Hmmm, maybe the newsletter could be posted in the forums or an archive set up somewhere so we could view them? I guess my copy got swallowed up by the spam filter .

Did this ever go out? I don't remember seeing it in my inbox, but my spam filter may have caught it ...

DaggerJones/Metallian and I were just talking and he came up with what I think is a great idea -- can we, as a ladder, enter some sort of agreement with CFC and Apolyton to better promote the ladder? How about a nice link on the main website? Or at the very last some nice sticky announcement threads on their forums?
I have to imagine that everyone who plays Civ4 is interested in multiplayer on some level. However, if they try to play a few open games with rampant connection problems and quitters, many of them must become pretty discouraged before they even discover the ladder.
The ladder definitely needs to grow, and this could be a great way to do so.

Also, when you host a game with a Mod your game is in it's own special lobby. With other players unable to see the game, you need to spam the lobby, spam your buddy list, and hope people are paying attention!

did you recieve an email about a non-report claim being filed, or was it just a reminder from one or more of the players in the game? In this situation , I would call the game a scratch, the only way you would still owe reports would be if the other 3 tried to reload the game and you didn't join them. When you decided to go find another game, was this while you were still in the agme waiting on the others to rejoin or was it in the lobby failing to connect for a reload? I just received a reminder from one of the players in the game, not a non-report claim notice. I waited in the original game for awhile, when it was clear it wasn't going to work I headed back to the lobby. We were trying to reload or restart the game but I was continuing to have connection troubles. Eventually I decided that it wasn't worth fighting with the GameSpy servers anymore ... and now I'm stuck in this mess!

Any other opinions on my situation? I don't want to cheat anyone out of a well deserved victory, however, I don't think playing about 20% of a game without being eliminated, without being under attack from any foes, and then having the game crash and end due to some sort of GameSpy server problems is really any kind of a defeat for me. In the end, I will do what I'm told, I don't want to be a whiny bitch or a sore loser. So please continue to weigh in with your thoughts, and if there is an admin (or admins) reading this who could make an official ruling on the matter, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks all!

Hi everyone. I'm relatively new to the ladder and have a question about a game I tried to play earlier tonight. We were playing 4 players, 20 to 30 turns had gone by, and due to GameSpy server issues or whatever, the game froze, then went out of sync, and then ended when nobody could come back. Alright, time to move on I guess, find another game or whatever. Then I get an email asking me to report a loss to the 3 other players in the game. We only played 20 to 30 turns, and to be honest, I don't even remember what place I was in when the game crashed. I'm pretty sure I wasn't last, though . Anyways, do I really have to report losses on this? It seems pretty crazy, as the game had barely started before it crashed and ended. Thanks a lot . MookieNJ
