Okay, I read comments every once in a while and I often read comments that make me laugh out loud. I remember reading a deyreepher comment to Metallian that was just "asshat." Anyone seen any lately?
I think Chucky's been a nexus of commenting activity in the last two days so I'll start (don't ask me why they are all in caps, but I think it makes it funnier):
"START ANYWHERE IS SUPPOSED TO BE ALL PLAYERS NOT 1. GG"
"*AFTER MARR DIES WITH ONLY 1 ARCHER IN HIS ONLY CITY 40 TURNS INTO THE GAME, NOM/RONSTER CLAIM SUPERIORITY OVER RONSTER/CHUCKY. CONGRATS ON YOUR WIN"
"YOUR A NOOB IDIOT CHUCKY, NEVER PLAY ME AGAIN YOUR ADVICE AND TEAM PLAY SUCKS JUST LIKE YOU HERES SOME EASY POINTS FOR YA, JUST THE WAY YOU LIKE IT"

For posterity's sake I'd like to point out that I invented the "one true strat" about a year ago in my indu/ren OCC's with kazache when people didn't often rise above 300 beakers after experimenting briefly with other strats such as Jan spamming (which incidentally was how I got into GOD, sorry Tobey). As such I wouldn't mind if all others cease and desist such costrategizing and be a bit more independent

The reason your experience does not comport with that of the typical noob ladder protester is because you did what you are supposed to do (and I did) when you start as a noob: play ctons, build up a good record and then get a chance in teamers: you're at 67% win, why wouldn't anyone let you in? I've seen people trying to get in with win %'s like 0 or 16 or 25 and less than 20 reports to their name. This is the archetypical noob ladder protestor. Sorry Stin, you're going to have to redo your experiment and start by losing games

Well I only have 1 issue:
I've had many games where the game will not start (or, this is new, will randomly stop in the middle of the game) and no vote screen comes up and it seems to be a single person causing the problem in most of these instances, but there is no way to tell who--this needs to be solved by either
(a) why can't this problem fix itself? it usually does when people try again, why can't the game automatically do this? (b) at the very least identify who the problem is with so that person can quit and rejoin
Also, I second each of pretty's suggestions.
And thanks for asking.
EDIT: Okay, #2:
We definitely need some way to mute ingame chat (tab talking) either from certain people or everyone

Happy birthday Tobey! And thanks for inviting me into GOD way back before our first CCC and when I wasn't as much a part of the ladder as I am now, and didn't play anything like how I play now (or nearly as much either) I don't know why you invited me, but thanks, its been a fun ride.

Congratulations! But I've got to say I'm not sure what you mean by not a top of the top clan or not the top players? You were 1 point shy of MDR's score last CCC I think? I know for sure MDR is a top of the top clan and I'm pretty sure your score makes your clan a top of the top clan by transitivity Hf and nj cya this weekend

Actually Tommy, by skill rating alone this would be the current ranking--you'd be #27 not #1. Also note that there are plenty of teamer players on this list:

I've done it many times in multiplayer ffa's. I used to do it on pang type maps without falling behind in tech by going the hollywood/broadway route (1000/turn at the end) simply to avoid having to deal with destroying the others.
I've done it with three cities in an always peace game without any wonders around 1500 with elizabeth. Fin and cottages help alot. Check out civfanatics.com--there have been detailed threads on this (not common in ladder obviously).

Yes, I got second in the OCC by slaving huge stacks I really don't know what ebd and mookie are fighting about: it was MUD/RAY/MDR/SDRR/KC vs GOD/GOD/SDRR/OS/LordJams Did they really think they had a chance?

way to boot players in game?
way to hide typed text in game/mute players?
up the strikes in first strikes so FS1 and 2 are viable alternatives to combat 1/2 odds wise?
a way to combine units into super units (like three immortals makes a formation of immortals which has twice power of original? five makes a squadron with 3x power?)
something like a reduced settler which makes "settlements" rather than cities and doesn't have expanding culture and can't make buildings?
give an extra move to units that retreat?
way to let anyone on buddy list join games hosted by you rather than have a pw on games?
a way to abandon cities? (to barbs?)
some way to change leaders in game (maybe limited to those of same civ) (maybe three turns of anarchy or something?)
enhanced spies? stealing tech? earlier "spies"? (diplomats?)
make cultural victory viable in occ (one city enough for win) and multiplayer games (to make multiplayer games more "civilized")? maybe factor tech/happiness/healthiness into cultural victory or culture generation generally?
allow leader to make "promises" to his people with maybe happy or golden age type benefits if promise fulfilled, and the opposite or anarchy if not (to simulate political aspects of civilization)?
