Don't say gg it's fucking insulting and makes your opponent look like a bitch. Of course he's going to drag the game out just to piss you off, because you deserve it.

blacklisted

Gg has a good meaning. But as well as "you are the best" after a game where your opponent didn't play well, it's inappropriate in some situations. For example when your opponent didn't surrender yet. I usually tell the guys that it was rude and explain why. When they don't excuse they meant it that way so they deserve my blacklist.

I have no problem with smeone saying GG before the end. I doesnt matter if they think they won or not, the outcome is still determined by the skill. So guys dont outrage please.

Before the game is over, GG is impolite because it presumes the game is over before it's actually over. It generally strikes me as impatient (and sometimes gloaty).

I have absolutely no problem with "GG?" before the game is over.

not to mention sometimes people think they are in a winning position while it is not that clear, i've came back and win games where my opponent tried to get me to surrender with a ridiculous gg in the chat. I'd rather take 2-3 more turns to see if i really lost the game rather than surrender too early. Personnally i don't take too much offence at the early "gg", but it does give me incentive to continue the game even more, to see if i can stick it to the guy and get a sweet revenge for that mildly insulting "gg".

I say gg to a player who has no chance of winning. You find it insulting that I do this? I find it infuriating that some random schmuck won't surrender and instead waste my time on a match both of us know I have already won.

But in that situation you're saying gg to the non-surrender precisely because it's insulting.

Saying gg to me before I have declared that the other player has won or that I'm surrendering soon is enough usually to make me drag a game out on purpose (assuming I'm at my computer anyway) which in a way is exactly what you're doing but in reverse ;)

I have sometimes wanted to say to my opponent gg to denote in a tight and exciting game that it is indeed a good game, no matter the end result. I think however this is usually mis-interpreted and I most likely require a different way to express that in short hand.

People don't say gg to me before I surrender. They say gg to me when they surrender, because I don't lose.

On games with fog it's (usually) impossible to know just how much of an advantage one player has over the other. Saying "gg" before it's clear cut implies that you've made the assumption you've already won, and are prodding the other to give up. This inspires defiance in the other player and will have the reverse effect of making them less likely to surrender.

True, it's annoying when someone has clearly lost and continues playing, but it's not that big of a deal. If you can't be bothered to take some quick turns in a game you have in the bag, well, frankly that's your problem.

OR you are saying gg because you are about to surrender but want to try a little longer.

Also: it's only insulting to say "GG" if you're predicting they'll come anything but 1st in CL7 :D

Write "Good game" instead.

Well, that really doesn't matter when they will never surrender in the first place.

Bro, if you can't be bothered to click on a nice little button titled "Surrender" when you know I have a game in the bag, then you are turning your problem into my problem, and that's irking.

This guy said gg to me before we even started... Then I asked gg? and he went crazy at me aha

Salty much, Ryiro? Lol

I usually wait until the other player says gg if they appear to be at a disadvantage, I usually assume they will carry on until they are eliminated at that point except on very big maps, where I usually expect them to surrender.

Yes I do, I blacklisted them.

Example. I was about to commit and they booted when I said wait and I had let me play beyond the boot time, so he wasn't even a fast player.

asshole says gg after booting me on as soon as the timer goes red.

Seriously Nogals? -_- "French piece of shit"

I'm sure many people will feel sympathy for you.

Ahahaha just sounds like he's a sore loser... I don't care when people say "GG". It's usually meant as a compliment and I fight to the end regardless.
