Look who has the top skill rating right now there bud. Also, look at the hall of fame for win percentages and skill rating. You did play in the days before most of the World got the game. You ain't on skill rating dude.

Skill rating is nothing, reputation is everything and is gauged by if you get picked first in teamers. The ladder ranking and skill system blows goats and is why the captains in teamers are very often not the best players there.

Actually DD, I think its not a good sportmanship to leave from staging with any reason. But its allowed and shouldnt be changed. If some1 obviously leaves the staging after teams are picked, it proves his poor attitude, but you cann never force him to play that game. Its his right to leave, like it is your right to avoid that player in new games- What do you mean I can't force them?

Add to this topic tools such as Stin who join teamer games, get picked for a team, don't like the team they have been picked for, thinking they'll get beat, so leave.
There are a number of such low-lifes on this ladder who do such nonsense...a pox on them all.
Team picking takes long enough without people dragging the process on or sabotaging it and tbh once again admins have been silent on such incidents.

Dear friends, Being one from the small community of civ players from the third world, I´m really concerned about the unwritten vendetta against the ARG Brothers, based on two points: their lag and their supposed "hacking" activity. One friend said that one of them said that they used hack programs, and I think that it´s probably caused by the "argentinian mood" of lying just to show that they have the control of the situation. The lag issue is a problem that affect all of us, even if we got broadband. Like France Telecom (lol) the quality of our connections are bad and they must go to United States before they join the net. For example, everybody here considers that I have a really good lag and mine for Europe is usually 300ms and to the US 160 ms. In Argentina is little worse, because their connection travel a longer distance before they enter in the net. Concluding, I'm really interested in seeing that BAN being lift and a more comprehensive approach with our friends with bad broadband. Yours faithfully, Arthur Rodrigues. Lag truely is a bane of enjoyable gaming and there are people I'll avoid playing due to it. Some game formats are better than others. A poor connection can be okay for smaller games with 6-8 players on a small map in an early era. Yet once people with bad connections get into games on a standard map, 8-12 players and in a later era it is horrendous. I for one find it too detrimental to enjoyment of the game to have people who run pings of upwards of 400 and these people don't have a right to play with me, ruin my enjoyment of the game and drag it on for extra hours. This is not a vendetta against those from the Third World, but anyone who brings a god awful connection to a game and it has a significant detrimental effect be they European, American or Aussia.

Nice - 33 game streak you got going there...think my worst after a week of rubbish REN teamers was 22 games. I haven't checked, but I wouldn't be surprised if this means that MGT has the lowest skill rating on the ladder

After reciving several messages from people, I want to address some important things. This game will be straight up, no bullnuts or cheating or anything. I will NOT be designing my own custom map or manipulating the settings in an unfair way. I am still up in the air for which common map I will be chosing for this event, its looking along the lines of HUB. He said HUB....so no continents..... For real? GOD have the numbers, just never able to field them at one time...now if it wasn't an 18 people (long, very little enemy contact and lagged out and most likely to not run at all) I'd go and take MGTs' free reports...I ain't too proud

16 never-played-civ-b4 geriatrics from the local old peoples home are guaranteed to win as long as one random person with all of 5 games under their belt is there to utizise that awesome wisdom and utter the command "every knob attack". Oh MGT wouldn't start on the same continent, nope it'd have to be where he gets an equal continent in size to the one the other 17 inhabit. The problem for the team horde will be getting the tech to reach MGT who maybe doing some lamoid culture win or something.

u wasnt able to win 1 vs 2 why d u like or why would some1 play u 1 vs 17? When he has a 0-4 win rate to me in 1vs1 why is he looking to take on hordes? I'd be interested as what the definition of MAD RESPECT that MGT has of KC. That many of them still play despite never getting any better? 17 vs 1 would be an awesomely boring game, most likely lagged to hell and we all know what MGT is trying to rely upon.

Silly MGT, why would KC agree to this? not only would it be a waste of their time, they'd have nothing to gain and everything to lose . If we treat this as an expected values excercise, treating your chances of victory as "p" which is certainly quite low but still positive, then the expected value for KC would be (1-p)0 <--- if they win, the 0 is there because they get absolutely zilch if they win, wow they won a 17v1, not exactly impressive at all , that 1 reported win from you is pretty much worthless imo and P(-Z) if you win, which tho p is incredibly small imo, it's still some negative thingy cuz they would be somewhat embarrassed the sum would of course add up to a negative value which does make it not a good move for KC Exactly what I was going to post. MGT is Curly from "Of Mice and Men" who is small, but handy with his fists and always challenging big guys to a fight. If he wins, ain't he good at fighting, if he losses, well the guy showed pluck. If KC win, no big deal if KC lose, humiliation. Massive respect for KC my arse.

LOL, Longhorn. You remember when Illuminati disintergrated? You remember speaking to me over the buddy list in the Civ4 lobby, the one that you claim I ain't your buddy on? You remember what you said? "Atleast you aren't going to those slows in RaY like Gogf and Speaker" - Longhorn. I'm suprised someone as biased as you is allowed to be a ladder admin. It doesn't set a good example to other people when someone as you is such a biased prick. God, someone that angry must be English (tick) and have seen the rugby today (tick?).

3) MrGameTheory Unit - Once activated this unit will take over your chat window and created a string of accurate but belittling comments which will not discontinue until target newbie resigns from the game or is killed. The Unit is also able to instantly raise the population in all cities to 84, but the 84 population don't require food due to their super power of being able to directly absorb energy from the sun. Make it cost 100,000 Gold and 1300 Ladder Bucks. ;D The MrGameTheory unit, thinks it has 100% odds against any unit but will lose and quit game in fury

I allways win, wonder why Self-deception. You lose 1 in 4 of your games...not close to always winning.
