But a few months ago, I switched to random and have found a new level of manner. At first, when I lost with terran (my old main), I would get mad and gg and quit. When I lost with zerg or protoss, I would stay in the game and talk to my opponent. I would ask them what I should have done, other than just improve my macro. It's amazing how many people will give you detailed strategies on how to beat them. It makes sense though; you already know you've won and the dick won't leave the game, and now hes asking you what beats you. You know what beats you and you just smashed this kid, might as well tell him. Because of this I now no longer get angry when I lose with any race. I just get curious and ask my opponent what beats them. Maybe its bad manner to stay in the game after a definite loss, but why not take advantage of the moment? And like I said, most people are more than willing to spill their guts on what beats them. If they are not talkative and are focused on killing all my building, I leave. That being said, I'd like to compliment anyone who stays in the game after a win and will discuss strategy with your defeated opponent. Anyway, give it a try next time, you'll be surprised. Actually listen to them, and you'll be much, much more surprised. By the way, when I made the switch I was gold. I got into platinum within a month. That's still like the most annoying thing to me. I'm always so paranoid of "he might be hiding his base somewhere", so I just hunt those people that want to talk at the end of the game even harder and /w after the game. I never really understand why people BM when they loose. It's so... pointless. I mean loosing is always frustrating, but why take it out on someone else, rather just improve yourself. Only time I don't gg is when someone offensively gg's(and that's time for liftoff into every corner) or bms me in other way(okay and that one time I forgot to gg, still remember it though it's been half a year  ). Throw in wp when I feel i just got clearly outclassed or if the opponent did something cute. | ||

I never "glhf" and "gg". If people "glhf" me, I do it back in an attempt to throw his guard off into believing that because of my formalities, I won't be early super aggressive or all-in. When I do lose, I leave the game with no gg and if I start typing smack, deal with it - it's part of the game. I already lost - what more do you want? Want some fries with that? How about a blowjob, sir? | ||

Its either just an automatic response, or they're in denial that they played awful too. lol sorry to grinch up the thread no sorries lol. i would agree. think its awesome that the OP is trying to add some class to the ladde but there's really no reason to say anything other than gg when your opponent either did something cheesy or wonky or just plain average. i feel bad for the poor sap who beats you accidentally with something awful and then says to himself "ooooh wp, i'm so good, i should keep doing this awful awful build." | ||

Once I type GG it gives me closure and I no longer need to think about that game. This is so true. Though sometimes when I'm in this beatiful row where you loose to stupid shit 5+ times in a row it becomes really hard to do. | ||

I'm in mid masters and people are often BM to me. I have a feeling that they think they're the shit cause of being in masters when it dosn't mean crap, people in masters are awful too and deserve the losses they receive cause their timings are absolute garbage compared to real pro players. They complain about balance/whatever when they don't realise that's not really relevant at all to how they lost the game. Why do you think pro players realise when they are getting outplayed and say openly in interviews that they couldn't do anything, their opponent was too good. They don't strut around thinking they're the shit and badmouth every player that beats them. Feels funny to say this cause it should be so obvious to everyone. | ||

I guess it makes sense, it is easier to yell and blame someone for beating you than it is to accept that they played better. So, in an effort to make the ladder a better place, I've decided to end every game I lose with some good manner for my opponent. Thus far, I have 6 instances of good manner: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/V5GMx.png) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Xnngb.png) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/s6lJC.png) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/F6WcU.png) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/rcij2.png) + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/QcHXy.png) Replays: http://www.mediafire.com/?drqka1kc3volxt1 Furthermore, I've found myself much more willing to go back and see how I lost after complementing my opponent on a job well done. That might just be a coincidence (or maybe I'm weird). NOTE: Some players may become confused and frightened at the sight of such a rare occurrence of good manner. If they do begin to lash out, calmly explain to them that you meant your complements and that you most definitely aren't trolling. :D i really dont like people like you jsut because someone is bad mannered doesnt mean there a terrible person that has no feelings and feels there great and the only reason they lsot is cause of some fluke alot of the time people are bad mannered on ladder because there opponent deserves it by all-innning and doing stupid cheese like blocking the ramp with pylons and stuff like that | ||

In my opinion cheeses are valid strategies, pylonblocking not maybe but all-ins aren't bad. They are pretty strong and should always be considered. | ||

Zerg for example would be able to take 5 bases against a ffe protoss and drone up to 95 and get broods by the 14 min mark. I agree that all-ins are not the most exciting thing but it keeps players from being overly greedy. | ||

I agree that all-ins are not the most exciting thing but it keeps players from being overly greedy. theres nothing stopping you from just doing some safe pressure like hellion expand or 2 base 4 gate or void ray agression or something that doesnt mean you ahve to leave if they defend executing the all-in, however, can be quite fun. so we seem to have a contradiction here, for one person to have fun it means his opponent can't? i dont believe that someone who palys the game can only ahve fun by doing all-ins, but if they purposely choose a strat in order to remove my fun then i will let them know how i feel about, if someone is rude then im going to be rude back | ||

Do you think, even mannered people, care about your feelings while they are trying to climb to diamond, masters, grandmasters or whatever league? Sir, I am not playing this game so YOU could have fun, I am playing it so I can have fun and if I think all-inns are way to victory or if I think I'll have fun if I try some cheese from time to time, deal with it. On the topic, I never rage/flame etc my opponents nor I answer to any rage/flame myself but in same fashion I don't write those "gglhf" thingies, I just don't feel I have to behave by some code every damn game. If someone "gl hf" me I usually answer with "ty u2" and that's it. On April 05 2012 02:08 ImGonnaRideYou wrote: To me, ladder Starcraft is like street ball.

I'm almost positive (but have zero quantitative data) that bronze and masters is chock full of BM, silver and diamond are a little better, and platinum/gold/GM are relatively calm. | ||
