Anyone trying to force me to play people I don't want to play can sod off, that is my honest opinion. That said if you invite someone into your game you shouldn't then boot them just because someone else has turned up. But if you didn't invite them, then why should you have to play with them? If the person is a nice chap or chapette and isn't rubbish then people will be happy to play with them. If the person is someone who never learns, will ignore the stronger players (specifically the captain if picking done) instructions and it goes wrong then expect to not get allowed in again. I'll tell you something, when I play with certain people in a team I follow their advice and even ask for direction and I consider myself pretty good, I just know when to appreciate the abilities of others and put them to good use (MLL you know I'm talking about you ) I love those people who justify not following my advice as that I've made them nervous and that they panicked I really do ;D

This is f**king pathetic.
First of all, I hardly ever see anyone not get in a game.
Second of all, Those of you who bitch about not getting in games, obviously got in a game and acted like a slow or a thingyhead.
Last of all, If you want to talk nuts on these so called elite teamers and the people in them, then why come here and cry because you can't get in. If they were so f**king terrible then you wouldn't care.
Did you fat kids go cry to your teachers when the people playing basketball already had 10?
Sorry Fat Kids, courts full, find your own game or go pick your nose on the bench.
End of f**king story.

So Italiano wanted to join GOD. Tobey put up poll in our forum, but the vote ROFL, won by 2 votes over LMAO Then again when GOD first started he was a trial member as worker59, then kicked, then as aquaduct, then kicked. It doesn't matter what you change your name too italiano and how many people you pm and say "hey man I'm sorry for how I acted". You will never be GOD. So quit pm'ing us! BTW PHM, Poly always reports. Just look at his win percentage Seriously though, never had problem with poly reporting.

i got 1 thing to say im soooo sry i forgot you (reported to all others), wait im not sry. Report done your childish crap talk is just annoying anyway. Easy solution dont play with me anymore, welcome on my dnp. Btw never received an email maybe not smart enough to send emails Ok. Waited for rare sobre moment to respond. Maybe you have a point. I don't think I belong here or am wanted. I recently tried to post serious suggestions to diversify the game options and I mostly just got insulted for it, both here and in the lobby. After that I didn't even open this forum till precondition of being so blind I can't sit without swaying and can only see the monitor if I squint sideways. Lose all wit and rationale but figured I should fit in nicely. Maybe just with Lestat. To be honest, this whole fortnight since restarting has been so frustrating it has bled my soul. The ladder system is backwards. Not ONE single person I e-mailed about reports actually then filed a report. All it has achieved is angering people and bringing me much grief. The follow up non-reporting stuff is even worse. Someone tell me what the point of such monotonous work is when there are no consequences to the offender and only griefing as your reward? This is not a ladder. It's the anti-ladder. I am abandoning my quest to reestablish a pretty set of stats. Rhetoric aside, there is no system of support for such a fruitless quest. I was alone yelling THIS IS SPARTA PRETTY!!! I can only hope my sacrifice vs the countless hordes of persians non-reporters with no reinforcement forthcoming from the politicians admins unites the masses making my deathdeletion count. As this is the anti-ladder I can only conclude that having the lowest stats is where true glory lies. Reporting not Non-Reporting must be where nirvana hides. I want no more angst or grief. Lots of reports to Ulla. And you can have yours back and then some Poly. And three more reports from now on to each and every person who doesn't report me. Going to try Ghandi's route.

For some people - Civ4 is a game For others, the ladder and lobby are the game This has actually been a fun thread - pretty entertaining and a few laughs until... one elite player takes a stab at another elite player come ON folks - elites are ONLY allowed to take a stab at NON-elites, haven't you learned ANYTHING in this thread? ROFL!!

dude who cares about stupid win streaks? its just a game. I do care about my +58 win streak - exclusively from teamers, most of them were veteran teamers, no "free win" ctons (the way most players got their big win streaks). My top rank and top skill raiting was from that win streak as well. I'm not playing Civ right now but at least i have something like that to remember.

