Well we can rehash the open vs invite debate again but I don't think the evidence has changed since the last time. One day doesn't make a statistic, we have mantained 1200+ members for weeks now despite dailly fluxuations, and have maintained 13K-15K matches per month since May. The last time we went invite only we dropped to under 800 members and struggled to get 8-10K matches in a month. Yes some people join and then leave, the competitive ladder games are not for everyone. But the long term statistics show that some of those people do stay and for some reason people are really intimidated by having to go threw the invite process.

its a nuisance imo. luckily there low ranking ppl a nd we should diff. identify these ppl and not play with them. yes they may get a couple of games with well known ppl but we must stay active in remembering who to play and who not to play

CS Have to say when I was on the outside looking in I really hated the invite process. This is more for Civ3 when my account kept on keeping purged for inactivity...hey it was only like 40 days or something similar.

I Emailed SPM and the ladder Admins 1st i didnt quit with owing any reports so whats the problem oh - just a rules thing - but you ARE allowed one admin blessed "exemption/warning" per year. 16. DO NOT REJOIN WITHIN 15 DAYS: To alleviate the perception that members may be quitting and rejoining the ladder (under the same or different user name) to avoid bad play records or avoiding reporting old losses, members will have to wait 15 days to rejoin the ladder. At the discretion of the Ladder Admin Board, an individual may receive one (and only one per year) exemption/warning before the 15 day suspension takes effectIt's something you seemed to focus on. a lot. WAY lots, lol.

Yes Bantams asked for my permission to rejoin in under the 15 day limit, which is much better than me finding out after CS

I just think it's funny that you hate Civ so much that you quit the ladder and then need to email admins to get reinstated after just a few days. ;D

So you get an admin to waive the 15 day rejoin wait and then you get an admin to waive the 7 day name change wait.

Ah ok - you changed your name by rejoining the ladder with Bantams is now King_Ant[/i] and then you had a little admin help (AGAIN, lol) in changing it back to Bantams.
Thankfully the admins are helpful people and can offer their so often needed assistance to you - this is the second time for those VVV'ery difficult laddername accounts, ROFL!

I just find it really amusing that the guy who takes it as his purpose to report every little going on in the daily results gets admin-assistance in quitting and rejoining the ladder and now twice on name changes (which go unreported when an admin does it for you).

no matter really, he tried to go back to C3 and was given the normal "warm and gracious welcome" over there and left due to their overwhelming kindness. (yet the players there seemed SOMEWHAT concerned about the growth and future of their C3 ladder)
Welcome back to "Adult Swim" Bantams!
