Why do noobs have to come here and cry? Fact is you weasled your way into a game and ruined it for everyone. The people that you ruined game for should be the one's crying. I love these forums though. More noobs coming out of woodwork to defend fellow noobs. Why don't earl and all his defenders just play together? There are plenty of noobs on the ladder to play your own games. PM Gabrie1 in lobby he hosts noob teamers all the time Strepto u noob , how u dare to call others noob ? I subed (submurine) u in reny OCC and wot i find? 10 wariors 20 turns before end of game , non connected iron and u had ironworks, not connected gems , bronze.... U runied OCC with those game style. Woumans plz dont play OCC cton if u dont kno main things go and play nobs teamers, build 4-5 cites and slave stacks ROFL...

Noobs will always be noobs, thanks my saying and I will stick to it. Earl you have always sucked at civ and honestly if you haven't got any better after 2 years of playing the game you may want to take an IQ test because the game isn't that hard. If some players say your a noob you are a noob. Please take the time learn the basics. After every loss I generally look at things I could have differently to avoid the loss. You act as if the Civ3 ladder was healthy?? Are you kidding me dude, Civ 3 MP was a complete joke dude and the players who were playing are terrible gamers, yes terrible gamers. Why this ladder continues to associate itself with civ3 is beyond me. Most ppl have moved on, yet we have admins and tourney directors that haven't. Also, Earl you act as if your a valuable member of the civ4 community, lol? Would the ladder be better off if I left?, Mookie?, Geforced, MLL, aahhhh no ? Seriously no one cares about these threads? It is a pathetic reach for help for the infinite amount of noobness you have shown in your time on the ladder, I think it is. Anyways, the civ4 ladder isn't growing because of the terrible leadership that has taken over after SPM handed his it to CS. I see no growth, I see no vision for Civilization MP, yet we hand our power over to people like CS and DTA who don't know a god damn thing about running a ladder. For godsakes you made levi a damn tourney admin are you kidding me? ? Well Met, feel free to start your own league if you think you can do a better job. The leadership here is not the problem, the admin and TD's are doing our job. (and we even have the foresight to create better software when given the opportunity) The problem as Shot has stated, is players like you that instead of teaching and mentoring other players you berate them. You spend your time extolling how good you are and how much other people suck. I don't suppose you noticed the text on the main page about how this ladder is about being a fun and competitive place that doesn't place winning ahead of everything?The success or failure of this league is and has always been in the hands of it's players, you can promote growth by teaching the new players or you can destroy it by sitting around treating new players like crap to make yourself feel better, and then blame the admins and TD's for the failure of the ladder.....feel free, what ever makes sleep well at night. CS As u mentioned about, Admins see problems. Wot admins done about it Nothing... Insted of boxing those woumans admins done nothing. THIS IS LEADERSHIPS PROBLEM AND METT HAVE RIGHT ABOUT LEADERSHIP. If someone abuse others in game or loby and broke those rule about 'we respect each other' boxing is right way. But...dear admins u close your eyes and now we have wot we have.

Why do noobs have to come here and cry? For the same reason that you continually demonstrate their point; here, in the lobby, or in a game. Kind of like Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction - if you don't like the reaction, don't make the action. When you joined, if everyone treated you like you treat them, you wouldn't even be here. When people like you stop, I'm sure topics like this will no longer appear

I don't think Earl ever claimed to be a Top player, he just says he's seen too much rude behaviour among ladder members and you just prove he's right. And admins and TDs do the hard work... what are the valuable actions you did to the community, metallian ? Bashing noobs ? Playing Elite games with your elite friends ? We sometimes take this too seriously and a "noob" won't improve if everyone just shout at new players. And a noob has the right to play teamers too whatever you think... I think you don't play with new players anymore so no need to be angry at them... btw are you still playing ? If you want to bash me in return, no need, I'm not a top player, will never be even though I've played much, but I'll try and kick some elite ass whenever I can ;D A new ladder system will soon appear thanks to some active players and I hope it will be the begining of a new era for the international ladder. Thankyou Eiffel, you took the words right out of my mouth. But, remind me to never be your neighbor in an OCC game. ;D

I personally quit civ4 cause I was being called stupid when dying in a 4v4 renaissance.
It's a game folks. This being said, there is something wrong with a game if an early death seals the other teams faith. Makes it impossible for comebacks and such. should be more interesting than that.

