Regarding the lag in the ren era I just wanted to say that I have alot of respect for the FUN clan and the sportsmanship they showed. No one enjoys playing in a lagfest but opting for a concession because one player drops a few times in cheesy imo. I don't think a TD was ever notified of this prob during the game but I would like to think that if they were the decision made would be a temporary postponement of the game until the lagger can be subbed.
And btw mookie if I recall correctly Lord Elgis lagged at the start of every turn in our ren game vs you so it's not all that uncommon, luckily mark didn't play in that game or we would've had some real problems.

Congradulations Mud, well played.
lp
ps: a few comments on settings medium timer is too slow for ren and fast was too short for modern. At least for someone like me who didn't practice at all lol, but seriously maybe take a look at those two settings and ask yourself how it makes sense. (the ren event was what like 12 hours from start to finish and teh modern was like 4-5 or sumthin?

erm correction, industrial ctons are great fun on standard pangea, just not a 3v3 on a small pangea since we all saw what happens there.

I'm really looking forward to the 5v5 ren, a nice change for clans to put together an uber strong team and show their cumulitive strength, just hope we don't run into scrap issues.
I had a lot of fun playing in the future event even tho we got owned by LKT and I think tommy's argument that oh, only those clans play that era so it's not fair is pretty rediculous. The future era is great because the strat for these games is completely different from any other era and ya you need to practice it a bit or you'll get owned. Funny thing is MUD seems to favor ancient settings in their games more than any other clan so I'm not suprised you have no problem with all the ancient starts which I find kind of boring when we could be playing industrial. I'm not a huge fan of med but I loves me a good industrial game.
It probably doesn't need to be said again but I agree with the rest that ring map doesn't suit ancient, this map/event should be the industrial one, not a small pangea like last time. Pangea's a good map tho, just not for industrial.

I agree wholehartedly about the picking Sidhe. I've played many ladder semi-ctons and this is the only one where duplicate leaders aren't allowed. I dislike random civ selection because it can give an unfair advantage (imo) but decidingpicks by ranks doesn't make for a fair game, wtf is that? I can't make excuses about my civ this ironman since I got first pick but even if I was promised first pick I would still vote for duplicate leaders because the last thing I want is the person I beat saying 'well u had my civ...' I think there are alot of maps that could be better than hub for ironman. I also think making the map small size would make it a much more enjoyable event for all involved. If you've never tried hub map on small(or smaller) with 10+ people please do before you respond to this. I think it would be cool to rename the hub game 'tank race' and set it to small map, and create a new Ironman event played on a standard pangea, balanced or even great plains. These maps make for lots of action and probably won't lag as much as the standard hub. 'Tank Race' would be open to as many clans as are in the ccc wheras the pangea ironman would be played by 8 qualifers. That's my suggestions. (great plains needs more respecktpuh yo) lp ps ( I can see yur point levi but I've never been aware of any unfair decisions made by tds....when it's time to make a decision they're never around anyway but seriously as reverant as the ccc is it's still a game and these guys aren't getting paid so how you really gonna ask them to give up a huge chunk of their weekend without playin too)

wow I just posted about this in the suggestion thread and then found this...what a long thread...game theory calling tommy a rank sleeper is classic heh.
After playing in the last ironman I feel 100% that people should be able to pick the same civs. I don't see how 8 ghandis is going to be more boring than 8 different civs and personaly I wanted to choose Elizabeth anyway. In fact although ghandi won the last ironman he was the third to even get picked, ban him? rediculous.
The timer needs to be blazing too.
And although I'm loath to suggest that chatting during ironman be completely banned there was many things said by many players in the last one (self included) which were arguably against cton rules so I think it's something that should be considered or at least taked more seriously, people should understand that to even joke about the game info or make ambiguous comments like 'you lucky dog' could result in a disqualify.

