So far I like the idea. This is actually kind of what I was looking for with the Civ Clan League. With the ability to rank and order clans, perhaps in between the CCC's, we could schedule matches like I thought of for the CCL. Each team competes in the same number of games. On a smaller scale, (5 or less), all teams are in one division or conference. Your rank or position determines where you fall in the tournament. As you get more clans (6 or more) You should split to keep it consistent, and so you don't need to have all teams play each other once, only those in their conference in the division.
Ultimately, as you reach 16 clans (though it's a bit of a stretch), you could do a combo, and top teams get into a playoffs. With each team playing same amount of matches, one clan doesn't benefit from playing many more matches than any other clan. Conferences and divisions don't do much except determine who goes where and who plays what in the tournament or playoffs. Basically the records would mean a whole lot more. And with divisions, you're competing against 3 other clans, which means more clans get more exposure.
The clan win/loss system is great, especially for the CCC, where you're positioning really isn't determined. It's a good way to seperate the clans that compete all the time verses the ones that aren't there all the time. But it's also good to have something for those who are starting out.
When you're comparing your stats with all the other clans, if you're near the bottom all the time, you may feel discouraged, and people might not want to join the "bad clan". As you split it up, suddenly the deficit don't look as bad, and you may get more clans to stay and join. And if you force better records to gain playoff eligibility, it give people something to strive for in between the tournaments. If they know that entry is not guaranteed, the matches will become that much more important. And with scheduled matches, you will get the opportunity to play a lot more clans under different scenarios.
ON ANOTHER NOTE:
For clan records, how would you rate clans in ctons? 1st placemen getting the clan win would defeat the cton, where it would become a teamer against those of the other clan. or perhaps take the average of where the players finish or something. Because if it's just who wins, then you wind up with the clans confering or determining who to help, not attack, who to attack. I was just curious on how they would handle this.
Thanks, Bill

I am basing this idea of the Clan Season idea, check the thread: civ4players.proboards44.com/index.cgi?board=sbox&action=display&thread=1189859369If you are interested in joining the inaugural season, please post your clan name, your preferred playing time (give a range, as this will be around your start times) and your players. To be eligible, you must have minimum 5 players (to fill a 5v5 teamer, which would prob. be the biggest game) and have players able to play during the scheduled games. I would highly encourage clans like KC, MUD, those in the CCC to consider this, we could see who's the better organized. Ideally, I'm looking for 16 clans, if we can get all the registered clans in the CCC to join, we should have no problem. For players who wish to join, but don't want to head a team, we could set up a free agency or something. Post your reply and when your available and the team that could use you could pick you up. Excellent opportunity to get involved in the ladder. You need to be ladder to join, but I will be making updates on the web page, until we get things organized enough to bring it here or in the Clans section.

Perhaps another time, but I decided not to do this. It's just too difficult to get the server to work all of a sudden, I just wanted to try something new. It's too difficult to explain the system, and not many members are part of this board anyways. I wish I could delete these postings, but I can't. I really think it could have worked out if it had gotten a chance, maybe I didn't explain it good enough. I didn't really get any reply back.

Pardon me................. but - you joined the ladder yesterday and post today that you are creating a new league outside of the ladder? I hope you've enjoyed your stay here Also, did you not read, members of this site have an upper hand, only they can create teams, and it will benefit them I believe. I may change it to just members only, changes can be made as necessary. Sponsors could start coming in, and maybe start getting involved too, who knows. They could create teams and compete against each other, which will also gain them exposure. Also, you may have more joining here, and coming back to this specific site to see where they are at. If they have an issue, they can contact me. Then perhaps I can change things that will help them, or I may cancel it as necessary. But I would like to experiment with something a bit.

