To Speaker- Please point to the personal "attack" in my post Longhorn. Everything I posted was fact. You have not made any effort to improve at Civ in a long time, despite playing tons of games with many of the top players. You probably will think I am attacking you here Longhorn. You are a very sensitive guy. But I think you should look in the mirror and at your own play. Thanks for clarifying, I now understand. Your entire argument to my post is that you think I suck as a player and therefore aren't entitled to stand up to the class bully. OK my final response to you on this issue: 1) I haven't played a game with you in months but thats irrelevant. 2 Im an average civ player, nothing more and nothing less. I never claimed to be better then you or to be the greatest. My record is 50% and you can't get much more average than that (even though none of my games are from teamers with the daggerjoneses etc. and some losses were against) 3) It appears if I improve my game (in your eyes) it gives me the right to become an arrogant #$%^^&*. Now if I was a big of jerk as you think my response would be this: Dearest Speaker (highest rank attained on ladder #2): 1) RaY should recruit US patriot because he has enough accounts and aliases to qualify as a premium member. or 2) Looks like someones trying to overcompensate for a small twinkie! ;D Warmest Regards, -longhorn (highest rank attained on ladder #1) Good thing I'm not like that!

felling kinda of lazy to read through all 8 pages. so my suggestion is changing the start time of the indust teamer. by far this event takes the longest. maybe switch the anc teamer with the indust or the renny. by far this event is the most tiring

But what is totally off is that he completely denied it in this very thread. WTF? Hahaha, Metallian denied it in the thread because he doesn't remember it. I guess you guys couldn't tell, but he was drinking all through the Ancient event!

Thanks for clarifying, I now understand. Your entire argument to my post is that you think I suck as a player and therefore aren't entitled to stand up to the class bully. This is where I am most confused. Who is the class bully? My "entire argument" was a response to your ridiculous post(s) where you go out of your way to antagonize Mookie with your inanity. Quotes like this one... ...which has no relevance to a CCC thread, where a 150-turn event would take 2 days to complete. In case you never noticed, this is a CCC Suggestions thread, not a Longhorn bitch about the ladder thread. Then again you turn most of the threads that you post into that, for all the reasons I have since mentioned. So I guess I was mostly responding to this quote: and largely agreeing with you.

Get a room you two!! I think speaker needs to get laid (ask that nice portuguese lady from Lusitania) and Longhorn needs to take his meds (prozak?)

ROFL, why did i spend my time reading this. Its hilarious. It takes 5 ray members to shout at longhorn befor they feel good about themselves. (pathetic) And it takes another 5 God members to find out met can be an ass to some ppl. (sad) Stop looking under every stone, for MUD to throw at each other. (MUD is precious) Cmon guys kiss and make out and stop this pointless stuff. (Although dont know why met hasnt appoligized, if he hasnt; bet he has)
Btw modern should be played on inland sea cylindrical. Positions wil be screwed up but a few artist bombs correct them. Which makes boating important again. Btw just because you practised a certain map over and over shouldnt be the reason not to consider other types. And yes tbg can be fun with high seas too. Actaully more fun then low but a team might get a big advantage trying to defend but land advantages always exist. I get the point from others that the simple strat of chopin mass setlers buying mass workers and then massing a massive army is a dull strat.
Btw just out fo the blue, since the ccc isnt long enough can we have a 1v1 epic on huge/standard, miror, continent each. no turnlimit, quick speed, no huts, no barbs, pick civs, fast turns. Should take 2 days to complete a round. The fact that someone will win with a culturall victory ina ccc should be funny. And yes i do play these 1v1 regurally.
my 4 cents
ps changing ur name can also be an interesting way to get rid of redicoulous amounts of pms from unknown players.

TO CS- Excellent idea and solution on a STANDARD X minutes or forfeit strategy that can NOT be broken. Perhaps all matches can have an on duty back-up TD that can make certain all CCC events start at the scheduled time in case a delay is for a TD not being present. There is a difference between being in the lobby, ready to play, and NOT being able to connect to a game- and simply not showing up. I feel it is important to address a solution and STANDARD policy for this situation as well. We run into the most trouble when there is an appearance that different rules are applied to certain people. We must make sure ALL are treated the same. We are working on a solution to being more flexible in being able to take over tournaments for missing TD's, more to follow. CS You will notice that myself and DTA are now HTD, for nothng more than to have teh abiltiy to backup Levi and his TD team when required, this should give the Ladder staff a little more depth to be able to respond to emergencies. Other changes may follow as well. But we also need more TD's please encourage your clannies to volunteer if they have the time. CS

We should really throw in some twists to the events. How about 1x1 on modern instead of just ancient 1x1 every ccc? What about making the medieval era 3x3 a continents game? Perhaps the industrial could be played on TBG? What about an always peace game? Ancient era always peace, 2x2? Ironman played on continents? How about putting classical on mirror map (1x1 style, but on 3x3) so it isn't as much of a horseplant/metal plant luckfest (teams know the other's res and can prepare)? There are so many options, I don't see why we are playing the same things over and over.

That could be interesting. 4-corners TBG is an awesome map for 2v2 Events.

Here's yet another idea to throw out to the breeze:
What if we tried adding an event that specifically targetted the single player community, in an attempt to lure more single player people into the multiplayer realm. My idea is this: the staff starts a game with no opponents and saves the file at the start. Each clan is given the save and allowed to play it from the start by as many players and as many times as they choose to try and achieve an ultimate score by a particular date, or reach a milestone as quickly as possible (such as liberalism, music, take your pick - can be a new target every ccc!). This sort of event would challenge teams to form a think-tank on the fly to really come up with deep strategies of how and what to build, how to expand (if it's a multicity game), how to tech, the works.
The save would be posted at a set time during the day, probably on the first day, and by discretion of the staff there would be a particular ending submission time whereby nothing could be submitted after. I think with the addition of this sort of event to the ccc, we might see some active GOTM single player people showing up to join in our fun, and perhaps entice them into real multiplayer games as well.

This is an MP community and the CCC is an MP tournament. I have no desire to play in or add a SP event to the CCC.
Besides, isn't it quite easy to cheat in SP? I mean, World Builder, pause and GP exploits, reload to fix problems, etc. I don't think we want to open that can of worms for the CCC. Imagine how many "so and so cheats" threads we'll have then?
