The correct way is typing: “GF EZ” ---

It’s to remind the other that none of us are cool enough to have a girlfriend. Some of us are unlucky enough to have a wife tho so thats what wwwww is for when you see that ---

TL;DR I think it promotes a certain level of civility and maturity. If I lose a fight, yeet myself into something bad or get ganked I say ‘gf’ in local and that’s it. Its not personal and never should be. ---

Saying ‘gf’ is not good sportsmanship. It’s virtue signalling spam. Good sports send isk. ---

> [@Aiko\_Danuja](#): > > Good sports send isk. How about gank victims should send 1 bil ISK to their teacher that ganked them for the invaluable lesson they’ve learned. It is only fair to compensate the teachers for their time, ISK and efforts spent to educate people and improve their gameplay. It should be considered a public service and compensated well. ---

> [@Aiko\_Danuja](#): > > Saying ‘gf’ is not good sportsmanship. From my observations of daily highsec life, it is customary for the ganker to post a polite gf after an intense PvP match in the belt, and then for the miner to follow up with death threads or kinky stories about your mother ---

> [@AnHuo](#): > > is that a compliment or a mockery I would think it’s whatever you feel it is at the time. If one is bitter at losing the ship he might take it as a mockery but if one is okay with it then he’s likely to take it as a compliment or at least _not_ a mockery. ---

Or in like my case, you could just say GF simply because you actually caught me? That in itself is worthy of a GF. I feel sorry for the rest of you… ---

> [@AnHuo](#): > > As the question says, is that a compliment or a mockery，1VN is often encountered in ESS, and usually GF I take it as a compliment，But in the case of 1VN, why do we need GF? I kind of wonder if it’s sarcasm Little late to the party, but people who say GF are just there to tell others they arent losers, and that they have a GF waiting for them when they log off. So many people accuse me of having no life when i win battles, so i say “GF” to tell them that i have a girlfriend and therefore a life. ---
