Just letting everyone know that I was just in a H-2-H lobby with vl DigiTal lv and he would not play me. He says he has muted everyone in the top 150 that uses a power civ. I told him I was picking the Spanish and he still would not ready up. Sounds to me like he's to scared to face anyone that would give him a challenge cause he just wants to play scrubs to keep his precious rank up.
He has always been like that. He wont play friends blades and I included or power civers. Us on the other hand will only play top 100. He prefers to have a large win to loss ratio
I see you and Blades reason for being so high and need the quality and higher ranked games to get more than 1 point for the win and sometimes that don't even happen all the time facing top 100. Vl digital I guess wants it to be known that he has a mission and he not letting ANYTHING (Very good players) stop him.Originally Posted by Digitalpackrat
Again, don't bring this crap on the forum please, or at the very least don't make a new thread every time you want to say something like this. I'm not here to read this stuff.
Your are right... It is understandable will stop posting on this one.
Ok I understand your post in the beef thread but they arent bashing on him for sucking or saying or calling hima cheat....so whats the problem with this thread? Digital lurks here from time to time.....if he reads this and challenges some of us to matches Im all for it.....
With all do respect Hydro if you don't like my posts don't read them. The forums are for people who want to share their comments and opinions to the civ rev community. That is what I am doing. Civ Rev is full of ignorant people and I for one am tired of keeping quiet about it. You cannot sit there and tell me that atleast once a week someone doesn't do something on this game that blows you away from the sheer stupidity of their comments or actions. It happens to all of us. PEOPLE NEED TO BE CALLED OUT ON THEIR CRAP!
There are lots of players i will never play. Most are people who have cheated me in some way (freezers, demo glitchers, etc.) or are annoying. But some of them are usa only players who are obviously experienced enough not to have to rely on America's broken bonus.
If rank means alot to him he might not want to take the chance that you might be lying to him.
I'd take your point if it was just my opinion but it happens to also be included in the forum rules. Here's a quote - "Don't call people out, don't post obvious troll threads, and try your hardest not to start flame wars."
I'll do you one better. Here is the entire "rule" you are refering to
Respect each other: It's really important to be respectful to all community members, and the 2K Games community as a whole. It's fine to debate and argue, but don't insult, use name-calling, or troll other members to try to get your point across. Don't call people out, don't post obvious troll threads, and try your hardest not to start flame wars. We all love games, and we all have strong opinions. Please remember that, and respect each other. Keep in mind that moderators and administrators of this site are members of the community, too!
Since you are apparently the most non-confrontational person on the forums and you have been on here for a long time I will not create new threads with such topics not for the "rules" sake but for you. However, I refuse to just not post it somewhere. We all love playing this game and for far too long there have been people who come along and intentionaly try to ruin it. Cheaters, Freezers and all around A-holes. The only way to get rid of such ignorance is to reveal it and let everyone know to avoid those individuals. I did not insult, namecall, or troll this individual. I tactfully told the community what vl DigiTal lv adimately relayed to me. XBL will not do anything about cheaters,freezers and a-holes so banning together and refusing to tolerate their nonsense is the only means of action we have. You stated in another thread that most good players don't play ranked anymore. That is not what I have seen and even if it were true there are still a lot of people who care about their rank and I am one of them. So until someone presents a better idea for getting rid of these shenanigans I will continue to let people know about them. For your sake however I will not post them in a new thread until one day you realize I am right.
Couldn't have said it any better my friend. I love ranked and I for one know the many on there good but not part of forums. H2h really to me is a easier way to win. Half the people I see on here isn't able to go high ranked even if they cared not using Zulu, America or China. I changed my view of using Zulu and used Arabs. It takes REAL skill to dominate as much on ranked even through the freezes and cheating. I did it and don't mind not holding back my glory of it. Well said Slaughterz!
That's true but I've been practically retired from the game for quite a long time now so you've probably never even heard of or played most of the 'good players' I had in mind. There might be new elite players now, but I'm not convinced that you guys are up on that level just yet. I'm talking about players who got into top 10 H2H, when about 3 of the top ten were known freezers, playing only mongols, that's one example.You stated in another thread that most good players don't play ranked anymore. That is not what I have seen and even if it were true there are still a lot of people who care about their rank and I am one of them.

