I once played 10 hours, only stopping to use the bathroom and bring food to my desk.

I've done maybe half that, probably a bit more back in grade school, but recently (last six months) five/six is the most I've done without exiting the game for a break .

4 hours. I loaded the game in the early industrial ages and won the game in the early Modern Age...I got called "the pathetic" even though I beat the highest scoring AI by over 100 points and the lowest-scoring one by 300 points...

yeh, how do u get higher than worthless or pathetic!!, it seems impossable.
longest ive played is probably 2-3 hrs.

10 hours straight from begining to end i have found that if you destroy the other civs as quickly as possible u get a higher ranking i once destroyed everyone by 130bc

All has to do with your difficulty. I did Regent and came out on top with more than 4000 points, that earned me the second-highest score possible, magnificent I think, I really don't remember.

It has to do with how you do overall, not compared to the other civs.

Since then, I've gotten "the weak" with a score double what I had before, even though I lost...go figure...

Played Madden ten until my GF threatened to dump me, that was at 11 hours.... She really dumped me on the 13th hour, so I got off the game and sweet talked her, Lol....
