Is there no way to get WarningU2 back?
Working in background and some strings to Firaxis is what we need to have lil chance on a improved game, looks like i m not the only 1 who stoped playing after warlords release. I said it often and ll do it again, the game needs TECHNICAL MP IMPROVEMENTS AND MP TESTING.
Oh ya congrats lh, hope u have fun and do some work

I personally dont think we need more admins or EU admins!
Im not sure what it will achive! How does it effect the game in anyway, to have an admin in the lobby?
IF the ladder/MP is failing it because of the game, nothing to so with the admins, i have not seen a major issue between admins and the players! I would say 1/100 games requires an admin decision, maybe less.

for one i have never seen a multiplayer game have so many issues as civ, most have no technical problems at all, except for anti-cheat.

You don't need an admin in the lobby for that. TBH I got bored of chasing up non reports so I don't bother now. Anyways, like Tony, I don't see how an EU admin would radically improve my enjoyement of Civ 4 ladder play. And Germania if you see it as such a huge issue the why don't you offer your own services. Why do you complain in the forums and who are you complaining to? It must just be that the European players dont wanna admin. What can you do? Nothing.

I said it often and ll do it again, the game needs TECHNICAL MP IMPROVEMENTS AND MP TESTING. Oh ya congrats lh, hope u have fun and do some work Tommy, WU2 did do alot of "grunt work" in the background, for which we all were glad to have. But your statement about testing the game has nothing to do with WU2, the ladder has lots of Admins that have easy access to Firaxis, and our voices are heard, but sometimes there are other factors that prevent us getting what we want all the time. But believe me the game would be much worse off for MP if all the ladderites were not on the beta test. As to the bugs, I'll agree they obviously were not tested enough, but to be fair, the testers didn't know as much about the code changes to MP as 99% of WL's was taylored for SP, and only as a side effect does it make for better MP strategy. Fried managed some 11th hour candy for us, like anonyous play etc. Much will be fixed in a planned patch, so for the $30cdn that WL's costs I really think that it is worth it for the enjoyment. I do not believe the decrease in match reports is because of the bugs as much as it is a byproduct of spliting our MPers between two lobbies and I'm starting to think that Cases server problems are really cutting down on our new player input as well. But these are all temporary and the ladder will continue to do well far into the future. So get the darn game Tommy and join the fun CS

I don't want to overextend myself by giving the false impression that I want the job (I don't), but what do the admins look for in a new admin?
Does the position require one have connections with Firaxis and GS, webmaster experience, or just being a help to others in the lobby?

Does the position require one have connections with Firaxis and GS, webmaster experience, or just being a help to others in the lobby? What we generally look for is mature Civ addicts that have demostrated that they are patient, dedicated, and mature(in the way they act), having some computer skills is a plus, but training can and is provided as well. Basically being an admin can be a trying and thankless job at times and you have to have some thick skin and a strong back and shoulders. And good writing skills is also an asset. Some people(esp at C3P) feel that electing admins is the best way, ergo if your popular you get to be an admin, but I feel that as long as we serve the ladder players effectively, the best people to chose the next admins are the current ones that know the job and all it entails.

CS It sure is a thankless job you guys are doing, so let me be one to say, "thx," to all admins. You get no pay, and the only reward you get is the satisfaction of contributing to the community of the game you love. I agree with the recruiting policy of Civ4 Players. The key to admission should not be a popularity contest judged by players who have no idea what it's like. After all, there comes a time when an elected admin will have to rule against players who voted for him/her.