Earl, It’s a shame you left due to abuse by smacktards. It is unfortunate that this community has members that are ungrateful and verbally abusive. I realize not everyone is cut out to be a TD, but I thought you were. The community will miss you. I have been a Civ TD for a long time. I was the first head TD in civ3, and between civ3 and civ4, I have probably run more civ tournaments than anyone in the world, making me probably the single most qualified TD available, yet still I get comments like… For godsakes you made levi a damn tourney admin are you kidding me? ? If I let the smacktards bother me, I would have quit a long time ago. These ungrateful slobs do not represent the majority of players. They usually have a personal vendetta and will take any opportunity to bash the Admin or TD that they dislike. This is just the reality of the online world, and shows the dark side of human nature. Smacktards like these do not recognize the vast number of hours TD and Admins put into this ladder. They do not recognize the TDs and Admins often are not able to devote themselves entirely to becoming one of the elite players simply because their time is spent working instead of playing. They do not recognize the sacrifices that every Admin and TD makes to try to make this ladder better for the entire community. They are also the last to volunteer any of their time to help run the ladder or a tournament, and if they did, they would suck at it. Met: I could not agree more with what you say about Levi as Head TD - hardly impartial (political differences aside). This one accuses me of not being impartial despite the fact that I refuse to join any clan to maintain my impartiality, regardless that I personally miss the comradery and many of the playing tips that clannies could pass on to me. The point of this is if you want to survive as a TD or an Admin, you have to pretty much ignore the stupid comments of the smacktards. If you can’t take the personal attacks and insults, then you won’t be a successful TD or Admin.

The main problem is that about 70% of new players think they are actually good, and refuse to listen to players that have at least some vague clue how to play (like me). When I first started I listened to everything anybody ever told me, even asked where to plant every city until they told me to shut up. One new player entering a game who refuses to listen in a 5v5 game, his team will probably lose 80% of the time. It just ruins the game for more experienced players. I hate ignoring people when they ask for the pw, but I hate it even more when a new player ruins a game and dies to a warrior/archer /longbow. I feel exactly this way. I always help a new player on my team, but when they don't listen or even start talking shiz back at you like they are amazing it gets old fast. It's especially bad when it involves a player that has been playing forever but still sucks horribly, like drshot for example, where he really won't listen to much of anything you tell him and despite the fact that his way consistently loses he still maintains that he makes the best choices, so he will never improve. Then theres a guy like scorpioman who is not only one of the worst players ever to play civ but even picks fights with people when they call him on it. Not fun imo. I feel that if you play in a teamer you should be listening to your teammates at least a little and if you suck probably should listen alot, otherwise you should play only 1x1 and ctons. One problem here is that almost all teamers are set to blazing which is a little insane for trying to help anyone. I can hardly move my own shiz around let alone tell someone else what is an optimal move while also managing my own. You might wrap your bad play under the guise of "I don't really try" or "It's just a game I am just having fun" but in reality the objective is to win, and when you undermine your teams success through ornery nooblike play without any attempt to improve yourself then you are ruining the game for the rest.

Atomation-> Well, many may not realize that you are missladyluck.
That alone is laughable that you say you 'try to assist ' players.
What a load of crap. You are one of, if not the largest over inflated self rightous members on the ladder. Your ideas go no further than what units someone "must" make and send to you, ususally settler and worker combos early then military units later. Bet it is not hard to win when you have your entire teams army at your personal disposal. What do you" think" ( rofl - I equated you with thinking, I was joking, we know you are strictly a knee-jerk sort of personality w/o the ability to think.) happens when someone takes all your units leaving cities vulnrable and weak because MML has demanded all troops for his glory.
You are a sorry sight( litterally, who else post 14 pic's of themself in the forum HOLY VAINITY CRISIS BATMAN!), a sore loser and over rated. You do suck, but your an ok civ'r, granted.
If everyone and everything is so terrible go somewhere else. You should create a 'I'm leaving' thread as I doubt anyone would notice otherwise. Good riddence.

