Cryptococcus is an encapsulated yeast. Following its first identification in nature from peach juice samples, the major environmental sources of Cryptococcus neoformans have been shown to be either soil contaminated with pigeon droppings (Cryptococcus neoformans var. neoformans) or eucalyptus trees and decaying wood forming hollows in living trees. Cryptococcus neoformans var. gattii was also isolated from goats with pulmonary disease.

Actually, Ascension is O.J. Simpson's ghost writer.

Lestat speaks Lestocian, a combination of English and Serbo-Croatian. I understand it perfectly.

I can certainly understand that people with low English skills might have a hard time understanding the rules and the protocols of this ladder.

Why don't you guys just play C3C? ;D
Just an observation, many suggestions here are a throwback to the earlier game.

whip, you are "specifically" correct you "specifically" did NOT go and start a new ladder but indeed, as posted, you WERE part of the seperate ladder FROM DAY ONE OF IT'S EXISTANCE - with the help of a few others, and that fell apart under your adminship (they gotcha' there, lol) in fact, you were made HEAD Admin (they gotcha' there too, lol) in the MIDDLE of the battles you chose to fight anywhere and everywhere and where are those "others" now? why BACK in C3P, of course! STILL talking about it STILL beating a dead horse STILL "fermenting" over sour-grapes, and - STILL blaming everyone but themselves (clearly ODD considering the failure of the "democratic ladder" is CERTAINLY not "blameable" on anyone except those responsible for creating it and administering it) for someone that's like a dog with a bone and won't let go, you're VERY quick to point out the "lack of memory" of the rest of us. I'm sorry dude - your colors shown BRIGHTLY during your "revolution" and they continue to show 9 months later. You're done. (and I'm done with it too) You're really hung up on this, aren't you.

someone doesn't think DD was around for that.... someone has a bad memory, very very bad. It's called selective memory MMV. Not that he don't remember, he just does not wish to. I left Civ3 due to alot of the crap he spouted and don't really wish to see the same here. If you don't like this ladder and how it is run Whiplash, go start your own again and have fun doing it. Maybe all the players from Civ4players will join and give you a headache. I don't know how many times I have to say this. Maybe one more for good measure: I NEVER STARTED ANOTHER LADDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, I'M NOT BRINGING ANYTHING HERE!!!!!!!!!! I merely commented on the poll and responded to some misinformation that was posted. Apparently, the misinformation will continue to be posted. Very few who feel the need to comment really know what happened over there.

whats the difference between saying 'no' and saying 'leave it to the admins' ya, it's a poorly phrased question.

Great theory, but fails in practise. The "strong rule of law" has not always been fair. I've never had a problem with you; but no way is the ladder "leadership" even close to "fair". Well I guess we can just agree to diagree on that issue, but I'm curious that you didn't chose to comment on any of my other statements........ CS I chose to not do so because I don't wanna drag all the dirty C3P laundry into this forum.

someone doesn't think DD was around for that.... someone has a bad memory, very very bad. Was he? I don't recall any contribution from him during that time. I'm not trying to take the thread in any "direction". I'm just reacting to what others have posted. Fine, than let it be so. But 20 votes hardly means much.

You maintain the premise that we abuse our power because we can, and that we can't act differently because the system inherently flawed. Well I disagree with that completely. We are similar to a benelovent monarchy, and our continued rule depends entirely on our fair but strong rule of law. I will say for a fact that running a highly dynamic online gaming community, is a act of balancing a house of cards in an earth quake, and can only be done by a dedicated team of people. Great theory, but fails in practise. The "strong rule of law" has not always been fair. I've never had a problem with you; but no way is the ladder "leadership" even close to "fair".

Listening to the retoric of someone like Whiplash, ( who did his best to try to destroy Civ3players with the same kind of talk, went out started his own ladder with the help of a few others, and that fell apart) is a foolish move and will not help this ladder by any means. Dusty Your opinion is based upon much misinformation. I never tried to "destroy" Civ3players and I never started another ladder. I don't think you were even around during those difficult times, so you should keep your mouth (fingers) shut when you don't know the story. As to my rhetoric (note the proper spelling) I think my opinion should carry some weight as I've been around for quite some time and I have witnessed, and have been the victim of, admin abuse arising from the power of the oligarthy. The idea that only the "anointed" can keep the ladder running smoothly is a fairy tale.

I can tell the difference. For over 3 years I've seen both good and bad.

Bah!
"we still reserve the right to judge a players qualities as they apply to the job as an admin."
I think the "player's qualities" refered to are the willingness to conform to the oligarthy. This ladder, or any for that matter, should "belong" to the players. The admin's should be trustees, responsible to the membership, not to each other. This can only be accomplished if the admin's are elected.
The bottom line is that for the ladder to be healthy there must be confidence in the admin's. If that erodes, so does the ladder.

FROM APOLYTON
WARLORDS PATCH 2.08 OUT (31 October 2006, 15:23 | Civ4 | 51 comments) Today the long-awaited patch for Civilization IV: Warlords was released by 2K Games. Initially there was a lot of confusion due to the wrong version being accidentally released by some websites, but you can now download the official and correct version from the Apolyton Directory. This version is 63.75 MB large and in RAR format (requires a program like WinRAR to extract).
If you downloaded the file earlier today and it`s only 59.1 MB large, you will probably need to re-download it, and reinstall Warlords if you`ve already installed it as well, or you may encounter problems now or later (for example for future patches, MP games, etc). The full change log was already posted a few days ago [see story], but is now also available in the aforementioned Directory link and in this forum thread in our Civ4 forum thread where you can also discuss this patch. Thanks to JamieCiv4Files for first bringing this news to our attention.
