Is 'gg' becoming a meaninless phrase?

Would my verbose initial greeting become meaningless to you if I told you that I use a text macro in every first game with a stranger?

It’s this one, you may have seen it before if we have played each other:
Hello [nickname], this is Tom in Germany :-) Good game!

… and then I insert the nickname by hand. Even the smiley is meant sincerely even though it was “typed” by my macro program.

For me it’s no problem when people use shortcuts, it’s just that I personally like to speak it out :smile: but then again I also like to socialise with the humans behind the sterile pixels that appear on my screen :wink:

Cordially, Tom
