Never play people that can't keep there mouth shut!!!!! If you play a newbie, don't get mad at them. Newbies are just trying to learn the game. And Ladder player should be more patient with newbies. And players should in my opinion, Never curse them.

Newbs have no souls, in fact, a peer reviewed journal was just released to the science community claiming that Newbs arnt real people. So in theory im thinking they must be like zombies or something and the only way something can be a zombie is to have some kind of curse or virus in them already. Based on the above hypothesis I am going to have to disagree with you and state that it may infact be vital for the survival of reason and everything holy to curse at a newb/on a newb as often as possible in order to exercises the tormented existence residing inside the zombie... Understand?

When i was a kid i admired the poolshark, beeing able to play pool at a level that i had never seen before.
Now that i am a grown up, i have come to realize that the poolshark is in reality the looser, waisting away his life in a poolbar, and that if y want to play pool just for the fun off it, and at the same time, have a real life, you will be a poolnoob, all your life.
Anyone catching my drift here ?

"real life" I don't understand this term. How can someones life be more real than another's? Tamijo, can we hear about your "real life", and what one comprises of?
Pool and many other sports are games of infinite degrees of skill and achievements, and people play there whole life to become the top of the circuit.
There is no comparison to CIV. Any fool can become a good player in short order playing civ, so if you been playing more than a year and are not a decent player, it's not because you have the so called "real life", maybe, it's because you don't pay attention, don't have much analytical sense and in short just aren't too bright.
But of course, this has nothing to do with how someone treats another person. Even those living the "real life" can be a mean spirited S.O.B. know it alls, trying to prove something, and that one would do best to avoid.

Oh no now what shall I tell my wife and kids, I'm a complete failure cause I suck at CIV. lol

Oh no now what shall I tell my wife and kids, I'm a complete failure cause I suck at CIV. lol There are many kinds of intelligence, so not being an expert in one particular area certainly doesn't make you a failure. Also it is clear to me that a person can easily survive in America and probably most off the world without much common sense. Another thing, being great at CIV means absolutely nothing. As I said earlier, any fool can be good a CIV. It' doesn't mean sh:t. It's a completely worthless skill as best I can tell. But... the topic of this post is the about the manner in which a person treated another. A lot a folks don't pay attention as we can see. If a person can't grasp the full extend of what's going on around them, it's hard to improve decision making when confronted with a similar situation in the future.

That was my point, you put it a bit more direct than I did.
BTW there are a diffrence between a poolshark in a bar, husling the guests, and a sportsman, developing skill to compete on a higher level. If y get a bit off teaching, and got no other stuff to do, you can become a poolshark, just as fast as you can become a top civ player.

i dont think so.there is no substantial difference between a poolshark and a sportsman.for example,in china ppl play war3&cs all day long were considered wastrels,however they become sportsman as soon as the national administration of sport lists "electronic sport" as the 99th formal sport.
so,i think anyone can do well in anything proves his personal value,whether it deserves or not deserve the social value.
we come here to play civ,your civ skill is the only standard for your value here.if u suck,u must listen to those good players like martinlee,matlowe,and ofcourse,Mrgametheory.

If y get a bit off teaching, and got no other stuff to do, you can become a poolshark, just as fast as you can become a top civ player. That's simple not true. But I hope you keep spreading that rumor. Guys with lots of money and that frame of mind are always welcome in the pool hall. I suppose you also say that "Anyone can be beaten on any particular day" or some such saying I hear from time to time. CIV is pretty simplistic when compared to other activities. If you gave me a non slow reasonable dedicated person, I could teach him to get over a 60% win ration in CIV cton's in about 3 months. I would say that would probable put him in the top 30% of players. You give me the average eager to learn young person to teach pool to and it would take probably at least 2 years to bring him up to my talent level, if it could be done at all. And to tell the truth, I'm not that great at pool. To try to put it into perspective, Civ has maybe 3 or 4 dimensions. Compared to hustling pool for a living or just extra income, I would say, that has over 1000 dimension. No comparison. To compare the two is really a joke and by you saying that I would beat my life's savings with you in a game of pool, cause it shows you know very little about the game. Would MGT or some of these so called elites bet their entire savings against me in CIV? They may be better than me but the difference between a good player and a top CIV player in this game is very little and a few event could put the game in my favor. In contrast the difference between a good pool player and top player is so vast, you can't even comprehend it, but thats the only reason why some people can make a living at pool. Believe me there's and incredible small number that can and it's a grinding job, not very glamorous. Kinda like most peoples "real life", go to a rough stressful job to put food on the table.

Im new to the whole ladder thing but i dont consider myself a noob. come to think of it ive been reading some of the posts in forums and its so alarming at the way some so called "elites" run their mouf about the game and comparingciv to pool or chess. civ is no way near the class of chess, anybody can play civ in a matter of months and become and elite with some help from the forums . but in the world of chess , studying 8 hrs a day with a coach for 5 hrs is just the beginning. so please civ 4 might be a good strategy game, but please it doesnt have the same planes as say chess or pool. yall need to calm down and play the game. its not that serious.

Necro my dear, you took my metafor far too serius. And if what we are discussing here is Pool, you are right. I'we been living in Redlight copenhagen for 15 years, we dont play pool, but a game very close to that. And y are right is a big diffrence between playing a few hundred games in the youth clup, and beeing a pro. The thing is that i was infact just making a metafor to comfort mr. martin lee; my point was that in most games, and i still belive that is true in civ also, you must dedicate a lot off time to be a top player, is not possible if y got a job a wife a few kids. But that does not mean that you should stop playing, is still fun even if you can not win more than you loose. Same thing with pool and other games. The big diffrence is that in Chess & poole, there is no or very little luck involved, as in civ luck is a factor and will be important if players off same skill plays each other.

luck might be a difference but there are way more strats, and things to learn in civ compared to pool, But to me, pool is just a fun game i play at the pub with maybe few too many beers^^
