Are there any worse words to hear during a teamer than this? Just had to scrap a game 3 hours and about 70 turns into it because 2 players quit and no subs were available in the lobby. It's one thing to quit a cton, you can just report to all, but when you quit a teamer you are screwing everyone in the game. I'm a pretty reasonable guy, and if there is a good excuse for needing to leave, I am fully supportive of it. But when you start a game late at night and realize that you should probably be sleeping instead of playing Civ, that is no one's fault but your own. There is no easier way to get on my do not play list than pulling crap like this ... and some people wonder why most teamers have passwords on them? Same thing happened last night too .

it's happening more and more.
i play cton mainly and yes it's a lot less critical but it is irritating and does effect the game having an ai.
i thought the whole point of ladder was this doesnt happen

It's pretty imba in a cton. Having an AI next to you is kinda half of a free pass to victory.

They should report losses to everyone in a game, including their own team, if they quit without finding a sub first.

It s a rule they they have to not a should .. The need to report every1 and a bad reputaition is all ladder can do to tackle quitters (for whatever reason)

Maybe Quitters could be forced to report twice to all players in the game that might put them off quitting

A bad rep is the worst thing you can do to someone, reports are hardly worth anything, epecially for those that reset stats often.
But what you lot have to understand is, this is a game and things can come up which mean you have to leave. An example being about 2 weeks ago i was in a ren teamer, before the game started i was like i only have 3.5 hours which should be more then enough, but after relaod, bugs, taking 40 mins to pick teams etc. I had to go football practise, so i left and reported.
But the piont being no one can set aside 6 hours to play a standard game, well some people can but not everyone. So when i had a spear 3.5 hours i thought it was enough and should have been.
Also some people get fustrated and leave, i dont do this myself but i can fully understand those that do. I was in a game a couple of weeks ago this is what happen, waited 30 mins for the game to fill up then another 30 to pick teams, then that host crash BS, then just generally a buggy game with a few relaods. With 50 turns to go the game was no longer a game, it became harder work, then work. But because 1 team was winning in pionts, they didnt want a scrap. Was a real nighmare of a game.
It was after this game i withdrew from the ladder

Life happens indeed....
When a player leaves a teamer. The player MUST report to all those left in the game. If the player does not, file a non report, I can guarantee they will either quickly learn to do so next time or see themselves playing alot of open games.
Once a player leaves a teamer. The rest involved look for a suitable replacement/sub. Someone of similar skill. The new sub coming in has nothing to lose. The sub gets all his reports if he wins....and does not have to report in the advent of a loss.
So recap.
1-Player leaving reports to all 2-Suitable sub 3-Sub gets win not loses
AND FILE YOUR NONREPORTS if ya want my help setting them straight. I get emails.....
ex- 6man cton player A leaves and never reports. Where are the other 4 non reports? So please file. 24-hours after match send reminder email 24-hours later file non report
I'll have your report in 48 hours after you file. The 48 hours period is to allow a player to explain, to report or to contest.
