All it means is that it was done for fun with the side initiating the "gf" comment implying "no hard feelings".

If the "loser" types "gf" too, he is acknowledging he was caught fair and square (nothing about the fight being fair or not) and also has "no hard feeling", realizing that EvE is primarily a game of (pack of) cat(s) and mouse.

With both parties exchanging "gf", the two parties part amicably.

When one party does not share a "gf", we end up with this

When FCing, I generally try not to GF after barge kills. I will always GF a combat ship, however.

I always state GF, it's good sportsmanship even if a majority of my encounters lately are those with tons of logi alts to come save their hide. Better then nothing, i'll take it.

The outcome is, predictable. The minor is beaten/hacked/smashed into a bloody pulp. Visual image of biomass or pod goo.

Why would anyone participating in that fight (in this case, two of the agressors), comment with "GF".

What about that single fight deserved merit of being a "good fight" ? Can someone explain me this. It wouldn't be bad if he said "good slaugher" or "good gank" or "good wtfpwn", those would seem fitting, but.. "good fight", really?

This isn't a whine, or so-called tears. It's a question of what deserves the merit of a good fight, asking the community.
I put it in this section because I can't seem to find a good fit for it anyplace else.



GF can be used just like the word "F***" is used. It can mean many many different things depending on the inflection, verve, situation and amount of spittle expelled when saying it.

You once caught a miner in a belt
He was right at 0 so he's easy to melt
The good fight was given
His anger hath risen
The tears in local showed how sad he felt

No trolling please

Because this is not 11 people with bats, axes, knives and other assorted weapons beating a defenseless human being. That kind of behavior is deplorable, and in most of the world behavior like this will result in law enforcement taking notice.

This is a video game about exploding internet spaceships.

You're comparing apples to kittens here, dude.

Giving a "GF" in local is kinda a custom - it shows that you are not one of those psychopaths who gets all rage filled and butthurt after their internet spaceship detonates. It shows that you are classy. It's kinda like a "Lol, you got me!" or a "Thanks for the content!" or "Well, that just happened!" sort of thing.

Myself - I use it as a check of the character of the people who detonated me, or who I just detonated. If they call "GF" after a battle, they tend to be the kind of people that I respect. if they start cursing me out, acting crazy, telling me they will show up at my house and kill my mother - then they get added to the "do everything you can do to make this characters life as difficult as possible" list. It's a fun way to know who to target to mine the most valuable resource in Eve: rage and tears.

If I go to the effort of mining aligned on my venture and spamming Dscan for probes, warping out when a cata appears in my belt/I spot combat drones, I think thats worth a GF. Hey that gives me an idea! I'm gonna go practise scanning down AFk macks with my merlin. No warping to belt, it will be warps to zero! Might as well learn to player skills while my character learns how to fly..
