i am kind of new to this game and need some help. i am getting very good at this game except when i have to play lame people who uses unfair races. namely UK, England, France, and of course Korea. so, someone told me this trick by using alt=f4 to get out of playing against these lamers. problem is sometime i still get a loss when i do this!! is this because i am pushing Alt-f4 too late? any help would be appreciated.
btw, i am going to start a clan in the next few weeks. if anyone want to join, let me know. the rules are that you can not be a lamer and use the above race and only experts can join(top 250 on the ladder). ill keep you guys informed

Thanx for letting me know guys that it's cheating. This whole time I thought it was a simple feature SSSi put in the game to escape should you not want to play an age.
I've used Alt+F4, but very few times. And I NEVER have used it because so and so was a certain civ. I've only used it because I was practicing with certain civs in Med-Imp, but had no desire to play WWI.
I think a simple solution would be an error message, like "sorry, we cannot find a match". But to get an age you don't feel like playing, and then to be forced to play it anyway, just isn't right imo.
I do think that you guys need to tone down a bit though. It may be cheating, but I feel you guys are overreacting. I can kind of feel what the guy's going through. And I don't want this forum to build a reputation of being like a pack of hyenas that all jump on someone at the same time, do you?

Oh yes, I am sure the entire Empires community will heed your request, just for you!
You're being a bit naieve, I am afraid. With the new patch, there are some priveleged civs, yes, but really everything is fair game. I say just clench your teeth and play whatever fate throws at you, it's the only way you'll get better.
And didn't you say you weren't coming here anymore?
http://www.dojoclan.net Well I was talking to Kman, and he was like "what do you do?" and I was like "Oh, I act, go to school, dance, sing, play soccer and stuff. What do you do?" and he was like "AntiAmi." so I figured hey, it's an occupation. - Ultima_Knight

I don't want to lose all hope in the future of humanity, so I'm going to hold on to the possibility that I_hate_lamers is a smurf of someone on these forums, who wanted to have a bit of fun.
Please oh please oh please let it be so...