I wouldn't mind you calling out freezers or glitchers, if you had some proof anyway, but you'll find that the moderators will come in, lock the thread, and delete all the names you called out. You might even be suspended if you do it multiple times.
One thing you could do is put known cheaters in your X-Box Live profile, some people do that. A nice trick is also to mute players that you want to avoid in future, this never goes away unless you change it so you'll know you have a reason not to play someone if they're muted in the lobby. Hell, send a mass message over X-Box live if you have to, that happens too.
I mean, just don't make a new thread every time something like this happens to you. Everyone needs to let off some steam sometimes (well except me apparently), I'm sure there's another suitable thread you could make a comment like this in.
Umm... Arabs are one of the best H2H civs. Try getting 1500 points (not that high at all) using Russia only. That takes real skill.
Ha...he lurks.......liam is looin for you to play the finals of your bracket...he wants in on the next one if he loses....
If your practically retired from the game as you just stated. Then how would you know if the elite players now are not on the same level as the elite players when the game first came out? I have to respectfully disagree with you, I started playing this game when it first came out and the players from back then are not on the same level as the elite players now. I may not be known by some of you because I stopped playing about 2 1/2 years ago. Get back on hydro please. I would like you to witness.
You're absolutely right there, the players I have in mind were quite active up to until a couple of months ago.I started playing this game when it first came out and the players from back then are not on the same level as the elite players now
BTW just because I talked about elite players, don't assume I am one! I'm absolutely not, I never invested enough time in the game to get to that level. I've just been here a long time so I know a lot of the game theory.
I'd gladly give you a game but you'll only ever see me online on weekends or during the holidays because my X-Box isn't with me at university. Add HydroDragon95 if you want, if you see me online give me an invite.
Thats h2h Duke... Not FFA. H2H is too easy to win. Even with Russia... FFA is where its at. To take out 3 human players and all them are possibly good... lets say even two are good, Duke. That then doubles the chance of you losing. That also means less barbs and not a higher chance to take an AI because the other AI is now a human player. I don't want to hear about that h2h mess because FFA is where it is at and much harder to rank up... THANK YOU!
FFA is where it is at? Harder to rank up? Uh no it is not. H2H you lose the game and you lose points. In Ffa you lose and you still get points. H2h is absolutely harder than ffa. Ffa just has more freezes.
Exactly. FFA just isn't worth the hassle, imo. I don't know how it is on X-box but on ps3 hth is definately "where it's at". FFA not only has frequent freezes when someone leaves the game but it can take an eternity to get the required # of players for a game (on ps3, anyway). Hth is only "easy" if your opponent sucks or u are using a vastly superior civ and get at least a decent start.
You can speak on ps3 all you want because thats what you on. I been on ps3 and know that h2h is where its at BECAUSE NO ONE PLAYS FFA ON PS3!
Posted in wrong thread...

I have been in the top 6 in ffa having only played like 80 games to get to that point. H2H is harder to get to the higher ranks on and to remain high despite all of your absurd objections. Yes you can lose points in ffa if you lose a game with total noobs in it but if a decent ranked player(s) are then you do not. In h2h you always lose points with a loss.
People in ffa tend to be weaker opponents on average in my experience as well.
Yes because most people play FFA... not h2h. I can object as much as I want as it goes on a persons experience. We can argue till the sun sets but no one that plays h2h consistently will understand FFA for what it is.
Apparently you don't play alot of FFA Asmodeios. I been playing this game 3 years and had more freezes in h2h than FFA. Secondly you do lose major points in FFA. I know even more me reaching rank 4 on FFA before my reset. I lose 1 DANG GAME I GO DOWN 20 TO 40 POINTS. You haven't been that high in rank in FFA to "understand" but it is much harder to go up rank there. IF it was so dang easy to go up in FFA then I would see everyone neck and neck in rating points to reach top 10. I think punk dudes mess with h2h all day, every day fam! Because? You only have one real competitor. Not FFA peeps... you need to stop falsifying stuff and anyone else for the matter! F#($ freezes dude... too many people complain likes some wussies about them and say that stops them from ranking up but I got there fam!
