GG means good game right? So technically, you could say it any time you wanted to, if it's a good game. And don't most people say it at the beginning of a game too? If they said it there, and if gg implies the game is over, then something is wrong.

saying gg then winning = instaban for life

but really, all he did was be bad manner. he could have honestly thought he had no chance. he DID win, but either used an underhanded tactic or just underestimated himself

Maybe Zerg just was saying "gg" to terran because he thought that he had won =P.

Second game - gg.

Third game - FUUUUUUUUUXKKKKKKKKKKK

I have played SOOO many games where my opponent keeps saying "GG" but yet keeps fighting and it pisses me off to no end. I get a good attack going and they say "GG" like the game is over and they start talking but then maybe i flub a part of the attack and then it's not "GG" No more. They instead keep fighting and hope that through my flubbed attack they may have a prayer in a counter. I have no memory of such a loss but I am sure something like that has happened to me before. When you say "GG" then I feel it means that you concede. I NEVER ever say "GG" and keep playing because by the time I DO say "GG" I am completely dead and I leave the game probably within seconds of uttering the "GG".
#10 BLeH[91653]
sttldslgw9poolB93.sttl.uswest.net
Also another point is that what can be related to this incidence is also people who are equally if not MORE annoying. The motherfuckers who fucking CONCEDE WAY TOO EARLY! You know what im talking about....people who leave games over a small or minor setback. I think you all know what Im talking about....most all the people I know who say "GG" but keep playing are the exact types of people who have a minor setback and already call the game over.

GG means you give up asdf!

I don't know how many times the same thing happens to me.. for example, pvt on temple, terran is contained, has like no minerals left to mine, and can't leave his base, so says gg. Me in my naivete thinks this means he's ready to roll over and attack him with everything. 15 seconds and 156 supply worth of goon soup later, his practically unharmed 30 tanks are unseiging and taking out all my bases while his scvs and floating cc are already en route to an empty base.

ASDFUUUUUU ppl who say gg as a trick to win a game you lost >.<

not that that's what zerg did but still, in my books ter won that game.





#12 TerranTurtle[91664]
modem-238.walden.ny.fcc.net
I think the terran should have left the game as soon as the zerg said "gg" and not even have given him a chance to pull that sneaky guardian thing. :)
#13 Carni[91665]
cf3k-4.lqy.tsnz.net
Grrr... said GG in the early rounds of a tourney, then went on to get 2 lurks and kill the terran while the terran watched the game next to him. But grr is reknowned for bm

Yea, that was a good br.. but also gay for me lol.

I was a bit confused about him saying gg.. then still attacking me. That was pretty gay. In my 1 month of playing, and reading brs and talking to nh, i think gg means game over, good game. But.. oh well, it really was a gg...

Nice Ling



#16 outsider[91679]
AC931538.ipt.aol.com
good good report too bad about the ss for second game tho..

and no, i dont really think gg means that you should leave right there and then...if i were the terran and he said gg, but didnt leave id still be macroing outta my 6 rax...and how the fuck did his pimp squad that killed the zerg not save his ass? just wondering thx..

#17 Ling-erie[91687]
dialup.212-140-70-192.tesco.net
WOW, loadsa posts and loadsa fair comments EXCEPT that of TerranTurtle because if you leave when your opponent says gg then they get the win (and if you don't care about getting a win then there would be no issue anyway)

BTW would random_digit and Strider_28 want to do a re-match? Both were very competant players and would own me, so i'd LOVE to report on another game

thanx all, keep 'em coming

#18 Strider_28[91701]
user___4.nf.sympatico.ca

Ha, I hope you are intentionally saying those to make people laugh.
1. Zeals are small, but occupy same spacing as Goliaths in dropships.
2. Reaver does not have an armor
3. Whoever you are you were not correct this time, and thus you are not sexy

c'mon ppl. it is easy to see that both sides have a point
(i hate being a mediator). But I personally believe that it is game over if gg is said. I mean, a "gg" is usually said in the beginning for hoping for a gg. in mid-game, its usually because of an attack being repulsed, but barely, meaning that almost all of your buildings would be destroyed. At end-game, its usually because there is an attack that there would no way in hell be repulsed, so you say "gg" for politeness, or if it happened to be a gg.

