Hello Friends, Soon-2-be-friends, and Haters:
This is your good pal MrGametheory here to say hello and to present a proposition. I just finished spending a good chunk of time breaking down the game in terms of Duels and Ctons and I need your help.
It seems that people enjoy teamers and due to the fact that teamer games of all kinds are infecting a Civ 4 Game near you, I thought it logical to invest some time in also breaking down these types of games. Due to the fact that this game is still in its infancy phase of life, I also thought it logical to start a Clan and get it situated in your minds as being apart of the First generation of Clans in Civ4. Obviously I will need peoples help in breaking down teamers and a Clan is good for this.
More importantly than starting a clan I want to create an indirect Clan of the best of the best players in Civ 4. The people involved in this group would simply play the game with each other and the games would be more dynamic than normal games and add more to the people who participates over all strategy. The beauty of this group is in getting the best players together and creating an extremely competitive and strategically challenging environment.
I am looking for two types of people, people that would be interested in Joining a Clan or People that consider themselves to be top Teamer/CTON/Dueler player and would like to battle as often as possible and be apart of this Elite battling group.
The best way to get better at something is to surround yourself with the best of the best and each person learns and expands their strategies with the help of the other players. Civ 4 is a big waste of time and all to often good games are messed up by people who don't know what they are doing. Don't get me wrong, inexperienced players add flavor to games, but it would be nice to play games with people who will do whatever it takes to win and know what they are doing and don't just collapse over and die because of an early rush by a neighbor. By playing with inexperienced players people are forced to adopt a weaker or more illogical strategy. People need the right strategies when they play against the best of the best in most video game tournaments and even in real life. Civ 4 is probably one of the best strategy games ever made and it would be a shame to not utilize it for what it could provide. Yes I am taking the game a little serious with the above paragraph, but I don't like wasting my time and I might as well get as much as possible out of the time I waste. Video games are surprisingly some of the best forms of education. Video games eventually become obsolete and all the time invested in the game ends up being a huge loss for the person, especially when a newer and better game comes out. I believe that Civ 4 will have a long shelf life and due to the nature of the game it is worth the investment to master it.
If you think you are an amazing Teamer/CTON/Dueler player and would like to play any type of game against me and whoever I can get. I promise to provide you with an extremely challenging and Fun Game. I prefer players who are interested in perfecting their strategy and strive to be the best. We are here to have fun, but some people (Including myself) have fun learning all there is to know and advancing their skills in areas of the game which people never think of because they have not reached the degree of skill necessary to understand the need for it.
I am looking for two types of people to join a Clan:
1) Obviously, amazing Civ 4 players who are vets and understand the game. I want people who have strategies of all kinds.
2) Regular Folk. I would rather have some older seasoned Strategy game players who are just getting into Civ 4 and wouldn't mind learning a lot of what there is to know about the game.
I find that people in strategy games that are not tainted with too much information and are suddenly told everything there is know about the game have an easier time expanding on the strategies because it is all they ever knew, as opposed to vets who learn new information and bounce back to their own strategies and are satisfied because subconsciously they have a hard time letting go of the core of their original strategies. Obviously there are several strategies in the game and my strategies mixed with another persons strategy may yield a fantastic strategy, but for the most part I don't usually find this in the games I have played, but I won't completely close my mind to this.
I am obviously open to ideas and all I am doing is trying to create perfect strategies for each map, type of game, setting, and specific strategy. CCC and other tournaments are occurring all the time and it would be nice if I could also compete in teamers on top of Ctons and Duels.
One day there will hopefully be players that will be confident enough to gamble in this game and It be nice to hit the books before everyone else.
I think the actual strategy structure of Civ 4 is a lot better than Civ 3 and I will only lightly use Civ 3 as a basis for comparison. Over time and with enough attention Civ 4 will become the best strategy game and a flood of strategy players of all kinds will join. Even if Civ 4 doesn't get as popular as I would hope it to be, I feel that there is enough people in the game at this very moment to satisfy what I wish to accomplish. Even with 8 - 30 Players, a group is large enough to accomplish what I desire.
And don't give me any of that, "Its people like you that ruin the game for people like me because you take it so seriously and slaughter me when we play in the same game." This is illogical reasoning because people are not forced to play games with anyone in this type of game and people who want to play the game for 2 hours a month can go and start a game with other players who invest the same amount of time in the game.
I chose =A= as my Clan symbol because it will always come up first on the lobby list and because I liked the Clan name " The Abominations,"
If you are Interested in any of the Above please contact me on AIM at (MrGameTheory) and YIM at (Illuminatious)
Thanks for reading. ;D