Why do we have to mirror the CCC? Why can't the Nation's Cup be the ultimate prize to gaze at in a given year (or half year)? We could be talking about a season, playoffs and the 2007 Nation's Cup. I think the Cup should be awarded to the team that earns it through the season or year, or whatever it works out to be. Each team can compete on a weekend basis, but check my comment in the suggestions. We could schedule it to best fit each country (each country is a diff. time zone). Why should someone from Australia be forced an all-nighter while the American will get to play in daylight?

Careful, I'm not up to boasting yet, maybe Team Canada and USA show the rest of the world how to play.

I also believe in any All Star event, perhaps we could have a divison vs. division battle. Each team votes in it's top players, and those players combine to battle the other division. As a way of being able to play with a different team. I really think that a season, as opposed to a simple weekend could create anticipation. Perhaps we could be looking forward to big matchups and keeping hope that we will be around for the playoffs. (and add a civilization ESPN )

Perhaps we don't mirror the CCC. How about a Nation's Cup Season instead? Perhaps meats can come weekly, and it all comes to one commmon goal-get to the playoffs. Crown a champion-the team that's consistently been the best.
We could be in the lobby analysing what each team needs to do (USA needs to beat UK to get in, or Germany could clinch home court advantage, or Australia looks real strong). We don't need to get each Cup done in one weekend. Instead, stretch it out a bit.
Perhaps I could suggest we could have a schedule and ranking system. Perhaps we divide into conferences and the home team plays host. For example on a Saturday, a schedule could look like this:
USA @ Australia UK @ Canada et cetra
Perhaps the type of game is also determined by the home team. For those in same division, you have two games, one is home one game and the other the next time. The best teams in each division would advance to "playoffs". And then the champions of each division, and the NC Champion could be crowned.
Or perhaps a best of three, you play 2 out of 3, one team starts home first, then the other home next. If a tie happens, they play on neutral territory or something. Perhaps you could post schedules and team have until a certain date to get certain number of players. This could also have clans with more players-they cycle through players (Players 1,2,3 play one day, then 4,5 and 6 the next). Those of us on odd work schedules can come to play when we are available.
This would also encourage better participation, knowing that each weekend counts towards one goal. This way, we all don't have to cramb each weekend, we can enjoy the game.
If there is a large supply of players, perhaps split teams into East/West or something. This is such a good idea i hope this works. I am willing to donate time to help set this up if your interested. Contact me email at mkenseth@sbcglobal.net.
Maybe my team can go undefeated in the 2007 Nation's Cup Season (probably not) and claim the ultimate goal-the Nation's Cup.
Perhaps if you want to throw in a special tournament, you throw those in too, like an All-Star event.

Actually, I would like to see the Nation's Cup to be expanded into something more. See my comment in the suggestions, but we could have an All-Star Event for the Nation's Cup (Season). Each team will vote in it's best players (in the way they want to) and they will combine with the other teams from a similar division (maybe 8 teams in each division) and compete against the others. This game would make complete strangers learn to compete with each other.

Liberals and the KGB have the same objective. The destruction of America. The libs and the KGB are not working together to bring America down. Its just that they both work towards the same goals. The KGB has infiltrated America's media, there education system, there judicial system, and many others. This is nothing new. Countrys spy on each other all the time. It pisses the liberals off to know that the US gov lissons to there phone calls but they don't seem to mind China doing it. As for the KGB, they were "disbanded" and replaced by the FSB. But either way, so what's the CIA doing about it? The patriot act is NOT a conservative legislative act. Since when do conservatives support reducing our freedoms? You like the idea of your phone calls being monitored? And if chinas thousands of amateur spies are a threat, is it not the CIA that is supposed to take care of it? I think the chinese have more important things to spy on than 14-year old Bonsheequa's phone call to her baby's daddy. I imagine they're spying on technological and military matters. Personnally, I don't mind anybody listening to my phone calls if it kees me safe. I have nothing to hide anyways, so who cares? And we can thank Bill Clinton for hiring George Tenant for CIA-made the CIA less of a info-gathering agency more of a politcal pondering Agency. Bush's biggest mistake was keeping Tenant (and i remind you he was the guy who informed the Clintons and Bush's about Saddam's imminent WMD's). Clinton dismantled what Reagan and Bush Sr. were building up-the CIA. Perhaps liberals do intend to destroy this country (they don't speak otherwise).

