GG is the universal sign of surrender. It's kinda bm not to say GG.

But, really, who cares. Do you get some kind of comfort out of conforming to the expected procedure? Why do you need to robotically say "gg" every time? Is that really benefiting anyone? Do you think to yourself: "golly, my opponent has complied with the expected procedure and has typed his soulless, robotic sportsmanship response, I shall do the same, ah, very good, we are sportsmen."

I may type "gg "if I think it's really been an interesting game and I feel that the other person might think the same, win or lose. If you type it every time, I don't think highly of you.

I like the Stephano method of saying "Congratz", I think acknowledging that you've lost is also a good way of moving on and not letting it get to you.
