I am just curious.. I understand that we suppose to meet friends here and enjoy the games. Well, second maybe was to compete and aim for the ranks and achievements. But what can u say about players who would leave you after beating you 2 or 3-0 without even saying a word? or someone who would say "gg" when the game's not yet finished? - Not set by the rules. But it shows the values and attitude of a person. Just asking..

Personally I would not be annoyed by playing someone who I will never meet in real life who doesn't add gg at the end of a game or add gg before it's finished. I'm too busy concentrating on the close of the game. Sometimes I've finished potting the black and then looked only to see the idiot having already said "gg, wp" before I've even reached the black when it's not obvious that the game is easy to wrap up. I see your point, though.

yeah, it gets annoying but its all a mind game really for those that fall for it, sometimes i find myself forgetting to say gg after every game or wp after every time i get beat, (which is alot) but i make sure i atleast say ggs before i leave, and as for the oppenent leaving after winning 2 or 3 straight games i say thats smart.. stoping before u lose what u just gained.. but everyones ethics or values may differ from yours. but in the end its just an online pool game, ull never win a hug prize or gain national news worthy success for your manners, or your game playing, so cant sweat the small stuff

Most people in real everyday life are decent.

Then you get the occasional bad-mannered, tantrum-throwing idiot.

We just have a normal cross-section of society in here. Content yourself with the knowledge that they usually behave that way because they're insecure and self-loathing. So the fact we loathe them too, means we're actually getting on quite well

I think hes talking about me but I do agree, it would be nice to have a "nice" reply off someone or not at all.
