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

Ceres said nothing wrong, I think. As he said, in starcraft saying gg when you see you can't win anymore means surrendering the game. Although I think "game gone" explanation is wrong, it's just saying gg like "It was a good fight, you won, I cannot fight you anymore and we can just spare those extra 5-10-whatever minutes of you destroying every my building". I think gg as, say, "good day" can be said (written) both seriously and sarcastically, that's why you see sth like "Oh, lvl1 gunner joined our ship and took the helm. GG.".
About gg-ing itself - after many sales I find less and less patience and (sadly) less and less respect for the new players, so most of the time I don't gg because it wasn't a good game for me (duh!). GGing can be treated as common courtesy like saying hi to your crew, or something more meaningless. Same goes with giving recommendation, adding to friend list, clan recrutation patterns etc.
Also I think goio is a bit more complicated regarding gg issue than Starcraft. In Starcraft most games are 1v1 so it's really battle between you and your oponent and nobody can "break" your game, like a bad ally or crewmember in goio. We all know the pain. That's why never gg when bad ally (regardless whether on my or enemy team) acts stupid or leaves after first death. That's why blocks and reports are so important and that's why votekick or something similar is a must (but that's a different story).

Oh I'm not saying it's all his fault, just that based on the points he made earlier in the thread that he is assuming a lot of negativity off of other players and I believe this assumption leads to an overall less positive attitude.
Yes people say GG before match end to admit defeat and say it sarcastically too, but not everyone says it spitefully, as Patched Wizard and Blackened Pies have already covered the subject of manners and etiquette, I wont spend ages reiterating, I'll just point out that at times when a gentlemen admits defeat early in the battle, he is still showing courtesy, not everyone spits the words out with a growl and swears. :)
