I have several responses in mind.

1) It's good sportmanship to wish your opponent good luck. It happens in sports, too.
2) A bridge too far, as posting topics in GD is concerned.
3) You are getting close to being foe'd with these topics.

That is so accurate! Especially the second part... Very often when I say "gg," the other player(s) will tell me that it wasn't; they had shit dice. Not really a big deal for me, but I think they miss the point of what "gg" has evolved into in CC... simply a way of saying, "this game is over, and I am happy to have won. Later..."

Of course, there are those few games that are actually very good games, and both sides agree on it ;)

That's why I DON'T say "good luck"...I'd be lying. What I DO say is "Have fun", which I sincerely wish on the opponent.

Good question. I've thought about the same thing. And, point in fact, I don't tend to say "good luck" very often. Although I do greet my opponents with some type of greeting. Habit. Habit is one answer to your query. But I think there is another reason. I think, the vast majority of us, no matter that we want to see our rank rise and our position excel to page one of the leader board, or at the very least, show ourselves worthy combatants, we are social creatures. And we are looking for SOME sort of connection. Or... maybe that's just me.

Good luck.

We say gl, because we are all nice people who get along and are all good sports.

Which this thread highlights perfectly. =D>

After reading this again, I can say that I really don't want my opponent(s) to be unlucky. A fair fight with somewhat equal luck is decided by strategy, and thus more enjoyable for me.

You are, in all honestly, too much of a deep thinker for my liking/comprehension.
