Is it considered BM to just close the app mid-game when losing and move on to more satisfying pursuits?

No. I believe it's considered a Rage Quit. Even if your intent is not to exemplify rage, it will likely be seen as such, at least by most people.

Being open about something such as this doesn't really have much of an impact. Though it is relevant to human behavior, with BM being relevant to human behavior, I find it somewhat fitting that it was posted here. It can be much easier to be friends with and identify with people when you can see the kind of person they are. When they're open about something like this is when you can value them more as an honest person and less as an anomaly. As it is, if you visit my profile, you'll even see that I've given several backgrounds of information about myself and my passions. I'm used to being open, as I've not much to hide.

Yet, if one truly wished to appear honest, wouldn't it be better to not to be open at all? The irony here is that even one's willingness to lie is something your test touches on. I'm instinctively opposed to doing anything that disrupts my image of normalcy, which in my own best interests after all.  I suppose it's not relevant with the anonymity of the internet but even so, I find it extremely difficult to break the habit

Appearing more as an honest person with people is only really found in the idea that exposing your personality leaves little left hidden. It becomes harder to be seen as a liar if what you've revealed to people lines up with what's being said/done at the time. Of course, if you're like me, you're not fooled by words and don't take just this (psychology test results) as that which defines a person, but merely what aids in understanding them better. If you understand someone better, you'll be able to pick up much more on what is the truth and what isn't. That's how being open makes you more honest. You make yourself easier to identify. There are a number of personality types in which lies can be weaponized to work better in your favor, allowing a person to get away with more by lying.

For example, if I do something, and you think I'm a good person, if you ask me about doing the thing and I tell you "No, I wouldn't do that. What kind of person do you think I am?" There's a chance you get the other person to doubt themselves, making it easier for you to get away with more in the future.

Another example, the opposite, if you do something and admit to it, if you continually do things and admit to them, one of two things happen.

1. You can build an image of yourself that you're trustworthy, so when you lie about something, you're believed almost immediately.
2. People will think that because you're constantly doing things that you're expected to have done something bad, meaning the lie will be seen right through.

It's a matter of pacing yourself for the most part. Dealing too much damage to your image makes it hard for you to be seen as innocent ever. I feel like there's a lot more I could write here, but I'll stop for now.

Hehe, I behave in the forum just exactly as I do in real life. XD

You're saying that being selectively honest aids in lying when it counts in the long run? Yeah, I understand this. It's lying 101. I am a perfectly straightforward and open person when it comes to matters that don't pertain to anything damaging

The issue is, I believe that advertising such test results is exactly something that would "deal too much damage" in one go, as you put it. Maybe you won't take it as what defines a person but a lot of casual onlookers probably do ...

 You madman! That's ... mind blowing. I can't even begin to imagine going through life like that >.<

 So do i!High five!

All right I usually don't emote at all, but if you come with your full standard deck in Wild, I will WoW you to death (See how a bad and crazy person I am? I WILL PRESS A BUTTON, SEVERAL TIMES!). Your Shudderwock was cool'and all, but it seems you can't deal with 4 Lich Kings. Yup, welcome to wild and Barnes, how do you like me now shudderfriend?

I don't normally - but a cocky wee shit last night was BM'ing away when they played Rexxar and cleared my board. The over-confidence they had was incredible - so a nice wee BM while dealing the final blow was definitely called for and had me chuckling away. I fully expected a friend invite after it with the usual childish name calling - but not even that.

Quote from Magpai23 >>

... Is it BM to concede as your opponent has just completed their lethal damage hit? ...

I try to do this every time #ConcedeWhenDeadOnly 
Edit: sometimes I spice it up with card with bold animation :D

I came from playing casual Magic the Gathering where the banter is super important, so whenever I have an appropriate moment you can bet your bottom dollar I'm emoting.

Something Random they were hoping would save them backfires? "wow!"

Rip lethal off the top? "Oops"

Priest Hero Power t2? "The light shall burn you!"

Hell, sometimes I'll "miss" on board lethal and then I'll Fireball you. Step up, nerd.

Hi , 

It can be forgiven because all what matters it's victory so it's not that bad  just a little of "BM" !  

digitalocean  siteground  ipage   

I say Hello. I give a 'wow' if it's suitable, such as a Warlock playing Lakkari Sacrifice T1 on Standard Ladder, and beyond that not much at all.

 Although on occasions my opponent and I have had psuedo conversations by way of Emotes. Those are the games where Friend Requests get sent and generally accepted.

No I don’t bm cause. That’s is childish.

I BM in response to BMing or if I'm tilted and let my feelings get the better of me in a winning match after losing to bad plays, good players, net decks I dislike, RNG, etc.

I don't initiate BM and try to greet / well played everyone I face, since there are plenty of BMers out there, I figure I should make it a little less terrible feeling on ladder.

I do try to use "appropriate" emotes for situations like incredible top decks or RNG for either player (which is open to interpretation, so eh, some will always cry BM).

Usually first thing in the morning after I've had my morning Red Bull. Sometimes I will take the iPad in the bathroom with me and play some Hearthstone while I do.

 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I do not use emotes at all, and i use the auto squelch feature in hsdecktracker.

I know it's stupid but i do burn easy and this is the way i find easier to keep playing.

No, I only say "Greetings!" before I destroy my opponent.
