Ladder Intro, Basic Rules, and FAQ

[plloyd1010]

Good grief. Some of us haven't the time or the inclination for this kind of over-regulated competition. Some of us play PG with people that we want to play with, because we enjoy shared play -- you know -- for the fun and with good company. Don't misinterpret this as a reflection of some kind of timidity to engage with others.

That's a little strong, don't you think? Especially since participation is completely voluntary, regulation is honorary between the players and it's games we are likely to play anyway. How much worse is this compared to people who play umpteen scenarios to advance in rank? (Yes, they do exist.) You've not signed up for ladder. Game play still counts the same, whether on the ladder or not. What's it to you?
