    i thought you only say GG when you concede that you lost. then it's ok for the winner to agree and say GG after

    nah i wouldn't call it dickish.
    Though if I'm winning I'll go "GG, WP" where as I'll only say "GG" if i lose... now that i think about it, that might be dickish.

    I don't think so. I think it's polite to wait until your opponent concedes before calling the game. A "well-played" from either player is simply a concession of skill to your opponent.

    I'd love to see someone get overconfident give a gloating GG, only to get completely raped by something he never saw coming.

    But then, I'm easily entertained by stuff like that.

    I was thinking about binding my HQ and or Gateway cluster to mouse buttons. HQ especially because the backspace button is sort of out of reach while playing.

    Any other suggestions about hotkeys?

    Also, what's going on with battle.net?
    First it kicks me down to the 90th place in Bronze league, then a few days ago I had to redo all qualification matches. Now I'm on the number 10 spot in Gold league.

    Pre-emtive gg-ing is considered really bm. I would stop doing it if I were you guys :P

    Unless you want to look like an ass, I guess. I usually do it when playing with friends to upset them.

    So my rankings got wiped today, but no matter, I finished my final exam today and was pumped to play some SC2!

    I managed to roll 5 scrubs in a row and now I am in platinum... I am doomed to lose forever : (

    Also, I started making a conscious effort to at least build a Roach Warren and it helped my game a ton. It's ridiculously cheap, at only 150 minerals and allows you to quickly transition from lings if need be.

    As a rule now, I try to do 3 things every Zerg game I play:
    1) Research Metabolic Boost for Zerglings.
    2) Build a Roach Warren
    3) Build a Spire

    I normally build a Hydralisk Den anyways, because Hydralisks are sweet and I don't need to consciously make an effort to get them.

    Now if only I can stop forgetting to build an Infestation Pit and I will be the master of unit diversity.

    this is not up for contention, in fact I'm pretty sure I remember reading somewhere that its actually written in the rules of the Korean pro scene.

    Anyway whether it is or not its still polite to wait.

    In fact, when I'm playing SC1 and someone says GG against me when they haven't actually won yet and I haven't said GG myself, I make it my mission to make them fight for every last building I have, even to the point of hiding command centers all over the map.
