But in terms of this game, gg means 'Good Game' and to many people on this website, it means the most recently completed frame is considered good (if they wait until the end).

I know exactly what your saying spinner and I agree with you, but for the game of Funkypool, to 99% of people 'gg' is said as a courtesy in victory or defeat.

Then there is 'ggs' or 'Good Games', which can be interpreted in many other ways.

I'm sure we can explore this issue from both sides of the coin for many weeks and months

Irrespective of when or if people say "gg".

Members moan when someone doesnt say it and then when members do say it they moan because it is said too early!

What do they want?

I personally try not to say it until I leave, where I'll often say 'ggs'
otherwise, if I win I'll say 'ul', or if I lose I'll say 'wp'
If they didn't play well I'll say nothing at all

Not if you consider them to be playing a Good Game surely

"wp" meaning "well played" implys they have finished playing well

im fairly sure effren reyes wouldnt shout "good game !" at johnny archer as he lined up the 9 ball ....no matter how well he was playing

i think its etiquette, in most games the protagonists will wish eachother luck and shake hands before the start and at the end the loser will congratulate the victor who will in turn offer his hand in sportsmanship, but not during the event ....especially not during crucial moments of concentration

Re: Spinner
Semantics..... as I have tried to explain to you many different ways (even using "sources" lol), gg is widely accepted as something you say at the end of the game.
I think we can't make progress on that point.
How about this: for the sake of the discussion, just pretend briefly that "gg" is truly meant to be said at the end of the game. IF that was the case, would you still be ok with people saying it as you're taking a crucial shot?

Just had marko do it to me on snooker deliberately to put me off then continued to pretend like he'd done nothing wrong, pretty immature really

Firstly you should know naming and shaming is against the rules.

Secondly you're just using it as an excuse that you lost, if he didn't say it you're saying you'd have won on 10/10 times in that sort of situation? Rubbish.

No I didn't say I would've won had he not said it, the game was far from over but he put it there deliberately to attempt to put the opponent off and it is off putting seeing it there.

I do it all the time lol

Lol gotta love the honesty!

To be fair if 2 letters put you off which makes you lose a frame then you have issues

you shouldnt read it anyways if your taking shots surely?

So if you dont look you wont see it and it wont put you off will it

Just remember its only a game

Rant over lol

It doesnt bother me when people do it but i get laughs out of it when people miss a easy shot then blame me for it because i was being nice saying good game.

Wouldnt put me off just think its unsportsman like.

True i suppose, i despise the word anyways im suprised the G button on my laptop works after pressing it all these years haha

too many abreviations now why cant you just play against the rules

well i do now

yeah i agree with matty and stueyy

its not them putting you of its your just rubbish

Does anyone know of a way i can watch the marathon finals (8 ball usually) without getting timed out after 20 min? Takes several minutes to log back into the game, but it's usually over when I do get to return.

Thanks in advance.

As for gg (topic) the only time i get beat is when i type long words and chat for ages ALL THE TIME, happend last night in a final but this was my own doing... if gg can put someone off then i think they need to get out more and take this far to serious!

Yep totally agree crazzy!
