The Whinger: much like the chatter but as well as epxplaining his loss on annoying God that day, will whinge about having no iron bronze horses luck or just about anything that happens in the game untill he leaves the game usually because he got killed by someone with no iron bronze horse luck etc, but isn't stupid enough to tell evryone in the game about this(I ocassionaly fall into this category, but I dont go on all game and have the sense to say it just as I research construction and hook up Elephants)
Gods gift to CIV or whatever: This gamer has been there seen it bought the T shirt, in his vast experience of online gaming, anywhere from 6 months to playing CIVII online before it was written in 200BC. Knows everything and is better than everyone else because he has a win streak of +25 and a win percentage above 60%. Proceeds to remind everyone just how superb and awesome he is at the game, mock and generally belittle anyone else, right up to the point where someone snaps and takes him out with 4 archers and an axeman.
The NOOB/ANTINOOB: the player that declares himself to be an absolute noob while he runs off with a 200 score lead all game and kills all 7 players in the game.
The Kwizatz Haderrak(a sci fi version of Jesus): like God's gift to civ but actually is that good and doesnt even need to say it, so consequently doesn't. Players who inspire the expression WTH how did he do that far more often than you would like.
The idiot: just about every player at some point in MP falls into this catagory, you spend the alot of time in the staging room analysing in depth some pretty amazing startegies and tactics with other players only to find that you die turn 20 to a single axemen, while your still blabbering on about staregy A and not paying attention to the game.
The silent but deadly: the player either through a lack of English comprehension or just a lack of interest in being provoked, proceeds to make you look like a complete arse simply by killing you and another neighbour without raising a sweat simultaneously.
The prophet: Knows so much about the game can tell exactly who will win about turn 20 or who will do what or whatever, liken these players to Nostredamous alot of vague nonsense that could mean anything, but if 1 just 1 damn thing happens they predicted there somehow frigging prescient.
The Unknowingly Elitist vet: Pretty good at the game experienced and cool under pressure, unfortunately will often only play with other vets and spends most of his time ignoring anything you say to him/her without even realising just how ignorant that makes them look. Then acting indignant when you accuse them of being elitist
The cheat: too many of these for my liking, should lynch them all
The exploiter: like the cheat but uses game exploits to win
The arse: see this entire thread for examples
The smacktard: see above
The gloater: the guy who wins by a series of chance occurances but proceeds to gloat and regail anyone who will listen about his vastly superior gaming skills, even though he won because someone accidently marched all there units out of a city forgetting that they were stacked.
The clown: actually a hell of alot of fun to play with, not that good at civ but makes you laugh so much you end up falling prey to a sneak attack whilst your colapsed in fits of laughter under your computer.
The child: age is no indicator of the child, will proceed to throw toys out of pram unless the game starts to go precisely the way he wants from the moment he has a run of bad luck to the moment he inevitably dies, yeah gg my arse, lucky bstard. to which the reply is after there gone, don't know what he was on about I had 3 modern armour on his 4 spearmen and then I had 6 gunships on his musketmen and he lost 2 cities?
The patron: or the patroniser, the player who knows it all and consequently will spend most of the game telling you just how clever he is and sjust how stupid you are, normally gets killed by the silent but deadly.
the rest: normal people with varying levels of skill or experience which have there moments of being at least partially many of the above but in general are there to have some fun pound a few civs and not worry too much about statistics or rank.
There are millions of others but I can't think if them atm.
I had forgotten DD. I'm ok I supose but I think there's a few beta testers who could kick my arse easily.
