I think a much better test is 50 games played and the ability to write the sentence "i'm a good player and i feel like i can learn fast without being a drag on my team, can i join you guys for one if you need an extra?" without mispelling anything.
That worked for me, but I imagine it might be too exclusive a criterion, because I apparently have yet to see anyone else who can do it.

Hey, you can manage, but if someone PMed that to me to join a game I would just about crap myself with amazement. Hell, I'd pick them first.
So far the closest anyone's come is "whats the password plz i want to play now" and usually the win percentage is closer to 30% on 40 games played. Or just good old unranked.

There's one problem with that Elledge. I have notice since I have lived on this earth that some people will say anything to get what they want. Also many people over estimate themselves and the time it will take them to become a person of high skill at an activity.
My standards may be a little to stringent but their stats should show that have at least the basics down.
I'm a convert on this issue. I used to figure, let em all in, and let the chips fall where they may. But know I see the light. If one gets the noob on their team they just demand a re-pick. That equals a greater chance of more time wasted if a noobs gets into the staging room.

Necro, my point is that anyone with the intelligence to put together a sentence like that and understand why it's useful has the intelligence to be in the top 5% of Civ4 players after a few games. It's not a difficult game to get the hang of.

Who needs intelligence to be good at Civ 4? All it takes is to have had atleast 1 hot exgirlfriend (Which "YOU" dumped) who made it as a model heh
