Just had my 4th multiplayer game of Civ ever (ladder name is AU_Armageddon, they dun let underscore on forums). The dudes in last game made for very tough fight but we win and dude goes your rank is gonna jump now. I think to myself what he talkin about.
I never heard of em. In my uber 4 game experiences heh. Dudes on enemy were tommynt, RedPhoenix, Humpfry and I forget other. Just now I check ladder and I crap my pants singing OMFGBBQ! It's not even my song! My direct opponent was tommy and boy does that dude like catapults but he get no cigar for them cos I like em too.
He likes goin first in turn order too cos I got roasting for havin all my animations on and default whatnot settings. This is too much complications for me to find this things. They are got quite agro during big push attempt tellin me to fix settings, I eventually got it what they meant. Game is much faster with this settings off but not so pretty anymore.
Prolly got lucky since they are uber on the charts but right now click on my name says my last opponents was the number 1 and 2 and i got all wins so far so while it lasts for this short time I must come here to post my song
OMFGBBQ! ;D

How do you turn off enemy battle animations? i thought I had it off in OPTIONS, but it still shows them. Battles are resolved immediately, so I'd rather not be forced to watch 20 cavalry attack each and every one of my units.

Whilst you've named two top ranking players there in tommynt and RedPhoenix, spill the beans who was backing you up as I know those guys don't just pick on newbs they have top captains vote. Though saying that why weren't Captains Tommynt and the RedPhoenix?

Battles are resolved immediately, so I'd rather not be forced to watch 20 cavalry attack each and every one of my units. I dun think you can cos that's where the agro was comin from. Can turn off your own stuff only. I kept clicking in boxes - quick combat, dun be zoomin, autopromote, but it wasnt till i had about 4 done that everyone was happy. Everyone yellin mash number pad 6 mash np6. I dun get off playin game with that intensity for stealing order of play. Irony of the top players mashing is that seems you can interfere with mashers edge by simply leaving your settings at default, makes for prettier gameplay too DD, the good guy to my right was TX_Will, he was good personal to game with and great player. Next to him was some dude with Darkness in his name, can't quite remember but I dun see it on top 50. He didn't talk much and most of game 1v1ed with his opposite. To my left I dun remember but he was annoying personality so you can prolly recongise him by traits and tell me who is. He never shut up; barks orders to everyone; dun take into account that he doesnt have full perspective or context wot u are doin so his orders are mostly off target and you have to ignore which makes him use all caps lol; add rude for that! Whiny too i.e. tommy got his HA and crap runnin interference for me, one strays into this dudes area and he starts screaming angry for help cos they are 2v1ing him. I say, anything else besides that one horse archer I should know about. he not answer. he was good player in technical sense, irritating exactly like a guy called Tony I played with just b4 1st ladder game for 20 mins b4 he quit on me (dun count 20 mins as having a game), but though good didnt impress since he didnt take advance despite having cushy pocket (his opposite was phoenix though so mebbe fair enuff in reflection). I would like to know name cos I dun ever wanna play with on same team again. SEND ME PRIEST! SEND ME WORKER! THOSE WORKERS THERE FLARE FLARE FLARE SHOULD BE HELP ME BUILD MY RES INSTEAD OF YOURS! SEND ME STONE! HELP I AM 2V1. SEND ME MORE STUFF. Fair enough, I am only flat out trying to fight tommy (who on thoughts he prolly known was good) but sure thing. I sacrifice start speed and cost of build those workers and priest cos you are you. Haha. I am too nice. So you tell me who was it?