This issue comes up periodically. Frankly, I'm tired of people complaining about not being let into passworded teamers. Often enough, the teamer is filled with veteran players, and adding one newer player will do nothing but unbalance the teams and cause frustration for everyone involved.
If you act respectful and listen to advice, it won't be long until you're allowed to play in veteran teamers. I know I was a little upset when I wasn't allowed to play, but it wasn't long until I was invited into a game. I listened to advice, acted respectfully, and played a good game. Needless to say, I was invited back.
There are opportunities to play with "top players" - specifically the random/shuffle teamers that are so popular these days. If you're respectful and play well, you'll get invited into the inner sanctum of passworded games. If you're not, well, you may not be allowed to play in passworded teamers.

u guys dont think the players u called "elite" came from space and directly started to play passwrded games...do you? yeah i was a noob like everyone here when i started playng this game... i wanted to join those passworded teamers,sometimes i could get in-sometimes i couldnt even get a response from the host,and for those who wonder-i got booted from staging room too, but i knew i was a noob, i wasnt at the same level with those players i played with and i could understand why they were not wanting me in + i was not enjoying those games as well and suddenly i stopped demanding pw's for those games but i just kept on playing ctons and some easy teamers. after a while i understood i was ready for the games of those "big-asses" i started to ask for pw's again and no-surprise i did well in those games then became a so-called "elite" and a wanted and respected player of every teamer. now listen to me guys, u have two choices: -1st is crying like babies coz u cant get in those elitist teamers and opening threads like this...this is the easy way... -2nd is harder and requires a little self-knowledge and merit...u just need to accept you are a player below average and just dont try join the games which u think its level is higher than yours... you know who you are and what you are really capable of, do u really want to be the unwanted noob of the staging room even if u get in? or try for a while to become a guy who doesnt even need to ask for pw's and become a wanted guy of every teamer??? i have chosen the harder way folks, it wasn't really easy for me becoming dreddcool-one of the most successful players of this community, achieving n1 spot of ladder, winning a ccc, grabbing the most wins in whole ladder... and pls decide which way u want to follow now and think again before opening a thread like this next time

OK PEOPLE LISTEN UP-
Stop empowering other people other you, stop letting them get to you. If they don't want you in their teamers, then oh well. Start holding teamers and don't let them in. I mean come on- alot of these elites are about as fun to play with as a wet sack of noodles. Even if they let you in they would order you around every single turn, make you send every unit you produce to them, cry a river if you dare build a granary in the wrong city, and blame you if they lose no matter if you were first in every single statistic on the graphs.
My way to handle it is simple. I rarely ever ask anyone to join their passworded game. If they want me to play, they will invite me. If I don't get an invite, I move on- I look for another game, or I make my own game.
If you are hosting a game and someone in your game demands that you kick 'so and so' and let their ELITIST friend in that spot, thats not the kind of person you want to play with anyways.
Don't let them get to you. Seriously, just stop worshiping the ground they walk on. You will have a better time playing with your friends.
Its not like the true elitists have improved their game in the last 6 months. Its the exact same strategy with a little more 'I think I can walk on water' added. Maybe they have become a little more demanding of what they expect from you and a little more demeaning toward you. But thats the extent of their innovations and evolution.
So my advice, let the true ladder ELITISTS continue to play with themselves. Stop trying to be like them and stop trying to play with them. Soon enough they will get sick of playing alone!
Have fun, embrace your noobness, whatever it takes to enjoy yourselves and civ!

I didnt make this thread to because I wasn't let into an "elite" teamer. Calling that teamer "elite" is quite a strech. I made the thread because some people have a personal problem with me. I've been playing on the ladder since civ3. I don't go picking fights yet fights seem to find me. I just wanna know what it is I've done to who to get treated this way. I think I have a good reputation. Those who play me EVERYDAY I think would agree.

I'm not elite but I can and do get into about any "elite" ladder teamer I want - with the exception of those dreadfull clan and player "F*YOU I'm/WE'RE BETTER" matches..... and I don't want in those anyway. a LOT of those "elite teamers" are for fun and with a good rep and consistent play (don't die) , anyone can get in - but some of them are BLOOD FEUD MATCHES and you're NOT invited. and for those who WANT IN? Come on pholks, most are hoping to "ride the coat-tail" of the high rankers and get in the top 50 with some free win reports. (you can tell who those guys specifically are - the are always in the top 10-20, never higher) but as longhorn put it, if you WANT to just play a ladder teamer, go play one and have fun! if you want to LEARN MORE and get BETTER AT them - ask one of them of some one-on-one help. Most cases, you'll get a positive response.

This thread was not about getting into 'elite' team games. This thread started because someone was kicked to let another player(that never did join) the game.
I have noticed that satan gets a chit load of abuse from a select group of people, I have often wondered what had he done/said to merit such attention.
"MMv plz stop drunking" well how else would he go wouman(s)izing
I believe the ladder eliteism is a state of mind, nothing more. The heros out there telling the world how swell they are seem to be lacking. I watch out for the silent killers.
Go back and check dusty's sig, it says a lot...
still not sure what MMV means... man, mineral, vag...nevermind
We did not have this problem in civ 3, JoShmo took care of that, BOOT JO!
