You should take life less seriously, why care if <radomInternetLoser> is crowing that he kicked your *** when you got a bum draw? Dominions always has a fair amount of luck as to who wins (assuming skill levels are in the same ballpark), seems silly to refuse to play "random nations" in a game where a random event can essentially eliminate you on turn two, or you get sandwiched between three aggressive players, or you've got very low resources around your capitol while dependent on capitol only troops, or a bug eats your pretender, or...

I wouldn't take the ladder too seriously, but I guess to each his own.
