What does 'GG' mean to you?

[Gandalf The Purple]

Does it mean to you that the game is lost and there is no way to win the game anymore, or is it a compliment you say to the other team at the end of the game, acknowledging the fact that even though you win, the other team still played reasonably well?

Both.

It's both.

You either call gg to capitulate or to commend your opponent for a game you really enjoyed.

To me its a game that was enjoyable. Either if you lose or win. Beating up newbies who can't play / Getting rap'ed by pro's who are 10 steps ahead is no gg Imo.
Oh yea, it means "good game"

It really depends for me. If the match is over, it means that I had fun regardless of the result of the match, at least when I say that.

When I see anyone writing "GG" in the beginning of the match or in the middle (like 5 to 20 minutes) it means that the guy is either giving up or is trolling and right after he/she says something like "noob team".

Well, at least that's how I see it.

I spit on my hand after a match win or lose and shake the enemy's hand.

Well, depending on the culture circle this is either okay or you should prepare yourself to get your teeth kicked in.

Well, that shows why you shouldn't trust urban dictionary.

i say gg when i see a smurf pudge

It's considered gaming etiquette for the losing team to concede by calling GG and for the winning team to respond with a GG of their own.

It is considered unmannered for the winning team to call GG prior to the official conclusion of the match if the losing team does not call it first. This is called an "offensive GG" and is frowned upon because until the match has officially concluded the winning team has no authority to claim their lead is insurmountable.

If the match officially concludes, either side is free (and encouraged) to say GG in any order.

It's a way for people to ♥♥♥♥♥ and moan under the guise of sportsmanship.
Looks like we're losing? GG (but continue to ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ play)
