Why are people that cant speak english encouraged to join the ladder, outside the CCC?
I posted a screenshot of some spanish guy that didnt know a word of english and now I have just finished a game with the same situation. Teamers are about team work and coordinated attacks, not 4*cton.
There is a whole section of this forum in french, IMO if your english is not good enough to send an Email saying something like "i would like to join the ladder" you shouldnt join at all.
I really dont mind playing with new player, but players that cant speak english is something else. I'm not expecting a phd in english literature, but very very basic english is a must!
damm never been so fustrated in a game!

i think everyone regardless of their country of origin should be able to join the ladder if they want. It would probably be a good idea for the new ladder page to have the RULES SECTION in various languages from the main countries that play MP. I have found myself and seen others many times use internet translators which do a good job for the most part on bridging the language gap BUT the ladder shouldn't force its players to spend 20 minutes in a game explaining the rules to some noob who won't stop building that settler on turn 1 either.

We are a bit ahead of there. We have already place the new site with English, German, and French although the complete localization is not near complete. If more languages are needed or wanted then we will need someone that knows that language well enough to translate all the text for us. PS, Tony engish is actually spelled english. Wish these members knew at least a little English.

Well anyone that actually plays this game, and i dont mean sits in the lobby from time to time, will know this can be fustrating.
I just hope, that those that say its not a problem, will one day play the game and see the fustration for themself.
Even the amount of english lestat speaks is fine, but some speak even less, generally those from the french ladder - which happen to be registed because of CCC. Dont get me wrong 95% of the french ladder speak just fine and add vital numbers to the daily results, its the remaining 5%.
I try my best not to be rude, but just trust me ... Nothing on the ladder is potentially more fustrating then this, when you experiance it, youll see what i mean.

But hosts should be more careful and not let these people join teamers. If they don't speak english, then obviously they can't be a part of an english-speaking team.
