I think your good manners are a bit extreme OP :D
A normal gg should be enough, unless your opponent really deserves a wp or did a nice strategy 
And never forget your gl&hf :o |

Awesome idea OP
I always am gm with a "gg" or gg wp", but I like this idea. I think I will do it occasionally when I have something that I can actually complement my opponent on (as opposed to doing it every match like you seem to be doing). |

tbh, I don't see what's good mannered about lying. For example, I'm not gonna put "gg" if I got cannon rushed or 6 pooled because it wasn't a good game. I won't rage or BM unless I start getting bmed, but I don't see the point in saying "gg wp" when it was a terrible game and my opponent certainly didn't play well.
Personally, I would still consider those good games. If I don't scout/counter those builds, it is my own fault for losing. However, if I lose because I make a serious serious mistake (like cancelling the rax on accident right when the lings get there) then I probably wouldn't be able to complement them on anything  . In that instance, I MIGHT not give a gg but likely still will. |

| I always GG, and sometimes I complement them I saw them do something really well.(Like sick micro, or something like that) |

| Not to be too rude because it is nice that you were mannered, but the way your chat comes off is a bit obnoxious. A simple gg would of been better as you can tell from the screenshots none of those games where you lost were well timed or well executed by the other player. Just my opinion though, I would take those comments as more BM then good manner in those situations. Also, if you would like more mannered games try korean server if you can deal with a lot more aggressive styles and ping. |

Fair enough. Keep in mind though I'm only in Diamond league so it isn't like I'm playing super-insanely good people with airtight plays. Also, it is up to me to make sure what I say doesn't come off as BM. I acknowledge that some of these games were phrased poorly and I'll be improving them in the future.
As for playing in Korea, I don't think so. I have enough trouble on NA. >_> |

I also always GG at the end of the game, whether I won or lost. If he gg's before quitting, I try my best to gg back as quickly as possible just to show manners, otherwise I will gg in chat after the game. Even when someone ragequits, I type them a gg after the game. I do not exactly know how they feel about that, maybe they think I am insulting them; but as far as I know it makes them feel bad about themselves since they never respond.
Good manners on the ladder and otherwise should be the norm, and I really do not know why people hate on others and never show respect where it is needed. |

| I try to do this but sometimes it's hard picking out what to compliment when you're focused on your own failures. :-/ |

I think that's half the battle right there. Try not to think about what you did wrong at the end of the game; save it for the replay when you can get a better picture of it. At the end of the game, try to figure out how your opponent outplayed you in any aspect of the game (if you can). Then, once you pick out what your opponent did right, go to the replay and figure out exactly what you did wrong and try to learn how your opponent's strength really contributed to the loss. Finally, see which was more influential to you losing: your mistakes or your opponents strengths. I'm sure some games you made a mistake which you can blame the loss on but, for me at least, I think its more often my opponent's strengths that win him the game more than my faults. |

Maybe, at least 2 of them messaged me afterward with a friendly conversation, though. So you never know |

Good job OP.
I've been doing good lately with always saying glhf and gg'ing out even in the most annoying losses. I think forcing one's self to do this helps with controlling the rage on games lost that (seemingly) shouldn't have been lost.
Haha, I even remember gg'ing on a zvz, even if the guy called me a fag when he saw my defensive banelings morphing. I lost that game to his +1 lings and good micro -- I still typed gg before surrendering.
Anyway, hopefully this culture of good manners do spread in the ladder -- especially coming from the "older" guys like me, to show the kiddies that bm isn't "cool".Last edit: 2011-08-18 02:25:05 |

Do you have any suggestions on how to better express sincerity? |
