And if I lose I usually just say "gg" which seems adequate. Sometimes I add a little "  " if I'm feeling super nice. :D | ||

I don't usually add a "wp" or additional comment like the OP (I feel some things like that can be taken offensively - thanks trolls...) | ||

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. so you basically never gg | ||

Maybe its just me but whenever people do stuff like that to me on ladder it just kind of makes me more frustrated. | ||

 I'm like a different person when I'm playing Starcraft heh  Even if it's a straight up macro game and I lose I often don't gg unless I believe he completely outplayed me, and most of the time in that situation I just say wp. Most of the time it's just me being stupid that makes me lose so I just get pissed and don't gg I don't rage as is the common assumption with people who don't gg, I'm just annoyed at myself.It is something I should work on though | ||

I say this because whenever I get cheesed I say "gg wp" and never mean it haha yeah, thought the same. I also go with gg wp on cheese, so fun. Want them to feel sorry for me! I get so happy when someone says "ggwp" it is so nice to hear, hopefully more people will visit your thread and see what can be written. Most of my games ends with "<player> left the game!" or just some excuse why they didn't win. | ||

I think its folly to assume, that gg should not be something that describes the game main when said after it is over. The fact people take gg and put this assumption on it i see as so very silly, simply because this is just how some(and obv i have no way of knowing the %) view it as a sportsmanship and to not put it is bad manner. assuming something and then applying it so general is just not correct which obv not every one agree's on. Also a lot of this reply goes towards the others who replied to my post. taking something as idiom when not every one feels the same way just isn't correct. (sorry for any bad spelling or grammer, my dyselxcia gets the best of me >.< ) | ||

For example: PvZ. It's hard to be good mannered when a zerg go for a 6 pool on tal darim when your probe can't found immediatly the enemy base and run blindy around the map when zerglings are inside your main. after that i think : "ok ,i've lost....but this is not my fault, but randomness." Ok, after 5/6 loses like that i think rage can be justified! or not? :D | ||

Almways begin the game with "hi gl hf" (after making a drone and send my recolter to minerals ans my overlord to scoot :D, i'm not this mannered :p) And i almost always GG at the end unless i'm angry at myself for making some dumb mistake (lie when i forgot to make sporecrawler against an obviously dark templar incoming :D) And i often add a nice word after the GG about what i did wrong or what my opponent did well. | ||

I completely understand what you mean, Iron Duke, but I think GG or good game actually originates from ordinary sports such as football or the like. I've played football for quite a while and no matter if you think the other team played very bad, was very lucky, did not show good sportsmanship or if the game was overall bad, you always shake hands after the game and say good game. This has nothing at all to do with how you actually feel aboutthe game or the other team, it's jst a traditional way to show good sportsmanship and respect for the other team. | ||

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. I respect your opinion, but the ladder is not mindless practice for everyone. A lot of people still thinks the ladder as scary place where you meet actual real opponents, and even though you might not feel this way it might be welcoming for your opponent to recieve some sort of good sportsmaship in the game. All in all, I see no reason to just say gg, when leaving. It basically takes a millisecond and both youand your opponent will feel a little happier afterwards | ||

Much, much respect to the OP - maybe this thread can become the antidote to the horrible "strange/confusing BM" thread. I'll strive to live up to your example. | ||

It's like shaking Hands after a Chess match, doesn't matter if you lost because of dumb mistake or something else, it's just a gesture to your enemy | ||