I'm tired of the excuses I continue to hear from people about why they can't do this and that. Steady with the crying but won't just do better with whoever they want to choose. Somebody Jack mentioned in another thread that "you can pick whatever civ you want" and not playing someone because they choose a particular civ is "pathetic"! If I don't want to choose Russia consistently then hell I don't, famo (To dukeblue). Skills can come from using any civ man. Stop complaining about whoever uses who and how you can't care about rank because that is where the action stays and I LOVE IT!
Copy and pasting your same wrong points over and over does win an argument, prove yourself right, or convince anyone of your false assertions.
What are you talking about... points, copy and pasting, prove, convince? Must be them drugs...
Your last post(24) was the exact same post as the one you edited above(21). I replied to 21 with my post and you replied to it with the post i replied to.
Give it a rest guys.... Our (largely) un-moderated forum is fine without all this carp.
I edited that post because it showed up in another thread that I had in a separate window. When I go back to edit the post it shows that it was in this thread so I don't know but I wasn't sure enough going to not post what I wanted to be posted in this thread. Next subject!
Does hostility follow asmod wherever he goes?? Theres no point getting upset arguing an Opinion related subject guys, you wont get anywhere when everyone in the debate is hard headed......anyways......which is easier....doesnt that come down to who your OP is....and yes if you have multiple op's that are good that game logically, and in my experience usually is tougher than just playing one opponent. Ranking up in h2h might not being easier but it definitely takes way less time. Petal2Metal once said that a skilled player should be able to make the top 10-5 in H2H in less than 50 games and I find that to be true. Ive consistently made it to the top 10, and a few times the top 5 in less than 50 games in H2H. That is practically impossible in FFA because you have to get 600+ more points. Also, getting from #5 to # 1 in either is incredibly hard so I think this is really a nonissue....I will give anyone props for making it past top 10 in either as long as fair play is involved. The respect just goes higher when a weak civ is used to do it.
Really MPB, i don't understand why u would call people "punks" for preferring a different format than u do. You love ffa and think that's "where it's at". Fine. Not everyone feels the way u do though. Like u said, nobody on ps3 plays ffa. At least, not ranked. I've played maybe a couple dozen ffa player matches though and about 80% of them have been unintentionally frozen after 1 of players leaves the game. In hth, that rarely if ever happens cause when your opponent leaves you win outright. In ffa, the games tend to go on longer (if the game doesn't freeze) and the longer the game goes on the more likely that it will freeze up or resynchs start becoming a pain in the ***.
Very rare is it that you have multiple good opponents in a game in ffa.
VERY RARE. Most of the time it ends up being a h2h match anyway.
So tru.....
Maybe so but then if you are all having these "h2h" in FFA then why the heck is you "h2h" kings not easily ranking in FFA then? Even h2h? FFA will stay more of a challenge... I should prove my point right and play h2h and get in the top 10 in there within a week of playing 10 games a day. It will be with Indians too as main civ. I swear this is so tiring of the h2h play compared to FFA... going against one opponent is SOOOOO hard when the rest of civs is AI's. Funny... nothing against really those who dominate in h2h but I mean really... let it be two other players in there people wouldn't doing so well.
I agree though that yes, the games in FFA become h2h later mostly but to get to it getting there and not having taken any caps is something. A cap takes the game far into your favor... knowing this easily in h2h play, trying to do this FFA is even more hard. AI is more stupid than humans and more predictable.
Apologies for calling h2h players punks... anger... was... RISING!
Why does the fact that so many people prefer hth upset u, though? No one is stopping you from playing ffa.Apologies for calling h2h players punks... anger... was... RISING!
Because talk about FFA like it is gay or something... when the heck h2h become so great?
Dont worry.....you will convert......the forum members have always favored H2H....I came to the forum the same way.....all the big dogs only really played H2H back then too.......I thought it was soooo lame.....and now....its all I play....
