The solution to the 'gg' problem

lol not really.

Yes, what they mean is that that fight was good, they didn't mean the game was good (yet). Either way, someone could still find that offensive, since "GG" and "GF" are both saying that it was good. When the person who just died, might not think it was good.

then say nothing.

I say nothing, and so do others. But those who still say "GG" sometimes offends others, that's why darkai202 wants it blocked.

I feel that gg is part of the community, I'd honestly be sad to see it go.

Honestly I think people take it too seriously, and that seeing as it's the Internet and we're all anonymous there's going to be disrespect. Even if you ban the saying of "gg" people will find a way to be disrespectful. Not trying to be insensitive or anything, just some people need to be less sensitive.

I honestly don't see a problem with the term GG or QQ

 

[CommunisticPuppy]

I think if someone had a really good fight against another player and the guy kills him, he can say gg for a good reason. The only thing I just hate is when someone says "gg rekd" or " gg noob", in my opinion thats an insult and should be punished.

I have used the term "GG" for a long time now and I had no idea people took it as an insult. I have always said it as a sign of respect, basically saying that they played a good game and what not. People actually started to dislike me for it and I had no idea I was hurting people. I just don't see why it is considered an insult when the connotation is completely positive.

Maybe I should just start fully typing out "Good Game."

I'm thinking about getting a round table panel discussion going on this topic, which really surprises me in how impactful it is to many. I might pick out a few people from both sides whose posts have been particularly insightful.
Stay tuned.

The problem is that this simple saying is only being used as an excuse. Honestly, if people actually take in what the acronym is, it's simply 'good game'. The community has swayed the meaning into something where people get offended just by one saying it. I say good fight after every fight, no matter if I lose or win, and I say good game, same concept applies.

Why do I do this? Common courtesy. If someone said eZ to me, I would feel maybe a bit offended, but in reality, do I really care about that two man team who just won this game? I'm still having fun.. no matter if I lose or win. I obviously try my best, and when someone say something like 'eZ' or 'rekt' to me, it kind of blows my high... but we're not talking about that... we're talking about a simple saying of GG or GF. Making the acronyms capital does nothing and with professional acronyms, they are usually capitalized and.. lets face it the g's in capitals make them look so much better

I'm not saying everyone complaining about GG is wrong, but simply stated I think they need to realize that it's a game and it's a competitive one at that. Trash talking is apart of video game culture, but obviously we don't go overboard by bringing people's personal flaws into it. This community of MCSG has simply changed the way we think of GG or GF. For example, I play on many other servers where saying GG is a sign of respect. And honestly, that's the way it should be.

The next time you're in a game and you see me saying 'GF' after killing you and 'GG' after winning the game, you can think whatever you want. I'm just trying to communicate and show others how much fun I've had.

When i say gg, i mean Good Game

 

[funnysticker]

I don't get why people get so upset about somebody saying gg. It's a video game for crying out loud.

Bro.. you dont live in Australia. the majority of AU have over 250+ wins (except the noobs that come from US <3) Its hard to win on AU and when you get double teamed or get someone to like 2 hearts then they say "GG" "rekt" "10 hearts" "get better nub"..its really not a GG, like seriously for all those people out there who say Good Game only mean it for hateful reasons. Close your mouth before someone "GG's" you. -Caleb

It doesn't matter where you live. It's still a game, and people are just saying Good game.
