Please don't put my name on that list. I'm staying out of this... because honestly I don't care who runs the ladder while CS is away. If I ever thought the ladder was so bad, I'd quit it... As it is now I'm to a point that I don't care about the game I'm in, I just do things out of habit. So if I ever quit a game out of the blue, it's probably from apathy. PS - Is DTA active enough to run the ladder while you are gone? In fact it looks like longhorn and moineau are the only active admins around.... but longhorn has a bit of a temper I suppose active player doesn't mean they're not active in Admin forums and emails. Oh well w/e DTA doesn't have much time to play other than the occasional KC game, but that isn't what I need him to do, he is very busy coding the new forums(he is also the owner of the domain that we are renting(web hosting)) and helping Slaughter with the league code, not to mention that I have given him the difficult job of amalgamating the efforts of the CCCAC. He is doing all this very well and it is no small task. CS

This is the biggest bunch of bull s h i t I have ever seen. Leave Canuck the f u c k alone. If I was Canuck I'd kick you all the f u c k out of here. This is why I mostly play LKT games and OCC games. So I don't have to deal with you piece of s h i t s.

At moment the number of ladder player seems to decrease yes, we are losing dynamics. I dont know the reason (The game? the communauty? gs crash? sort of game played?) and i dont think there is only one reason but one thing i am sure, that 's this isnt the fault of one guy, this isnt the fault of CS. Yes maybe CS and DTA arenot the more active player on the lobby in admin team but i assure you that they are the more active for all the rest!!! On the forum, with firaxis, for the new ladder coding etc...., even if you see them less than me, for example, on the lobby, i assure you that they make better job for the communauty. There is something more important than skill to be head admin, maturity and value. Maybe DTA and CS arenot the best player but they embody and spread fair play value for our ladder. CS made and still making a very good job for us, maybe he makes error sometimes (well he is human!!!) but he is offering us a communauty of fair play and fun. I dont know for AOE, but in my case i am far away sure that i'll never make a better job than him and that he is the best for this place.

rofl AngelOnEarth lol she isnt very active either! Most Active Ladder Admins are Moineau and Longhorn! This thread Seems rather Pointless to me as you dont need to be in the Lobby to Run a League! Its the behind the scenes stuff thats more important to the Ladder Community such as the work being done on the New Ladder rather than policing the Lobby! If anyone should be Acting HA instead of DTA/CS SPM should be

Its the behind the scenes stuff thats more important to the Ladder Community such as the work being done on the New Ladder rather than policing the Lobby! If anyone should be Acting HA instead of DTA/CS SPM should be 1. U must promote ladder in loby to gain new members and control spamers like ? and ? and thinking after spam evidences if they are able to be HTD .... or worst future admin. 2. u must be in loby and playing games to be budy with ladder mebers that they kno how nice guy u are... 3. What new ladder Big deal. I doubt that new ladder will changing mine playing pleasure. New ranking system.. huhu ... big deal to. And we will lost all of ours stats. Im not stats adict but it is history.... Why i payed gold in cases ... if i had info about new ladder i will not pay it.

Do i hear an echo? lol.
Guys, don't you have anything better to do? All I hear from you is CS is a bad player, CS is never around to play, he is a tyranical dictator as an admin, blah blah blah.
well go blow your smoke somewhere else then. If you hate the ladder so much with him, then move on. Don't let the door slam you in the ass.
I and many others like the thankless job he's doing, all the volunteer time he's put into it. Great work CS!

Lestat, the new ladder has been no secret, I've been posting about it since last November, and any Gold members we have in Cases will get a free 1 year premium membership at civplayers.

CS - you, DTA and the rest of the crew do just fine the way you're doing it now.
For those that don't like it, they have alternatives and options.
Stay... Leave... Whine.
As I posted in the other thread....
Phuck'em CS
While you're deployed, almost all of us on the ladder who care will be right there with you as you perform your HA duties from a war-zone.
Additionally, while doing the admin stuff you do, with the occasional game you get to play while deployed will be a great diversion for you while you're away from your family, fullfilling your oath and obligations as a professional soldier.
You'll be there, as your signature line states - ensuring that the whiner boys here have the right to whine.
Phuck'em CS - just Phuck'em.

I think we need to advertise to non-ladders in the lobby. Put a game up saying join the ladder, spam the lobby, etc

It is often the mistake of many to think that admins should be recruiting in lobby. To increase the player base it is everyone's responsibility to help recruit. Speak well of your ladder and others will be interested in joining. I find it odd that it is usually players who have done nothing to help the ladder in terms of volunteering, recruitment, tding etc, who find the most fault with the current system. Do your share and your opinion may become important. Until then.....grow up.

I just wanna say that i've been on here a long time, I play almost everyday, I know lots of civvers, I still suck , but I don't even know who AngelOnEarth is. I know CS and SPM. Played many games with both. They are both honorable civvers. If we are electing a new head admin then, IMO, our leader needs to be a guy in the trenches. A guy we know will be here when civ 5 and 6 comes out. We need someone who has a true love for the art, that is civilization. I nominate LONGHORN LH is a good ol fashon civver with the good ol fashon civ values we share. He'll bring change where it is needed, and stablity where its not. He'll bring an end to the crime with his texas justice. and he's a man. cause girls are icky.

I don't even know why this is being discussed, I don't believe it is up for debate. Since I am not planning on leaving my duties here any time soon, there will be no replacement, but feel free to debate the merits of people you like or dislike, but rest assured that while I listen to peoples opinions the final call on new Admins, let alone a replacement for myself should I retire some day, is mine. Lots of people here *think* that they know what it takes to be a good Admin, but only people that have served as one on this or another league really have a clue as to what it entails. So while this may be an interesting debate, that is all it will be. CS

I agree with Avo, while the league staff are free to advetise the league, every member has that right and obligation, I'm not sure why people stopped doing this as it was fairly common to see random ladder players extolling the virtues of the ladder..... I strongly urge all players to take a stake in the future of our league and promote the league in the lobby and in other fan site forums, you are helping yourself in the long run. CS

This thread started with this sentance:
"With the new ladder finishing completion soon, I believe it is time for a change in leadership."
This thread should end with this sentance:
"I strongly urge all players to take a stake in the future of our league and promote the league in the lobby and in other fan site forums, you are helping yourself in the long run."
Before anyone replys, makes comments or thoughts, keep in mind this thread already ended with that sentance. Anything you say has no context, the thread is already done. If you feel there is something to add, keep in mind 1: Your wasting your time replying to a thread that already finished 2: that you could be spending better time recruiting people for your own great ladder league that you make because you don't like this one.
Thanks for starting, replying and enjoying this thread. That will be all now; Dismissed.
