To GG, or not to GG??

I've always used "gg" after team matches, win or lose (well, it depends how badly we lost -- if we knew we could have beaten our opponents but didn't for what ever reason, we wouldn't bother). I've also sometimes jumped the gun while leading by a considerable margin and said "gg" with about 5 seconds of a match left.

On public servers, if some guy killed me and said "gg" in a really cocky way or something, I would say it back in a kind of "that's right, mate, you're not better than me" way after I get him back.

It's amazing how one can read so much into two characters..

Open to less interpretation methinks.

Hehe, it's random John Poole, he used to be in cardiacs (your new favourite band). He's not all there but he can play guitar like nobody's business.

Start at about 3:13, stand back and watch him go XD - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqAJcBh3sEQ

as lag always messes you up on that game....

I swear if I hear another "online SFIV play is crap"-type comment or see another "See I can do combos and pull off moves properly in SFIV if it werent for lag"-type videos from you or Kreeeee, I think Im gonna puke :cool:

But OT... for example I played e36 the other day and I genuinely said to him "Im not going to say gg to you cause you had better days."
Nothing offensive meant by it, was just the honest truth.

If i have enjoyed the game then I will give a GG.

Most of the time if I have had a good session on L4D or something then I will post a GG before logging out.

Depends a lot on culture I think.

For US players, saying GG seems to be expected. If you don't say it, people often think you are being rude, at least that's my experience.

Generally speaking I never say GG unless I think it was genuinely a great, close fought game, or use it ironically following a 300-0 blowout, or during the game after a complete ****-up on the part of myself or a teammate (e.g. quadbore)
