madman 13 -> RE: Stop Saying "gg" (6/25/2011 3:52:02)

Personally I'm, with the "hating GG" group. Maybe its sportsmanship usually, but most of the opponents I fight use it when I'm around half health even if they're on their last legs, simply becuase they are so assured of their victory. a few have said it more than five times in a row because they said it turns early, then I blocked a couple of times and took two or three hits without flinching. "GG" then isn't sportsmanship, its declaring a victory straight away before anything is certain at all. That is just another insult like "noob" Plus it is frequently utterly meaningless because of the acts of the players themselves. The dialogue for a L33 guy I was up against a while ago went like this: me: oh good a worthy opponent him: .... a few rounds later- (I'm now critical due to being hit by a strong crit) him: hah hah Thats right heal nooby. me: you know, statisticly just about everyone at your level uses heals. him: I aint gonna need them. You should just quit now. a few more turns (I'm now at fifty percent health) him: my win I reckon me: not just yet him: Dude your attacks are too weak to do anything. Your just wasting my time and yours. a few rounds later he did in fact win: him: gg noob. (block) him: GG! (block. my attack puts him at 50%) him GG!! succeeds this time. In this case (which I'm aware is pretty extreme) seems to happen a lot. Its more usually milder than this but it does happen. Here GG can not possibly show good sportsmanship because every other comment he made was about how pathetic his opponent (me) was and how this was a waste of time. To be honest I'd even prefer no chat at all than people saying GG at the end of a list of insults and trying to assume that makes everything perfectly justifiable. I never say it because frankly I've seen it overused too much, and mostly under these circumstances. If I think it was a good game, I simply compliment the opponent, who is the guy who made it good in the first place. so yeah I'm against GG