OMG Levi, just what planet do you live on, surely even you can’t be this delusional. What in gods name has experience got to do with setting up a tourney? It doesn't get better the more you do it, either you set one up or you dont. Its a standard procedure!
The only small skill it does take is to make fair, impartial, decisions which you totally suck at, and you have shown this to be true again and again. (Also choosing popular events take a little skill, I guess, but this is done with a vote because you have no clue what people play). Yep you are a great HTD!
The thing is most games dont need TD/admin intervention but the ones that do, rest assured Levi will make a pigs ear of it (Even with your vast "sitting in the lobby experience").
Anyone that actually plays the game knows what you are like, the only people that think you are doing a good job are those that you chat with in the lobby (non-playing lobby noobs).
This is a total joke! Not all admin/TD suck, at least 2 I can think of, probably more, are very strong players. Also you host like 1 tourney every 2 weeks or so, and you spend countless hours spamming the lobby, you have way way way more then enough time to stop sucking! You just like playing headmaster, thats all it comes down to.
Moving on ... IMO when most people read this thread they were like ... who? This is rather annoying, an unknown player preaching! What if came to America and started teaching you guys about American football after watching 1 game?
Lastly ... I dont buy this cr@p about experienced players dont teach newer players. I can think of 2 examples, im sure there are many more, of players being on the ladder for only 2 months and being very solid players.
But the sad thing is I can think of many more examples of people playing like they did 2 years ago. Simply put its a learning defect, i know that sounds harsh, but its true. I used to know a kid at school, who used to revise round the clock and still got cr@p grades, this is the exact same thing - He seemed very normal to talk to btw. Its how the brain works, some people are better at creative things, some at number crunching and some are just crap at both ... sad but true!

Levi, seriously you need to spend your time doing something else because you can't make an unbiased decision to save your life. Your tourney decisions are based on pure emotion. For example what happened in the last CCC with 1v1 tourney you directed. Levi, you are alot like myself in that your hothead who whenever someone talks nuts to you feel to add to the fire rather than defuse it, but unlike you I don't ask the admins for more power and sit in the lobby spamming the lobby with bs. I have no idea why you continue to be tourney director in game your no nothing about and with a community where everyone thinks your a joke.

I love you Marr, ahahahaha remember that time I was looking in your window and watching you play civ that one night just to watch the greatest player in the world at work and you called the cops on me and I had to go to jail for a long time, I felt so special just to be that close to you even if it was for a few minutes. Come back soon Marr!!! Your the bestest ever!!!!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Tired of newbs always polluting your message board with nonsense? Sick of newbs wasting your time with worthless information? Fed up with newbs creating fake names and joining your beautiful hosted game, just to ruin it on turn 70 by dieing to a warrior? If you have answered yes to 1 of the above you are not alone. What you have witnessed is someone suffering from a disease called Newbptococcus. Discovered in the first part of the 21st century, this disease was named after one of its first victims. This disease is hereditary and there is no cure. Ailments sometimes wont manifest until later on in its victims lives and the disease is known for ravaging its victims rationality and forcing them to make decisions so worthless and wretched a new word had to be invented in order to accurately explain the actions of a person who suffers from the disease and that word is “Newb.” As a culture we must stop this horrible disease and provide a means to stop this terrible epidemic from spreading!!! Take action now! Vote for proposition 188!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Proposition 188 will make it mandatory for all newbs to be spayed or neutered before being permitted to start a thread or enter a ladder teamer. Proposition 188 will also pay to send lestat, MVV, or earl harewood to the homes of all people diagnosed with Newbptococcus in order to discourage them from living by showing them first hand the long term effects of newberdom. Proposition 188 will also force all living newbs to add 23782, leeeet or (Newb Thing / nt for short) to the ends of their names in order to clearly distinguish them as newbs and give warning to all potential victims. Let the Tyranny of Newbidity end now!!!!!!!!! Vote for prop 188!!!! And remember, if your not part of the solution, your a newb. I am MrGameTheory and I approve this message. "Paid for by the campaign tobeatdownyourfellownewb " --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I remember when your only explanation to lose to me in 1-1 mirror with mali vs germany that I must have cheated, I think u even tried to report me.
I really think that these guys who think they are elites and therefore try tell every1 what to do instead improving their own game are a huge problem. This resulted in every1 improving a bit to try talk "big", I allways wonder when some1 whom I never heard off try to tell me what to do in an ancient teamer.
If some1 is doing some huge misstake like not building a worker even at size 3 and when totaly safe I tell him to think about building worker - but I see others who try to tell people every warrior move. Thats just anyoing and nothing else.
