...
The biggest satisfaction on the ladder is your opponent BMing and screaming imba.

I always say gg but when the opponent really outclassed me (it happens like 1 out of 30 games on ladder) I add the "wp"

I can't do this good manner thing when I gg because I don't lose, thus never gg.

Does that mean I have no skill? I have never lost, thus no gg. no gg = no skill, so me = no skill? hmm.

gg

You know, I was half expecting the last screen to be you just completely losing it

You could always be a gentleman and offensive gg them. "You may not have succeeded, but your strategy was most definitely of the highest accord! Huzzah!"

Same here (at least 95% of the time, if it is some some ridiculous cheese, I may RQ once in a while)
+1 respect to OP, keep at it

It's very important to gg the cheese, you can't give them the satisfaction of having you ragequit as well.

I see near the start of the thread people saying how players done gg much anymore. I see that as a good thing a gg means good game it should be said after a good game not after a bad one, if you think it was bad then dont gg, just leave or what ever you feel like doing.

For the good manner part, i see it to be good and bad , its nice to see good manner even against annoying play, shows matureness and many other things. But also i think bad mannering people mite be what can slowly getting them out of bring all the scv's to your base before the 5 min mark and get them to play more of a game then just a rush.

But lets also be honest the moment some one all in's you, you see it coming hold it of and you no you have one, just gloating a little bit to them does make you feel a little epic inside :D :D
