There was a good article written by Travis Woo (http://www.channelfireball.com/articles/woo-brews-shuffling-and-handshakes/) on shaking hands after a game. As the loser, maybe I’m not in the mood to shake anyone’s hand. I know I’ve been there before, but maybe a minute later, after de-sideboarding, I’ll extend the hand and be gracious regardless of how good the game was.

As the winner, I don’t want to make a bad situation for my opponent worse by sticking my hand in his face and pressuring him to do something he might not want to do. Again, after I de-sideboard, I’ll likely say, “Thanks for the games,” but I won’t expect anything back.

I say good game and shake my opponents hand after every game, win or lose. I actually had one guy refuse to shake my hand and just said no. This really is a game people…

Or shouting during the opening of a sealed. “YESSS! X CARD!!”

WTF? Seriously, STFU.

I am personally bothered by the old “gg” after a particularly non-interactive game, though Reid Dike recently gave me some perspective. He’s basically the most good guy alive and says “good game” because he sees it as sporting. I try not to get bothered when people with intentions similar to Reid’s. It is tough to ignore both the sarcastic history of the expression and my tendency to take things literally though (ergo critically examine whether the game was in fact “good”).
