Now thats more like it!

Thats totally unique, and if you said that to me in a game - I'd take it as an insult and give you negative feedback within a couple of hours!

way to go FP!

i may send out too many, but for the new players who have no idea what just hit them, a kind word cant hurt...telling someone on his tenth game that he has no idea what hes doing is just pointless...better to tell him that he played well and was hard to kill and he may be someday...rather than just quit...too much positive is never enough...and when we beat you in our doubles games i expect a big GG from you amp and kyle...

Pooling for opinions here...

I agree. I do that as well. (when i think of it)

I thought Xi members had a code of conduct, that includes being honorable in games and chat? Greatwhite should know that, being one of the first members.

Did you not forget, they also has a rule that says, "we dont make alliances so let's harass everyone who does"?

If you have issues with the way someone has behaved perhaps some modification would be appropriate. i.e. gg asswipe...lol

I go the personal touch. Not only do I say GG I add their Name. And if I see myself eliminated in a game I also commend the player with a GG.

Instead of lording it over them and being An ass, I find being courteous and respectful matches My personal play.

sometimes it is said in a kind gesture and other times it is said to rub it in, and at times, they really did play a good game

i always say gg(and name) to the player that took me out or i had taken out. common curtesy. at the start i always say "gla enjoy", if it is one on one then it is eg"gl Norse".

I try to be nice. I say good luck all at the start, and always say gg whoever when I take somebody out. I leave feedback to those who deserve it, and yes, as an XI games member....I do not make alliances.....and quite enjoy ripping hunks off those that do...

I especially enjoy pointing it out when an alliance leads to trouble for one of the participants.

I say GG so i don't get a bad rating

I guess it works. I havn't got a bad rating yet.

i always say gg...but if it was a vgg or an epic battle i always add that in.... if the team did really well even though the dice porked us...i tell them gg way2 go nice job blah blah blah........i always say gg....it's the nice thing to do....i like it when people say gg to me even though i sucked the whole game! lol
unless of course they missed 100 turns and pissed me off i tend to shy away from the gg i guess i should say too .....

If the game was not exceptionally challenging, I will simply say "thanks for the game"

I always say: "IGNORE LIST AND NEG FEEDBACK!" when I lose. GG is so overused.