I think it's a really cool idea although I can also see how CS's scenario would be likely, but imho it would be worth it even 75% clans of don't show up for their games at least we will know at the end which clan is more organized, if nothing else lp

I had the chance to play in the ironman event this past CCC, I had a good time but here are a few suggestions that I think would make for better games in the future:
1. People should be allowed to choose the same civ, this should be an event of let the best man win, not the best man with the biggest advantage...I had 4th pick this ccc (which is pretty good out of 12) my first three picks were the first three to go and I ended up getting 4th place with two of the people above me having chosen first...hmmmm....
2. Timer should be blazing.
I think those two changes would make for a better event.

I agree with grimarch and glad he saved me the trouble of saying it. I think it's a really cool idea but too ambitious, kudos to you if you prove me otherwise but I also agree that the host/1 person report system is very elegant in it's simplicity. Really the french have this figured out and we would be best to copy them tbh.

Another certain player who has been on this ladder a long time decided not only to quit a teamer but delete all his units before doing so. After that his some of his teamates tried to force us to scrap because of this and although I can appreciate their point of view it's kind of sad to see these shuffle teamers getting scrapped because people drop or quit. I know it's like beating a dead horse around here but it seems like it's so easy to force a scrap all you have to do is drop. We did a try a reload but then one of the other players went afk for half an hour, not only a veteran but an admin on the ladder, and when we tried to sub him out he had put a pw on his civ so at that point we all agreed to scrap. I know this guy probably had good reasons to go afk but it should be common sense with people who have been on this ladder since it's launch, that you don't put a pw on your civ in a teamer and if you do it better be '1'. You never know when you'll lose your connection and if that happens we have no way to get the pw so you are wrecking the game.
So anyway it was a game full of veterans but a real mess, some behaving childish, some wasting our time, some trying to ignore ladder rules because they aren't "fair", all of it for nothing.
We all make mistakes and me probably most of all but I would like to see this ladder get revitalized and back to a more casual laid back environment where people don't care so much about winning or losing as playing the best game of civ they can with their dealt and seeing where the dice land.
I don't know why most of you joined this ladder, maybe for some it was to get ranked, but for me it was to be able to play full games of civ against real humans and kill them completely. And ya we all quit games from time to time for a variety of reasons but if one of your teamates fawks you in a game then just take it like a man and file your report and stfu is what I'm trying to say. If you quit or sub out of a teamer then report to everyone else in the game immediately and stfu. Just cause you got a sub doesn't mean you have to report. If people just followed the rules instead of crying and bitching when they have to hand out "free" reports than maybe you wouldn't see so many people in the lobby who have quit the ladder making fun of us and how we cry about reports. Just do the reports ffs and stop masturbating to your win %. (or quit playing teamers)

I was in the lobby when this all went down and I agree with francis that it was bad a ruling, I know the TD's have good intentions but maybe if they played the game a bit more they would know what an unfair advantage it is to force a reload from a 3 turn old save, this really should never be an option. From what I understood the problem was francis couldn't host and cachola didn't have the current save, a lot better solution would've been for francis to email or somehow transfer the save to cachola so he could host it, then they could play the 1 turn and cachola would die, gg. I just think that when situations like this come up the TD's need to take as much time as neccessary to come up with a completely fair solution, rather then rushing out these half baked ideas like "ok just host the 3 turn old save, what you don't like that ruling? ok your disqualified, gg" francis you got totally screwed there. I felt the same way about the time that ray and some french clan got space race on same turn and the french guys won. The admins decided in about 15 mins, based on some info that mookie got from his "programmer friend at fireaxis" that the host always wins in a victory condition tie. The admins ruled they should replay the game but the french guys were tired and knew they were a longshot in the first place so conceded. Now I know it's ancient history but even if mookie wasn't just making that nuts up then it woulda made a lot more sense to just toss a coin rather than tell them to replay the game from start. Anyway just trying to show how if you take some time to think nuts through you can actually come up with a solution that is fair to both parties.