Wow this guy has some audacity, First and for most, if you would of done your job, military units would never have reached me from across the board. Maybe if you would have listened you wouldn't have lost that forward city which was a stupid move to have placed in the first place, i was being 2v1 for most of the game and you probably gave me less than 7 military units. Than magically when tommy decided to focus on you and leave me alone you dropped like a child and I had to send over around 40 military units to defend your cities, so maybe you should slow your roll and be lucky that you were on my team, because lets be real, without me on your team you will probably never win a top 20 person game again And you will never be on my team again with that personality so take a picture of the rank you had a few days ago because it wont be going back up for awhile. You think you are something special and obviously you knew who I was and wrote what you did above because of what the haters on the board say and not because of how I acted in the game, so go ahead and try to be something. You were my neighbor and you are supposed to help me when I am being 2v1 and I shouldn't have to depend on military help from the TX guy who was 20 Squares away. You think you are something special for lasting 50 turns on Tommy's front door, but you only lasted because he was trying to kill me along with red phoenix. And you are lucky I even responded to your comment (Who the hell are you again?). I am just getting sick of new people who go with the masses and flame because everyone else does and not because of what I write. If people did a lot more open thinking instead of flaming we would accomplish more, by all means find one instance in a game or these boards where I talked nuts to someone before they talked nuts to me, or said something that wasn't justified to be said. When you start a thread or a discussion in a condescending or ignorant fashion, please believe I am going to respond in a justified way, and to people like Arma, for the love of god you are a damn newbie man (If you are an admin there is no reason why you should modify this comment because arma posted what he did above and obviously meant it at me and it wasn't modified, and there is no reason to single out what I just said because (Its me) and do anything to this paragraph, because it is justified and in response to a flame.) There is a reason why Tommynt paused the game and said he wouldn't go on with your damn animations, its because people don't want to sit there and lag for combat, I mean you didn't even know what the hell you were doing half the game and it took you 10 minutes to figure out how to f**king enable quick combat or auto promote... And another note, there is a reason why the last 10 teamers I have played in I have been teamed up on by 2-3 opponents, and its kind of the reason why I dont like playing teamers, but to you shmucks who team up on me, you usually lose so just keep on doing what your doing because I will gladly take a hit and lose a city if it means my team will win. And for people on my team, I am not saying I am God and I am invincible, but when I scream out things in caps its because I need help and obviously whatever the hell your doing isn't doing the damn job and you better listen, when I am being teamed up on 3v1 and you are my closest teammate, that doesn't mean you start building the f**king stone hedge, or a settler or another worker or the f**king pyramids, it means you f**king instantly go to warriors or archers and give me help instead of me taking huge hits, I do my part in games and than some, but you kids out there who play on my team think you are the nuts because you have more points in the teamer, when in reality if you were the one being teamed up on, you would be dead and the team would be forced to resign because of the impossibility of winning....... You don't like taking orders from me when you are on my team and you are not doing what you are supposed to be doing? Than get the f**k out of my game and go find a game with newbies who will accept a defeat openly, because I am perfectly down with teamwork and giving support and keeping my mouth shut and not saying a word, but thats only if the people on my team know what the hell they are doing..............

Roflmfao! Yup, that's him for sure! Mebbe you really believe I knew you, and mebbe you really believe this is consipiracy and I did all this research and am a forum hitman or something lolol, and mebbe you believe you are not writing so much crap just to hear yourself speak! I hope you are very pretty IRL cos for such self love it would be ashame if you were not. I tell you a secret about real world I learn back in kinda. People dun like people who dun understand respect. If you dun show respect to people you play with, and are rude, arrogant, narcis, and lol, not even right, they will turn on you like a snake. I dont even know you, but afta read (some of ) your crazy post even I would happy throw a game to have a laugh with my teamers triple teaming you. We have saying in Australia that all childs here learn early when they act like ass "We are not playing for sheepstations". Its just a game that means nuthin. You take it too serious noone has any fun with you. You take yourself too serious, it makes you a thingy. I may be just a lucky n00b, and am yet another poor sod who fails to see and respect your so awe inspiring geatness lol, but at least i am not a thingy. OMFG! It's another BBQ! ;D I will happy play against u anytime meester theory. If i lose you can say see, and if i win u can say luck!

