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"

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.

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

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 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.

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.

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

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.

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"

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
