POLL: How do you guys greet opponents when you start a match

[Mr. Uncompetitive]

SocMed Discord has been having a tense discussion about this over the past couple days, we feel this is an important topic that needs to be handled by the people.

 

[RADU]

"hf no good luck" tried and true

 

[Monai]

Glhf because I'm not a pussy

 

[goldmason]

Nothing except u2 truthers rise up

 

[Solosis]

I sometimes say "I hope you catch a cold" or "I hope your toe pinky hits the edge of a table", especially to those replay scouters trying to CTeam me!!

 

[Gypsy]

Glhf because I'm not a pussy

biggest pussy i know saying this is crazy

 

[Zacpz]

Bl dhf

 

[Mr. Uncompetitive]

biggest pussy i know saying this is crazy

I mean I love hating but Monai was so real for this

 

[phoopes]

I only say gl. This is because if I lose I can blame the opponent having good luck for my loss. I never say hf because I do not want my opponent to have fun. This is a battlefield, this is war. There is no fun to be had.

 

[perejil]

I wonder what you guys do with all the extra time you've saved up by typing in abbreviations instead of the full word. Guys have me thinking of Sunday Bloody Sunday every other match by typing u2

 

[Teh]

“hf” if i’m not friends with my opponent, “gl hf” if i am

people who put "=" after opp says hf sniff their own farts

 

[peng]

maximum aura

 

[Adeleine]

i don't like chit chatting with people but i feel obliged to spot a u2 to someone being nice

in the rare case im battling w a friend i will probably tell them they smell or something

 

[gali]

Salutations my good fellow! I hope we have the most sporting of bouts, and our competition is not marred by the unfortunate happenstance of "hax". Tally-ho!

 

[Finchely]

People who lead Skarm/Ttar/Zap/Pert/Mence and tentatively Registeel/Rock get the courtesy of “hf”. Degenerate medicham and smeargle leads get no such luxury

 

[BIG ASHLEY]

i think it's important to rouse the troops -- my elite team of six combat-ready bellibolts -- moreso than to wish the opponent luck or fun. i've settled on something of a normal speech; i tend to say somwthing like "What's he that wishes so?
My cousin, Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin;
If we are mark'd to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one man more.
By Jove, I am not covetous for gold,
Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost;
It yearns me not if men my garments wear;
Such outward things dwell not in my desires.
But if it be a sin to covet honour,
I am the most offending soul alive.
No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England.
God's peace! I would not lose so great an honour
As one man more methinks would share from me
For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more!
Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host,
That he which hath no stomach to this fight,
Let him depart; his passport shall be made,
And crowns for convoy put into his purse;
We would not die in that man's company
That fears his fellowship to die with us.
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.
He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,
Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,
And rouse him at the name of Crispian.
He that shall live this day, and see old age,
Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,
And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."
Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,
And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,
But he'll remember, with advantages,
What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,
Familiar in his mouth as household words—
Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,
Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—
Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.
This story shall the good man teach his son;
And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,
From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be rememberèd—
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he to-day that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day," or
"whtwsomcwnmfciwamtdwaenoughtdoclaitltfmtgsohgwiptwnommbjiancfgoldnciwdfmciymnimmgwsotdnimdbiibastchiatmosanfmcwnamfegpiwnlsgahaommmwsfmftbhopeihodnwomrpiwtmhthwhnsttflhdhpsbmacfcpihpwwnditmctfhftdwutdictfochtotdacshwsatwtdinarhatnochtsltdasoawyotvfhnastisctwhshsashsastwihocdomfyasbfbhrwawfhdtdtsonfihmahwhtkbaewatsagbitfcfrtssthmthsaccsngbftdtteotwbwiisbrwfwhfwbobfhttshbwmsbmbbhnsvtdsghcagienasttatwnhahtmcwastfwuuscd" for short. i think it works quite well, though i have started to lose more matches on timer recently...

 

[fiish]

on ladder i say u2, in tour games i say hf

 

[averagetoxapexlover]

People who say = are losers friendly reminder

 

[Eledyr]

Hf bro with my friends
Hf otherwise
Nothing at all if I'm on the ladd

 

[Let's go shuckles]

Bad Luck, No Fun

 

[olivia]

I wait for them to say glhf and then I say thanks.
Real victors take every advantage available to them.

 

[doipy hooves]

I don't initiate but I respond to glhf with gfhl or ghlf.

 

[RainWaiv]

glhf in every metagame except ubers, in which case i say nothing unless they call me a "legendary spammer" to which i remind them this is not a youtube video and frankly i'm not sure where they got a script from

 

[Divine Retribution]

Wait for them to say glhf and then say "won't need it". This only gives aura if you win, so don't lose or else you look like a clown.
