Lobby Games Etiquette - A Guide

I mostly play ranked but sometimes like to mix it up with a few lobby games. At first I was really confused about the culture there but after a few months I think I finally got the hang of it, so let me be your guide:

In the lobby - as a host:

• Give your game a descriptive and helpful title such as "no idiots", "GG", "54165465", "Jogo de Jack" or "HOST HERE". Plus points if your title is very long so that it scrolls left and right and cannot be read at once.
• Make sure to set at least one game setting wrong so as to test the attention of the joining players. "Lock Speed" and "Lock Teams" are obvious choices here, plus points for something more tricky like "Victory: Score".
• Be sure not to mention any actual ELO ranges in the title but instead use very specific code: Absolute Beginner (700-1200), Beginner (800-1000), Super Noob (900-1200), Noob (800-1200), Good Noob (800-1300), Very Good Noob (900-1400), Semi Noob (900-1500), Professional Noob (1000-1500), Average (1100-1500), Pro (> 1500).
• Be aware that the ELO range of each category changes depending if you are the host (higher) or a joining player (lower).
• If you do acutally mention ELO ranges in the title, correct your mistake by then not enforcing it.

In the lobby - as a player:

• Right after joining spam "14", regardless if the lobby is full or not. This signals that you are ready to go. However, make sure to be the last to actually ready up.
• If the lobby has a game setting mentioned in the title such as "RANDOM CIV", ask if you are allowed to choose a civ. Make sure to argue about it instead of hosting your own game.

In the game:

• Resign at the slightest sign of pressure or failure. Your sneak vill was found? Resign. The opponent has more than one scout? Resign. You can't find all your sheep? Resign. You get to castle too slow? Believe it or not: resign. The opponent gets to castle too fast? Also; resign. Too slow - to fast, resign. The opposing team has the score lead in feudal? Resign.
• If at any point you are up against 2 players at once, even just for a second, make sure to immediately complain about it. Plus points if it is a 3v3, extra plus points if it is an FFA.
• If you are being rushed do not alert your team mates until your position is completely lost, then complain about not getting any help.
• It is good manners to be AFK in at least one out of ten of your games.
• The correct way of ending lobby games is not by saying "gg" but "gg noob team", extra points if you are the last one on the score board.

Hope that was helpful!