Basically, "gg" is a term used for good manner, not bad, like what random did. that was kinda bad manner. but i can relate when he says that he thought his attack would have been repulsed. Most ppl use this term to say , "i lose, but i enjoyed playing with you, good game". That is what I think the term is for.

KILL THE UMPIRE!,
SQUAD

PS
I enjoyed this BR. GW. No pics=no thx =(. too bad. I give this report a... (drum roll (not like my opinion means anything)) 7.5. Hope thats a good rating for this report.
#22 Strider_28[91708]
user___4.nf.sympatico.ca
well When I attacked terrran main ( about 2 mins after I said gg) all I had was 3 hatcheries and 4 drones and like 38 minerals. I truly felt like I had been beaten but he just left his troops in my x-main and didn't even scout for expansion. so I just threw what I had at him in a last ditch effort and i pulled it off. RANDOM good game man lets not be dumbasses about it and I can't wait for a re.

Thanx for all the points again. Sorry about the vulture thing, but it was a joke, and yes they do own peons, but it was supposed to be funny..... ah well. This was really an enjoyable matchup and i'm glad you all enjoyed it, once again, thanx for reading and commenting

I8AKorean4Lunch, if you know koreans who say gg in mid-game, then you know some fucking stupid/bad manner koreans.
#25 (v)etal[91726]
pm2ts1-dynip204.remote.seascape.com
GG=good game and I think that Strider thought that it had been a good game and therefore let digit know......on the other hand Strider more than likely thought he had lost so as a last ditch effort sent evrything he had at him.....if digit hadn't of been stupid he could of stoped it......so the lesson learned here is for the love of good don't stop playing after a gg is givin

hehe this comment section will be a debate about the gg issue and not saying anything about the br ;]. oh well, i thought it was another great BR. easy 7, i didnt read it all cuz i'm just one of those guys who look at the pretty pics :P but nice BR yet again. (btw u said u deleted all the pics in the beggining so there was gunna be no pics, but still there were alot of pics in the BR. mayb i'M really tired or something and made up something in my mind).

nice report. 7.

Great report.

I can only think of one thing that hasn't been brought up yet with regards to the "gg" thing. Especially when you're playing amoung friends, it seems like it's kind of inconsiderate to continue to completely raze someone's base. Especially since you usually want to talk about the game afterwards, share vision, etc.
#28 dudikus[91795]
171.68.231.181
Actually, that was good manner. He was warning the terran of danger approaching (gg = got guardians). :-)
#29 Dampiere[91797]

its tempting to stop fighting and coast when you think your opponent is beaten. Dont! always spend your money! heartcutter says "always keep your account as close to zero as possible except when you need 400 minerals for an expansion. good game both and i look forward to BRed rematch. for this reason, i dont blame the zerg for his attack, it should have been easily repulsed.

Saying "gg" like thatw as a bit underhanded. Personally, if ur gonna say that, then the game is over. Now, if ur opp continues attacking after they say "gg", I say SLAUGHTER them!!, and when they get pissed off and leave after calling u a "dumb fuckin whore", or somethin like that, u should relax in knowing that u kicked their butt. Although, I DO have to admit that this IS a very interesting and underhanded trick.. kinda mischeivous.. >:). well, that's my two cents worth, hope ya'll feel the same way...



P.S. As a general rule, if they say "gg", and then attack, then KILL them with no remorse. If, they say "gg" and leave, then they really lost... Thx for listenin.. and LONG LIVE THE SC LEGACY!!!!!!!!!

Well, I think that it is a game of war, and as such all goes. But, it's also just a game. That makes it a very tough call, and I thinks it boils down to personal preferance. I tend towards letting the Terran player accept his defeat, he was folish enough to think he had won. I think the Zerg player didn't mean to throw him of, I think he himself though it was over. This is pure speculation, but either way, I feel it goes. The Terran player lost because he stopped advancing up the tech tree, and didn't continue building units. But thats just my humble opinion.

Gotta give my 2 cents.
For Strider_28 it was (though I dont believe it was on purpose) bad manner. Many people say GG if they think they will own you with the next attack. Newbies that is.

Manner owns all.

=)

Normally I would say GG if I know I lost it AND if it was a fair, good game (as the name says).
I wouldnt say GG, if I fall to a newbie 4-pool =p
Anyways, nice BR, though I hate BR's on LT (Booooooooooooring)
