    i hate to burst peoples bubbles and hopes of saving this ladder and i hate to say it my self because i used to love this league but this ladder has been long dead. the smartest thing to do right now is to just murge with another league. it would be easiest and make many more people happier, but as for gamesmonop its been long dead

      All right. We can merge with them. They can erase their league and join our ladder :-)

        Exactly!!!!!!! Anyone who knows me at all knows I am totally anti-myleague. I play on 5 different cases ladders for different games and the reason I always choose cases over myleagues.

        Cases is a business that will always make their decisions based on set rules that are clearly stated. Myleagues simply do whatever their admin team wants to do. If its not in their rules, they add or change them.

        There are plenty of spots for an existing myleague to fill here if they simply sign up and agree to play by case's rules. So talk to those admins of leagues you think might like to merge. Tell them we got a great lobby and they can play and host all they want to in it by simply clicking the join button.

          I've been playing in myleagues in other games for a couple of years now. I find nothing wrong with them IF they are run well, and have an administration team that's fair and abides by case's rules. Yes, there ARE some bad ones, so to that I simply say don't join those. Don't make a generalization that ALL myleagues are bad, because that is simply not true. And from what I've seen here so far, I'd pick a myleague for monopoly over case's any day of the week. At least with the myleagues, I'd actually be able to PLAY, unlike what I've been able to do here. You don't even have many TDs now, just 3 total. And on the very rare occasion there has been a tournament scheduled, most never take place because you can't even get 4 people to join. The myleagues for monopoly never have a problem getting 4 players. So, tell me again? Exactly WHY is case's better than myleague (a well-run myleague)?

            Combine all of those leagues that have lots of tournaments into ONE ladder. Imagine the possibilities! We are a small ladder, and yes, we do have problems getting players in tournaments. My personal opinion is that combining ladders/leagues would do a number of things for the Case's/MyLeague Games.com Monopoly Community:

            1. Almost always have a person to play.
            2. Have lots of tournaments.
            3. Establish a united front. What I mean is this, if all of us are united, what can make us fall? Things are more likely to get done at Games.com if we work together.

            All of these are simply my personal opinions, not the policies of this ladder's Op Team or Case's Ladder in general. Given the chance, however, I would absolutely LOVE to see something like this happen.

            Regards,
            Jaguar

              I'm not against merging. I just want them to merge with us and not us with them. Monopoly players need the option of belonging to a league run by Cases and not a Myleague Admin team.

              So again, tell the admins of the leagues you think would be interested to send their memebers here, sign up for td and disband the myleague. If they are willing to play by Case's rules, whats stopping them. We got the open spots on the staff for them dont we?

                So what you're saying, is that you want a league that's well-established, and the administration team worked hard to build up, to join this ladder and save it? And then that myleague would lose their league? Yeah, if I was an administrator of another league, that's exactly what I would want to do. NOT!!!! I think if you want this ladder saved, it's something that has to be done from within. I don't know what happened with this ladder, but I would guess something from within killed it, so it has to be saved the same way. You can't rely on another league or leagues to do it for you.

                  I never said I expected it to happen, funny how the one that started all this "we have to merge" hasnt added anything since his first statement though. I could tell you what killed this ladder and you're right it was within but everytime I mention their name they pop back up and the recent peace is kinda nice.

                    Bill.. Dont bother, you know better, dont waste your energy on her. The ladder isnt going anywhere, and eventually..someday..she will choke on her own venim and die, and the ladder will come back to life :)

                    ..Sty..Pixie.7dzens...Whoever you are this week..
                    Merry Christmas to you too! I havent gone anywhere. I pop "Back up" at least once a week to see whats happening to the ladder, (that I have belonged to loooooong before you barged in and knocked everyone out of your way) hoping to see some improvement You are the one who "popped in" way back when this ladder was rocking and killed it.. Then you swore for months that everything that went wrong on this ladder was my fault...blah blah..(funny how before you ever showed up this ladder was #1) I was a damned good Td, and HTD, until I just decided I didnt need to deal with your crap anymore.. And it hurt to step down, but the freedom from YOU has been well worth it..
                    SO I stepped down months ago, ..your still here &the ladder is Pitiful. Funny, Looks like 90% of the ladder left with me.. and The "Problems" didnt stop .. looks like they got as bad as they can get! I am known all over Cases and Myleagues as decent, hardworking, honest person, and have asked constantly to run other ladders. Yet, you are known as "Oh crap, trouble's here-lets just withdraw now and join another ladder."
                    I have been here since the beginning, and will always be here...
                    So get used to it, or Just leave once and for all.. I swore last year that you would be the death of this ladder, and Looks like you proved me right.. You even stepped down a few months ago when this ladder was down the drain because you didnt want it to look like you were a part of its death. Yet, your still in here posting like you give a dam.. So Why dont you Apply for HTD and help Fix this mess?? You got your wish, and totally took over yet another ladder, got rid of everyone that was good for it, now what?? What are you waiting for?? Who's to blame now? Just gonna let it rot? I truely feel bad for the few good gems left here, and for the New TDM because as long as your around, this ladder will never be the same again. You may have a few new victims fooled for now..But time will reveal the truth.
                    Regardless, I will be here after the holidays to Play some monopoly, so See ya in the Garden!
                    P.S "recent peace"?? If you call a dead ladder and Silence due to Zero-activiy "Peace".. well..You got it.
                    Happy Holidays to you and yours.. Its christmas for Goodness sake.. Nothing can stop you can it?
                    (you can go ahead and state that I just "assumed" you were talking about you..or that I must have killed the ladder because I replied..blah blah.. Make up new stories about me for the new members.. whatever, say what you have to say to make yourself believe that you have "won" the imaginary war with me in your head..I'm not coming back in here until after the holidays, so that should give you plenty of time to Stragically plan your next attack.) If you dont feel the need to reply..Praise the Lord! I just wanted to let you know I havent left, and you should put your $ where your mouth is and Boost this ladder up back to its rightful #1 position. Good Luck!
                    I wish GM the Best. Always have.

But hey, if you wanna say you resigned your position because of me, thats fine, I dont remember it that way but I dont mind taking credit for that one.

I tried to save this ladder in the begining when it first started to go under and failed just as everyone else has that has tried to save it. just look at the past, it will tell all! this ladder is history and once again i just throw out an idea on how to save it and peoples immediate reactions where to shoot it down! i personally think its a great idea or i wouldnt have suggested it. im sorry 7d that ur so self centered that u must think that everything u think and do is so right!

          Why is everyone against brining in another league or merging with one? Wouldn't another league mean more league players in the lobby? I would think players from each league would end up joining the other league as well, which could only help. I can't see how it could hurt at least. There isn't anything going on TO hurt as far as I've seen in the few days since I've joined. I've gone into the lobby numerous times to try to get a ladder match, but have yet to find anyone willing to play.

        ive also been in there off and on and have seen no one in there. the ladder is dead when there is no one to be seen in the lobby or for that matter really on the site. in the last week how many ladder matches have been played? maybe 10 i dunno i havent looked yet but i would guess maybe 10 at best.
