The GG problem

[Ephiza]

Hopefully you read the title, and can understand this is about people saying "gg10 rekt scrublord gitgud eZ", etc. etc. If you say these things after you kill 1 person once and you were low, just say good game. Now, I'll be the first to admit, I say these things out of rage. However, I say them to people who deserve it. People that 1. Make fun of my ratio. 2. say they are the best. or 3. say they are good, but target me off of corn, and team on me. If you have people like that in your game, it might not be the nicest thing to say, but they probably deserve it.

If someone says it to you, and you know they where low, they double teamed you, they gappled, and had more gear than you, think of it this way. All they want to do is make you angry, to get you banned. They are just angry at the fact that they aren't as good as you, so they tip everything in their favor. When you are a WELL KNOWN player, everyone will say those things to you, so get diamond+ donor so you can /d in empty games, and no one will know it is you unless they try to /stats.

Hopefully this clears up things about this problem.


-Good day, Pandq

Look, there has always been a 'GG' problem. This isn't really an effective solution, you just have to learn to ignore anybody who does it, whether it's out of rage or just plain immaturity.

Before someone tarnishes Torchy 's perfect response someone should lock this SmoothPixels

Yeah, I guess that's an okay way to look at it. But honestly, if the player is doing it for the sole purpose of angering you, or annoying you, then why isn't it a bannable offense? In the rules, it says not to abuse other players, but saying "GG 10 hearts noob get steamrolled" is basically telling another person to get good at the game because they're terrible.
I realize I'm getting kind of off topic, but I needed to vent that out. Thanks for making this thread though, I'm trying to change my perspective on this, because it's been happening to me a lot lately.

I can agree with you on this one, but personally, I can let it go.

I can too, after I've taken a break for a while. I get butthurt over this game way easier than I should.

^this. But then I get reminded of the COD/Zincbox community, and realize just how good this community actually is

I have been raging the whole day for this soul reason. I can agree that sometimes it can get annoying, but all you have to do is take a screenshot and report it. I have reported three people today, and the mods have all taken care of the problem.

I really don't think Zincbox's community is that bad. The only thing that bothers me is all the false accusations just to make up an excuse for losing one round.

Don't feed the troll. By doing so, even to people who deserve it, you are just expanding on the problem. The more people do it, the more people will think it's perfectly ok.

I never thought of it that way. BTW, I'm not trolling.

I was with Zincbox when Zincbox first started. I was with Zincbox when Iphoto wasn't mod. The community has changed way too much. I was rank 6 on 1v1, I taught lemons12345677 everything he knows, and KingDFW along with kenzierocks1. There was once a time when everyone rank 20+ or so was all a close pack of friends. A lot of the good community left/plays at insane hours. And the NCP is really messed up.

Anyways, back on topic!

Bottom line is don't do it. All you're doing is making yourself look like a fool and getting disliked. Is it really worth ruining your reputation? Just to tell someone they are bad and frustrate them. They shouldn't take it seriously, true. But remember, Minecraft is a game originally created for kids, and they wont stop themselves from raging because they don't see the consequences. Saying these things sets a bad example, and people wonder why so many kids behave like they do on Minecraft.
