No, it doesn't. GG is a sign of sportsmanship, not a declaration of your opinion of how the game went.

It can be sportsmanship or good game. I know I sometimes compliment my opponent if I lose some games. It's just honesty. I've had people compliment me sometimes. It goes both ways.
I prefer my opponent to BM though because I feel like I won the internet and ruined someone's day.

most you should say is GG WP ^^ what you write sounds sarcastic so perhaps you will recive flame xD
|
If i loose i say GG, if i was impressed by his tactics/strategy I add on a WP or make a comment about it. Its really not to hard people.
|
I find it really important to always be mannered, no matter the occasion. Hell, I even 'gg wp' cannon rushes. So I really support what youre doing here.
|
If I lose the other player just played better and therefore deserves a GG, even if I played utterly terrible. Always GG people 
|
I just won a PvP (in high Gold league  ) and my opponent said "gg nice 4gate". I didn't know whether it was actually a compliment or if he was angry or what. Good intentions but sometimes hard to get through text.

no...GG stands for good game...google it...i am sure it will come up, and guess what those words should mean what they say..if not its just silly
good sportsmanship it saying hf gl, anything past that is not needed, thats just a fact.
Its just silly to think some one should say good game if you they got rushed, they are annoyed about it and didnt have any fun and feel it just wasnt good. If you go in to a game hoping for a nice maco game and you get it then its good, if you want a 2 bases scrap and you get its good, if you dont get what you want then to you its not good so no need to say good game.

i usually gg and i am mannerd but some stuff like cheese flying your building to a island etc does help me gg you.
|
Good job being really mannered on ladder. Usually when I win a game my opponent proceeds to say something along the lines of "learn to play noob" lol. I try to say gg after every game that I lose, but sometimes I just quit out of frustration.
|
I always used to say "gg wp" and then ask how would I counter my opponents build and say thank you, is that counted as good manner?

Yes, technically the "gg" stands for "good game" but the sentiment isn't descriptive by any means, and to think so is just foolish

I always say 'gg' when beaten these days and I always 'glgl' at the start of games. I feel it does help calm the rage that can sometimes emerge when you lose, especially to stupid shit. Reading posts about people's opinions on cheese I find that people are so conceited and vain when it comes towards this kind stuff. Assuming perfect balance, if you lose to something, even if they are 'terrible', they still played better than you (regardless of whether they won because you played poorly). Often I get most annoyed when I make a mistake myself, but I find its much more constructive to direct this annoyance/anger towards myself, so that instead of blaming them I blame myself in hope that I won't make the same misake again.
I can actually remember a game a few days ago where I had a decent conversation with a bloke who was cannon rushing me (I would have beaten it except I got over confidend and cancelled my defensive forge after I thought I had held it). Tbh it annoys me more when somebody doesn't reply to my 'glgl' than when we have a friendly chat and they end up cheesing me.
Thats assuming perfect balance...Don't get me started on the 1-1-1 though...

I never leave a game without saying gg.
I salute you.

I always say gg♥ when I lose a game. There's no confusion as to how I feel with the heart there.

gg in longform is good game. But it's not used to describe how the game went in most cases but a showcase of sportsmanship. You're being very closed minded if you think 'good game' is the only meaning to gg.

Oh Rage. How ironic your name is in this context. Love the idea and I'll certainly join in (when I actually get to play again TT). I do think it's fair to say that for best results, wording is extremely important since it's very easy to interpret "nice banshee harass " to be sarcastic. >.<
This is such a small thing, but I love the idea of making the ladder a more friendly place from the ground up. [note: I don't necessarily mean more n00b friendly or easier, just a place where you can have a good game and be respectful rather than lash out at your opponent with the rage of the seven seas]
And to the GG discussion going on right now:
Personally, I always GG but I do it because I know I lost. It's one of the things I love about Starcraft: when I lose, I made the mistake. There was no ref making a bad call or a teammate who screwed up, it was me. So while GG has a literal meaning, the conotation I associate with gg is: Congratulations, you beat me. I concede. (and it generally means well played as well; because regardless of the mistakes, they were able to beat me, so they played better than I did).
Regardless of whether you gg or not though, I don't think it hurts anybody to have a little more respect and a little less rage on the ladder; which is what Rage's post is about.

I don't really see much point in going through all the motions on ladder. In a tournament game it's good to have some respect for your opponent and the tournament, especially if it's offline, but ladder is basically just mindless practice.
Most games that I play go from start to finish with nothing said at all, and it's kind of nice. The only time I ever bother saying something is if they use some really interesting build or timing, I'll ask them what they did and maybe some advice on stopping it. I gladly help someone else out if they have a question for me too.
Complimenting your opponent and being excessively manner is nice, but it's only ladder.

Sure, it's certainly not a requirement that we all need to be manner but it doesn't seem like a bad thing to have a couple more people compliment you on your play when you win, as opposed to threaten your life and the health of your dog.

nice to see some examples for good manner its a rare thing these days :D:D