This is a great example of how rank is no indicator of the quality of the player, not a single player I would put in my top 10 of great players is in the top ten, go figure. ;D
Team play is a skill I see a few people like Game who seem to think they know it all, and consequently everyones game should revolve around them, if you have to spend your time barking orders at people in a team game then IMO your not really a team player you shoulld stick to 1v1's.
Personally I can understand why people seem to be criticising teamers lately there are some team players I'll gladly play with, Tommy being a good example of someone who asks for stuff and doesn't try and dictate the entire strategy around what he is doing.
There are also some really bad team players who seem to think that leading the strategy is about how loud you can shout, can't comment on game directly never played with him.
If you want to lead then you need to watch every player and listen to every comment, and then base your orders on the whole game situation, barking orders at people and being an ass is not really a good example of leadership or good team play for that matter.
I mean if your playing football you don't go haring round the pitch bad mouthing and demoralising your players, that's just idiotic.

Thank you Sidhe for the example...
Here is Sidhe, never played a teamer with me before. He in turn bases his opinion of me on another player. He in turn makes a negative comment about me based on the opinion he derived from another persons claim. And so the chain continues. The game doesn't revolve around me, the game revolves around the captain of a team and I am generally the captain, without the captain organizing the whole game and people listening, than the team Will lose. You go and think you are talking in general terms about people who bark orders or are asses, but you are indirectly associating that with me and people in turn form an opinion of me. This is what general happens, 1 newbie had an opinion of me which was formed out of their incompetence, 5 people read that and associate me with the negativity and it multiplies with every person and by the end of the thread I am hated by 10 people who have formed an opinion of me based on nothing.
Why do I care? Because every time I go into a game with new players I have to work up hill in getting their cooperation and A person I have never seen or met in my life who reads these peoples comments already has friction with me and it makes it hard to work on a team with them and in a sense their negative perception of me becomes a self for filling prophesy which creates tension between me and that player.
And in terms of taking this game seriously... I am sitting in front of a computer monitor for 3+ hours, I am not just going to go and lose a game, or lose when I can just as easily win. And to those people who say they don't care when they lose when they could of won are full of nuts. People say I take this game seriously when I bark orders when I have a 30 second timer looming over my head and I don't have time to say please or explain why I need something at that moment when if people were working together every turn I wouldn't have to keep explaining things. You follow the tec tree of the captain, if you want to contribute some kind of insight than make your claim, but not until after you have already chose the tec of the captain. If your captain asks you for something in the game, don't just immediately argue with him because you have enemies close to you, analyze what he is saying instead of forcing him to say it 5 times, because any good captain will analyze the board before he makes an order and he is probably taking into account your enemies. But when I generally bark orders at people it isn't when they are being attacked by people and I am being selfish and asking them to kill themselves in order to save me, i bark orders because they are just building or stacking or using a worker to build a mine they are never going to use in the first place. When you get in games with the better players you need full team work and these people who have to much pride to work together have no place in a teamer game. I organize the players on my team together, and some of the time people don't help me when I am getting attacked by multiple people and it forces me to take their attention by spamming commands across the screen...

Don't hate me cause I'm beautiful. I have to agree with most of what MGT states. All players should heed the captions' advice, especially concerning the tech chart. The tech chart is definitely the captions' domain. As far as build order and unit movement a noob should do as he's told and try to learn why. He may find out the captain's not to bright and learn what not to do but still should obey. If both players are close to equal in skill then there could be a debate. It's only a game?? Duh, of course its only a game but I play to compete. I want to do the best I can and improve my play and you bet your :oss I want to win. What's the point in playing if one doesn't care? If you're not going to strive to win and do their best why not just sit in front of the TV and pick you're nose. The only thing I can't figure out is if everyone was playing so poorly, how did your team overcome tommy and redphoenix?

So tell me Sidhe, who are your top 10? Im very interested in knowing who you think deserve to be in the top 10 if not these.
