Post subject: | Re: Question about on-line go etiquette |
In all my years playing on KGS, I've only run into one person who berated me for moving slowly. He even insisted that going into byo-yomi in the middle game was cheating. It was an extremely unpleasant experience, but it hasn't been common. (I have sped up my play some since then, though I don't intentionally try to play fast.) I would never have thought of an offer to review the game as rude. That others would surprises me, though I can understand not wanting to look over a game if the defeat still hurts. |

If I'm unintentionally being rude -- that might explain the rude replies! As I see it, I often review my games regardless of the outcome. So, when I have time for a review, I always invite my opponent -- out of both politeness and selfishness. Even if I won, I'm sure that my opponent had ideas that did not occur to me. And if this is the norm, this seems odd to me -- reviewing your game is generally useful. So, why should there be an asymmetry in who gets to extend the offer? In fact, my initial thought on this was that excluding my opponent from a review would be rude. Well, I for one am generally grateful when a better player (i.e., someone who just slaughtered me) offers a review. I rarely feel like it's my privilege to demand/request a review from somebody after a casual game. So, in my opinion, there's nothing at all wrong with asking the other player if they want to review a game. If the other player has a fragile ego after losing, and would rather sulk than take the opportunity to improve, that's their problem. |
