This league has been over run with sh$t talkin little b$tch@s. Its got to the point to where u can't even start a game without picking teams 10 times. Everyone thinks there so dam awsome. You ppl really need to get over yourselfs. Maybe we need 2 leagues, one for clanners and the other for ppl w/ lives. I can no longer take the poor sports crying thier rivers when they loose. ITS A GOD D@M GAME!!!! I'm gunna go play space rangers 2.
peace out

That's sad to hear. I don't play many teamers, but I had thought that players had gotten better about their b!tching. I agree that some players seem to take this game way too seriously and need to lighten up if things don't go his/her way. I remember in my noobier days, I played some teamers with some pretty good players. When I was taken out early, I got an earful from the vets, saying that I suck or being called noob or whatever, and getting told to go back to ctons. So, I took that advice and that's what I've mostly played. In the teamers I've played recently, yeah, there's banter going back and forth between teammates and opponents, but not like what I've heard in the past. Maybe I'm wrong. I'm on hiatus from civ too, but not for the same reasons. I just got bored. Scott

ITS A GOD D@M GAME!!!! I'm gunna go play space rangers 2. peace out I see where you're coming from Jesus. But 1. It isn't everybody and 2. I think it's a kind of a culture thing, if ur in the big clans ur expected to act this way, sad, but that's how I see it. I find myself bossing teamates around a bit too much from time to time. But all this bitching and noob name-calling is totally out of line. No one but no-one loses on purpose (except may be civdiva ). If someone has let you into their passworded game then they should accept any consequences. It's totally unfair and downright demeaning to treat fellow players in this way. Like you say - it's just a game. Losing sucks but it really doesn't matter. Some losses are quite funny, or you just gotta sit back and say well played. The games I really don't enjoy is where I mess it up, if someone else did it at least it isn't my fault . Having said all that I don't think things are gonna change in a hurry, so if u skip civ i don't blame u. All the best 2 u.

I avoid teamer as much as possible, only playing when there is nothing else and I need a fix. There are about 3 or 4 players out there that wont be named to cause this aversion. If I played more often I'm sure there would be many more on my list.
Another reason is most teamers are late era and I don't care for the 2 and 3 settler starts with city building already in newly planted cities, but that is for another thread.
Just to give you some background on myself. By some freak of nature, and many days with no sleep, I ended up becoming a #1 rank member of the c3c ladder and was in the top ten often for about 4 to 6 months so I was captain, quit a bit, for while there. I never told anyone they were stupid and that they didn't deserve to play in teamers. I would merely make metal notes of their skill and playing style for later picking of teams.
I used to like going back and reviewing saves of great players and not so great player, to see what I could learn. Thats not an option with CIV, but you can watch while they play, even though I find it harder to pay attention while I'm playing in a game.
Some people would think my picking was abysmal but while I was doing most of the captaining my teams did pretty well(way over 50%). There was this one guy who would always pm me and laugh about how bad we were going to get beat this time, but after we won, I would ask him, how did my terrible team happened to win again. His response was he couldn't figure it out, basically. The answer is simple I studied players skill, playing style and what civ they played well, to put together a well balanced team. And I would also passover many players who people thought were good, for what ever reason, usually cause said person claimed it about themselves, but were just mediocre players, for a less known player. Another thing is just because 2 people suck, or noobs, one is always a slight level better than the other and always picking the correct one can make a difference in the long run. It's also good to know which players are putting in the time and improving quickly.
In summation, a captain never has the right to complain, especially with this 1-2-2-1-1-2-2-1 style of picking, which couldn't be more fair for second captain, except maybe elrad style. You made your picks, so if you picked an idiot, then I guess you must be an idiot for picking him. Just wisen up and don't pick him next time.
On a side not we could always play teamers without the team function on and just sign open boarder and alliance pacts with you teammates and trade techs and maps. This way you wouldn't have to view this noob ruin your life by getting killed.

See, you all got poor Bantams self-esteem down to almost zero. Now, he might have to seek counseling for depression, paranoia, anxiety and hyper-sensitivity.

Im Crap never said i wasnt Oh and i wasnt in any teamer dont blame me Yeah batams this thread was about you, like most of the others are! This is pure sidhe-ness! Everyday im more and more sure you are sidhe! Back on topic, Im sure this isnt a problem during the day, there are 2-3 groups of players depending on time zone. The morning time people seems to play with little or no problems, very rarly any arguments or even disagreements. But in the evening its totally diffrent! Jesus if possible maybe try playing around 12-6 GMT, who know you may change your mind

IMO, there is not a more vulgar sounding thing you can call someone without using a curse word then douche bag.
Gotta love the phrase douche bag.
Pond scum is a good one too but doesn't have the same zing to it.
Anyone out there have some other good examples of non profane put downs with some punch that can top douche bag.

Hmmm....well, I'll spare some people any comments. I'll flat out leave a game when certain people join. I bet I don't get any kind words from these individuals after I leave.
I may not be in the top tier of this community, but I know when times is about to be wasted. Granted, this game is probably a waste of my time, but I'd like to enjoy it. Not be cursing for 30 min to 4 hours. It's just that simple.
It's the same argument over and over when it comes to picking teams. I suggest you take up poker and look into pot odds. The same principle applies when trying to pick teams. There's always a luck factor involved, but some people are just known for going all in way too damn much and blowing things for your team.

Its hard to explain what i mean, sure people are rude and they get just as pissed off when people make mistakes but they are fogotten about. Generally less disagreements and arguing, about mistakes sure but more importantly about other stuff! People just generally seem less petty! Its hard to explain, but better atmosphere for sure IMO. Maybe its just coincidance! Who knows!

Not sure what you mean here but I think atmospheres same and I don't think time really has much of an impact on whether you get a good or a bad teamer. I know why jesus is mad and I personally think he's overreacting. He was ridiculed for slaving and vassalage. I think it would be a good oppurtinuty for him to step up his game and learn new strategies instead of his same old one that people have learned to defend against easily. There is about a 2% chance of it working and that's only if the person doesn't have phants, copper, iron...can't be traded any of them, and has absolutely no forests to chop longbows (against a good player not some noob who is building 8 settlers with no units on front city ). People just get sick of same thing not working over and over. Slave smart!
