I belive it would be fun to have a World Rank (like now) but also a "Rank pr. Timezone" In lets say 3 Zones (US , Tokyo, Berlin) So that you "sign" to your closest timezone.
My point is that its more or less hopeless to get play against people from other timezones, outside weekend play, therefore it would be nice to see how are you dooing in your own zone, the zone with the people you play most.

I have said this many times on these boards and ill say it agian, the people that are high rank literally play night and day. So not being able to catch them is nonsense. Unless of course you have a very narrow time frame, ie 5am-1pm CET, all other times you can easily climb rank should you wish to do so.
The some members of the "super active" crew play 9-12 hours in a day(Not always all at the same time either), that pretty much covers all time zones that has more then a handfull of active players. Would be crazy to totally rearrange the ladder for a handfull of players.
I dont see were this time zone nonsense argument came from, oh yeah Mr Nonsense himself, Sidhe. Look at the stop 20 now, i see 6 US people and 10 Euros (about 4-5 unknown), and seeing Euros play alot more this seems to be a pretty healthy distribution. Even if you are in Japan, you can still catch the ranked players, if you start a game between 8pm and 11pm (Japan time), that seems like a very reasonable time to start a game.

Actually it's not me who came up with it, it's the poor souls living in the dead zone, and that Euro-Us timezone is not the time Zone which experiences discrimination, it is the Asian time zone stretching from the ural mountains(Ie all of asia including some middle Eastern countries, if they in fact play ) to Hawai, and yes it does discriminate and no I'm hardy the first person to say it, and no I wont be the last. If you want to go to the OG to say it I'd say it was probably a host of Aussie players on the last thread about how useless cases is. There have been many. People think I am the original antichrist, oh no, this demon has raised it's head since the beginning of the ladders history, again and again and again. whooohahahahahaha sorry I'm not the route of all evil, cases is. civ4players.proboards44.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=1143549774&page=7There's the original post,in case you missed what I said, as it seems to be the case. Next.

Why cant people from Asia play in the time frame i mentioned above? 8pm-11pm?
Alot of high rank people are on then
EDIT:: Or any time after this time frame if you dont have work the next morning. But even if you do work the time frame mentioned above is reasonable...no?
Another EDIT:: What tamijo is basiclly asking for is a seperate ladder, no one can stop him making one. But im not sure a 10 man ladder is even a ladder.

Do the math 8pm to 11pm leaves Asia(55% of the wordls population, not including non asians, man about 65%) the whole continent et al in the dead zone. In Europe we're fine. further east as I mentioned from the Ural mountains, your talking dead time. Really I'm not making this up, we have alot of Australian players in the clan I belong too that have no real chance, unless they give up there normal sleeping patterns to get in the US/Europe zones ladder. This is Cases biggest problem, and sadly it takes a UK citizen to point it out. We had no chance to play the Sunday events in CCC, because half of our clan is Australian, praise them all there all good fellas. Think about it?
I think what he's asking for is parity, what your saying is Cases is fair to him, you're in danger of swallowing your foot whole.

What your really saying is that the largest population segment in the world just doesn't have a critical mass of Civ4 players, that is hardly Cases/Myleagues fault. If I was a Aussie Civ4 MPer I'd be actively pushing the game to every "mate" I have. If Korea/Taiwan/Japan/Austrailia and NZ, don't have Civ4 penetration that is not Cases fault, it maybe Take2's fault for not selling the game aggressively enough in those markets. CS

What tamijo is asking for wouldn't be too hard to accommodate. All that would need to be done is for all players to voluntarily classify themselves into one of the 3 major time areas. Where all the different categories of top 50 players is listed just add the Japan/Aussie, U.S. and Euro options. Problem solved.
Of course then there'll probably be complaints like why is it called the Euro zone when I'm playing here in Egypt. Or why is it called the U.S. zone when I'm on my computer here in Guatemala. Or you might even get the complaint, why is it called Japan/Aussie zone when I'm a player from Mongolia.
As long as your doing that, you might as well make a CCC for all the major zones so as not to discriminate. I understand now that Myleague is nothing more than a shill of the west. A puppet organization with no backbone of it's own. If we don't stand up and speak out against Myleagues behavior on this issue, where will it all end. The western culture will dominate the world.
This is getting a little silly. I'm getting tired. Sidme, please take over the silliness for me.
You may never make #1 of myleague ladder Sidme, but you'll always be the #1 goofball in my book. So far, you have a 98 ridiculous post streak going. Now That's showing some real skill in the art of nonsense. That foolishness rating is also very impressive.
