I've just played an online game (small map, 7 civs).
Fun game, until someone starts gaining an advantage. Then everyone just quits (except me and the score leader). Really annoying. It was actually a pretty nice game. Then the guy who had the advantage also quits... Why start a game when you don't want to finish it (after maybe an hour of play)...

Well, I guess this experience should teach me not to play online civ against people I don't know.

OK, thanks for listening to my silly frustrations.
I really did like the speed of the game though. Much faster in seeing your plans develop than pitboss.

That pretty much sums up my experiences. The only way to see a game through is to play with people you know or on a ladder. Both have their downsides, people you know may not be available to play when you are and some of those ladder guys take it way too seriously, but either of those is way better then people giving up when they start to fall behind
