To GG or not to GG? That is the question.

--- Quote from: HamsterIV on March 04, 2015, 01:14:42 pm ---I put "gg" into global automatically at the end of the match. Is is a show of respect for your opponents regardless of if you won or not. Even if the game was a lopsided stomp or an overlong slog due to incompetent piloting I don't see the point of putting anything negative in global clat.

Crew or team chat, on the other hand, I will use to rail upon my ally's deficiencies and explain what they did to cause us to loose.

GG isn't a show for respect to me and many other people whom I speak to - mostly because up until recently I had always seen it used for legitimately good games - but I understand that it's meaning might be different to other players (because of dota or starcraft i guess).

I couldn't care less if spouting "triple legged constipated avocados" at the end of each match became a sign of respect towards other people and I would definitely have no quarell about anyone saying it.

It only becomes a problem when suddently I'm supposed to say it, or else I'm considered impolite.

Lanliss:
This sounds a lot like the discussion on commendations in another thread. It is talked there about how, at this point, it seems impolite to not give a commendation. When I feel someone does not deserve a gg, I say "gg, everyone but X". If someone really went so far that they do not deserve a gg, they deserve to be singled out. Preferably with copious amounts of ridicule. >:D

Replaceable:
sorry for the misbalance
sorry for the ragequitters
gg

Good game, Well Played (When the game was so good and so well played that they deserve the full statement.)

What I say at the end of games.

And prior to this:

Happy Birthday!~

Steve CZ:
I noticed most people write it automatically no matter how terrible the match turned out (for example half of one team ragequit), therefore I think it lost any meaning and I ignore it completely. If someone is judging me for not writing it, then... well... who cares.

It's similar when the person at the cinema who checks tickets tells you "Enjoy the movie" and you know he's doing it just because it's in the job description.

Honestly, if the game was something really enjoyable or special, it deserves more than joining the gg crowd in the chat.

Kamoba:
I often have a habit of saying GG.

If it was a very very intense match, normally I say nothing regardless of win or loss simply because my brain starts replaying important parts of the match and I forget to type...

If it was a good balanced match and I came out on top, I tend to say "Nothing without my crew <3" because pilots and captains very often forget, without a good crew, they'd get nowhere outside of public matches.

If it was a good balanced match and I lost, sometimes habit says GG, other times I say "Very well played!"

and same as repleaceable, sorry for the unbalanced match (even if they refused offers to help balance the match.) and sorry for the rage quitters.
