Since so many games are 6:1 and worse, and since the scoreboard is not semi-transparent and centered, there's been some misunderstanding and bad feelings when a heavily tipped game ends and some players say the traditional "gg" meaning "good game." Some of the players on the losing side (due to skewed numbers of enemies) have taken it as a flippant celebration of an unfair victory.

I've taken to complimenting the defense with "good defense" but of course that isn't visible when the scoreboard pops up. How about "g def"? I think I will start using that at the end of a skewed game. It means a mouthful, something like "good defense, you are a stud for sticking that out."
