Let's hear the truth RE: wishing "GL"

by **daydream** on Tue Sep 23, 2008 4:48 am

i always post have fun instead of good luck. that way i am not lying

by **azezzo** on Tue Sep 23, 2008 8:30 am

i'll say hello, but no i do not wish my opponent,s good luck
a few months back i started thinking it was insincere of most players, so i would say ,"good luck to you in your next game"

by **The1exile** on Tue Sep 23, 2008 8:36 am

I mean it. I don't have anything against opponents having good luck, so long as it's not at my losing-15-bazillion-to-a-single army type expense. :-)

by **tiberiusaquila** on Tue Sep 23, 2008 9:02 am

Upon review, I'm now offering "hi and have fun."

Shtick reduction. :lol:

I'm not sure that could possibly be more irrelevant.

Anyway, I played someone recently who said, "May your dice all be sixes in every game but this one." Thought that was funny.

I always used to make sure I said good strategy when someone wished me good luck. Now I'm lazy and will have a simple gl,hf,lol,omg!

by **Jgood** on Tue Sep 23, 2008 12:22 pm

I do say good luck, because it will take good luck to make a game out of it. Not that I don't hope for better luck myself.

by **Nikolai** on Tue Sep 23, 2008 12:58 pm

Where's the option that says "I say it because I really do want them to have good luck... because I think I can beat them, luck notwithstanding." :?:

Hear, hear... except it's only been six years for me. Should I have pent-up frustrations in just six years?

I actually thought 'gl' meant 'get lost'.
I found it quite refreshing how honest people were..

pink: gl
yellow: yeah, gl everybody
blue: gl to you too
etc.

Since that illusion is now shattered, I shall have to change my approach.

Think I'll go for 'DIE' from now on - that should get my sentiments across quite nicely.

by **Snorri1234** on Tue Sep 23, 2008 3:28 pm

I tend to favor "Rot in hell you motherfucking dickwads" over "gl".

Yeah, that'll work too - helluva a fag to type every time though.

by **freeroll84** on Tue Sep 23, 2008 3:52 pm

i say gl... not good luck, but giant lizzard!

confuses people... thats the point

by **InsomniaRed** on Tue Sep 23, 2008 5:23 pm

I usually say gl. Sometimes I mean it. I really do mean it when I am playing people I know though. It's like when atheists say 'bless you' after someone sneezes. Even if they don't mean it, it's kind of habit and people think it's polite.

Hmmmm.....

"bless you, my child....."

yeah, I'm going with that henceforth.

How about: "DID YOU JUST SNEEZE IN MY FACE?! WTF?!"

learn it...

as dane cook once said "i believe that anytime someone says bless you, they really mean 'cover your fuckin mouth'"
And every time someone sneezes i say "god bless you" opposed to bless you, cause well, im not the lord

haha! I always say "Bless your soul" to change things up and point out the mindlessness of "bless you"

by **lord voldemort** on Wed Sep 24, 2008 8:38 am

i vary in what i say..
i say gl cause its appropriate..or have a good game just cause its ettiquite
what i hate is when you are 1v1 and someone says gl after round 2 after they drop oceania and take 3 territories first turn from me...
thats just annoying

by **Twill** on Wed Sep 24, 2008 9:14 am

I use it when I'm too lazy to type any more, GL is just a whole lot shorter than

I want MY luck First, THEN any leftover luck may be distributed to the other losers

It also is supposed to replace the 3 lamb sacrifices required daily by the dice gods....or so I hear
