80% of the voters Cant be ALL wrong can they?

Well, if you all want to be wrong, then go ahead and be wrong, and dont listen to me. I'm not always right, but I am this time.

Well i  say GG ,after the game.
I find it unfitting if the game is still in progress and only one player fell.
GG means the whole game.
If the game was a joke i tend to say nothing especially if i feel there was no real  competiton within the game.Usually there is atleast a minimum feedback i give.
I for example ,would have real trouble saying GG after getting unfairly tractored, plus to peek it, get moved in a rock.,not that that ever happend to me..,but nonetheless.;)
The whole thing is depending a bit on what you consider a GG.
If not that ,i would say Thanks for the game,without label..It depends a bit on your opponent  too ,of course.

I find that patronizing, and belittling to my opponent.

He knows if he had a bad game. I sure as hell don't need to point it out to him.

"GG" has become customary beyond the point of its literal meaning, to the point where not saying it is insulting.

How can "Thanks for the game" be appropriate when by your own standards, there wasn't even a game?

I'll ask again - Who is the judge of whether it is a good game?

Well as i said , if there wasnt even a game i would comment on that eventually.

And  i wight in in my decision if the game was good or not, things like tactics and their merit, effort,.. inspiration, balance and, nominal for all games, the time effort everyone brought along.


Thats where thanks for the  game/time comes in.

Those things  are partialy based on subjective stances of course, and are in general based on your access to the balance concept imo.

And vs Dizzy we should all use Special Thanks From Us For The Match or "STFUFTM", but that might take to long to type with the mission closing, so why don't we shorten it to "STFU"   ;D

For Dizzy it should be "STFU n00b!"

Well, isnt it about whether or not the game was fun? Maybe we could just type in "FG" for Fun Game.  :)

Oh wait... FG could stand for something else too...  :o

Unless the match ends b4 I finish typing "gg" is the what is offered.Be the match was long or short,good or bad,kill or been killed I think it's just polite to acknowledge that it was FUN (even if I or other sucked) and that it is a GAME(something that seems to be forgotten to often).I will usally say gg in general chat after the fact also.

Taking a spin on Tracey's input...

GG == tip of the hat, thanks for the match
VGG == WOW, seeya in 15, I gotta find some muscle relaxants to unclench my jaw... (and figure out how to take it :p ), maybe grow my fingernails back too

Any game I win is a GG, and any game I lose
must have been to a l33t pilot.

So by definition any game where something happens is a GG.

Remember GG, doesn't need to mean you're congratulating the other pilot on flying well
(screw them, they lost)
It can simply be admitting that once again you flew brilliantly.

 I agree with Soth's statement. Atleast you're acknowledging your opponent for his/her time and effort, not to mention just plain old sportsmanship. If anyone finds such an acknowledgement insulting, either way, they should probably just play the solo campaigns. IMHO

After a few hours behind the lines quietly fighting AI, isn't any game with a human opponent a good game?

Typing "GG" is never inappropriate. Even if it was a lousy game.

NOT typing it is just downright rude.


You see? If t00l and I can agree on something, is has to be the right thing to do.

OMG .... he's got a point there Diz.
