Why are people such jerks? https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=2928.msg24595#msg24595

Okay, in my last game I played, I was clearly defeated and I sent him a message "gg".
And, he didn't respond, after 30 seconds, he kills me.
He had plenty of time to type "gg" or "ty" in the box, then hit the spacebar, but nooo.

He probably just pressed done right away, but due to the lag between computers (internet's fault), you didn't know that he had played for 30 seconds.

In fact, he may not have even gotten your message.

Why did you post this? There are 3 simple possible situations:
1-Pupp's
2-He didn't know what gg meant(low probability)
3-He was a jerk.

What's to discuss in this? Sorry for sounding harsh it's just a purely annoying thread. You don't expect us to find the reason behind human jerkness(<--sounds aweomse :) ), do you?

Yeah, I've had lots of days like that.  I generally find that Hanlon's Razor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanlon's_razor) serves to restore my Zen. 

Just think of all of the various kinds of stupid on the opponent's side that could result in that situation.  Maybe he's never noticed the "send message" button and freaked out when he recieved one.  Maybe he's a bot.  Maybe he figured 'gg' meant you were doing death gurgles in text and laughed so hard his YooHoo(tm) came out his nose.

If something happens and you think it deserves my attention, feel free to PM me. Other than that, I'm probably here if you want to shoot the breeze.

or gg means  "big grin", that is a real second meaning of gg.
Perhaps some nations have a different use of gg.
Or people simply donĀ“t want to answer or forget it.
GG in capital letters is the "constitution" in Germany.

I know gg means good game.
I forgot, that ty means "thank you". I use thx.

Don't know what gg meant: That's quite probable
Gamers who have been playing for some time would know gg, but I know a bunch of 13-year-old noobs who play the game. And one of them asked me what is gg because someone sent it to him......

Also:
4. Is it really necessary to answer to 'gg'? I mean: is it unpolite not doing it?
5. Perhaps he thought it wasn't a good game at all. It's nobody's fault, I wouldn't blame him.

+1. I often swap tabs in the browser to read something during pvp matches, as it is extremely boring to wait for the opponent to finish his/her turn. I'm not sure, but don't messages wear off if not acknowledged by the recipient for some time? I'm pretty sure that I've missed quite a few by this way.

Also, when I first encountered gg, I had to ask what does it mean. Outside the anglo-saxon world, people say other things...

Being a jerk on the internet started a long long time ago, and it is a grim tale...

When the internet was founded,
All the bad kids would get grounded,
And they'd all log on to relieve their rage;

Normally their sarcastic grace,
would get them punched in the face;
But anonymity helped them life, to an old age.

And so as they increased in number,
They made non-trolls look dumber,
The internet turned to hunting ground, before our very eyes,

And so now we laugh at alt-F4,
And then decide we need pain more,
And then make noobs delete system 32, with our lies.

Because you see, we are all young,
we fight to prove we are well hung,
but the fact is we're all wimpy nerds;

So if you want internet change,
But don't want to seem deranged,
Simply please adhere to my words:

We all have problems, dark and deep;
We all have trouble finding sleep;
Don't fight it others in vain attempt for glee.

And maybe next time you meet noob,
Instead of acting like a scrooge,
Simply explain the meaning, of "GG".

Essence: How did you get the "Hanlons Razor" thing to read with a rolloever. That was fricking sweet. 

People aren't jerks, if he didn't say good game back, he may have thought it was a bad game. I tend to think I do bad, even if I win, or maybe he thought the game wasn't that exciting.

Dude, seriously.  I didn't think it was a "good game" so I didn't type "gg" back to you!  I don't like being mean but I don't like lying to people either.  So I didn't respond.

But now that I know you're going to get all bent out of shape over 2 stupid letters, I'll be sure to type them next time.

Sincerely,
Jerk
Bring back Holy Cow!
