the lobby is full... speaker has just has discon message while hosting a 7v7 in staging. i decide to put up my own game.. and stick a password on there. i limit it to 5v5
i tell 9 people the password.. the first 9 to contact me. then, 2 of the players simoutaneously drop from staging. we naturally decide to wait. during this time, pbb decides to ask me if he can join the seemingly 8/10 game
bantams then comes up with this: [KC]Bantams: in the ladder rules you cant say no to a player when the game isnt full [KC]Bantams: so let pre in Rokkitlauncher: how about no Rokkitlauncher: we are full !! [KC]Bantams: how about go f**k speaker then
im not sure what exactly happened here.. however later on in the conversation, bantams threatens to have me booted off the ladder.
a) bantams isnt an admin and cant boot me off b) the host has a right to choose who plays in his game c) players who drop should be allowed back in d) no excuse for (i) saying bad things about me (ii) saying bad things about Speaker?!
in conclusion.. wtf did i do to get this response, and why should i be deleted from the ladder?

you CAN permit anyone you want into a ladder game
others CAN agree or disagree with you
behavior is always a personal choice

You should just follow the MRGameTheory Law of Non-acknowledgment and you wont have these problems. If a player isn't great at civ 4, just understand the truth that they don't exist. It feels a little strange at first, but don't fear, the strange feeling is just your ignorance clawing to survive. After the first hurdle is passed your mind wont even register 99% of the text appearing on the screen and you get to engage in the bliss of sitting in a calm empty lobby with the occasion bit of text coming up every once in awhile and participating in matches worth playing. If only I had the will power to hold true to this theory all the time

If only I had the will power to hold true to this theory all the time MGT, you are hilarious. I may not always think you are the best teammate due to our often conflicting styles of play, but you just cracked me up.

CS I´ve seen a member of RaY whos also a admin write way worse things to tommy in a ongoing CCC game. So IMHO tommys posts are very soft compared to that.

3: I Didnt know it was A rehosted game and one of my fellow clanies was asking for the pw and got no reply There are a lot of reasons why someone doesn't get a reply when they ask for a PW, many of which involve the person who received the message being AFK. If you don't receive an immediate reply to a message it's not an excuse to drop all manners and start treating others poorly. In fact, your fellow clanmate PM'd me for the password, and I apologized to him and let him know that we were full and that the open spots appeared due to a GameSpy connectivity issue. Problem solved without anyone getting harassed by you via PM. In general, the complete lack of respect and good sportsmanship that currently runs rampant on this ladder is draining away any desire I have to play this game. Just about every game I try to play in features: 1) One of the two highest ranks players in the game bitching about having to be captain. This often extends time in the staging room by 30 mintues. 2) One or more players talking crap about someone who is not in the game. 3) When I decide to pass on a game for whatever reason (it's too late, I'm doing something else, etc.), I'm informed by some friends in the game that others in that game are talking crap about me behind my back while I'm not in the game. 4) Someone on a "team" (I use the term very loosely) playing a cton against his or her teammates and refusing to follow the team strategy or generally do anything that would remotely resemble teamwork. Add all this to people like Bantams flipping out on Rokkit and Speaker for no good reason without having all (or any?) of the facts and the whole Admin-bashing over the MGT AFK controversy, and what you get is not a very fun atmosphere in which to play a video game.