Our founding fathers didn't like the idea of political parties, and perhaps with good reason. Now, the United States of America is basically run by two political parties, who have become two extremes. This leaves little choice, as they have enourmous spending capabilities. Perhaps there is a need for change, whether it be a spending cap, or forcibly splitting the parties. Or perhaps we return to the old days, where the election winner would become president, and the runner up would become vice president. Or perhaps it's fine, and nothing would be needed to be changed. Or perhaps I left something out, please share. What part of Sussex are your founding fathers from? I apologize for any confusion, I was just trying to figure out where everybody stood on issues. I believe the free market is the best way to do anything. It has systems of checks and balances in place (supply/demand). I am not perfect, but I believe the founding fathers didn't particularly like "parties", but i could be wrong.

In 2008, we start from scratch. George W. Bush is done as president (no matter what), and we select a new commander in chief. If the election were held today, who do you like as president. Or perhaps I'm a doof and I forgot somebody, please provide your opinion. Do your best to ignore party affiliation.

you imply that sourced information I post is .... "off the wall conspiracy theory" and then go on to post rambling gibberish without ever actually adressing anything important. you also seem to imply that I have some sort of minority or fringe viewpoint that only a few people subscribe to. But according to "..A monumental new scientific opinion poll [which] has emerged declares that only 16% of people in America now believe the official government explanation of the September 11th 2001 terror attacks." www.angus-reid.com/polls/index.cfm/fuseaction/viewItem/itemID/13469From Zogby polls to CNN polls to Canadian Radio polls, the MAJORITY believe there was some sort of coverup. Links to all the polls i mentioned can be found at this hub. www.prisonplanet.com/articles/October2006/141006poll.htmHERE IS A LINK TO ZOGBY. Zogby polls are used and considered accurate by every university on the planet. Half of New Yorkers Believe US Leaders Had Foreknowledge of Impending 9-11 Attacks and “Consciously Failed” To Act; 66% Call For New Probe of Unanswered Questions by Congress or New York’s Attorney General, New Zogby International Poll Reveals www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=855I'm sorry you don't agree with my views so why don't you try to refute them instead of just saying they are off the wall. It all depends where you get your information. If you really look hard, you'll find something that supports any point of view. I find it hilarious, bin Laden spoke out plain as day and claimed responsibility for the attacks. It doesn't matter who polls what and what Michael Moore and George Soros think what happened. If you have a news media that keeps drilling lies out like here in the United States, you may believe the government is as bad as you say it is. After a while, yeah, people's opinions change. 9/11 was orchestrated by al-Qaeda, it was our mistake, however, when we missed some of the warning signs. In the 1990'2, the US could have had bin Laden before all this mess. I don't believe it is any one president's fault. Carter shares blame also for leaving Afghanistan to soon before the job was done (which will probably happen in Iraq unfortunately) and Bin Laden got his anger from that. Clinton's error was not getting bin Laden and al-Qaeda when he had the chance, in it's early days. Osama bin Laden got more encouragement from Somalia, where they were facing tough losses against American forces. America was highly successful, but when a couple soldiers died, America quickly turned tail. He learned this weakeness, and he knows how to bring down America: You can attack, and then use the media and the weak-spined Americans to help pull America out of defending itself. It doesn't matter how you attack, if you can make the Americans feel guilty, they will capitulate. 9/11 was bin Laden's doing, but it happened because of failure in the govt. We had plenty of chances to stop it beforehand, and now we are where we are.

If you were able to change something about the ladder, what would it be? Maybe a better ranking system, or perhaps points or something else? Perhaps with tournaments? What would you bring to the table if you had control of the ladder?
