| (maybe limit it for elite warlords?.. but then we're not going to have an influx of new players; maybe a minimum amount of posts though to qualify for citizenship so we could spot red flags easier)
Now see, the only problem I see here is that this might rule out folks like swordinthestorm, and grandgeneral, who have been two of the more active members in the flailing d-game. 
If the person who's supposed to play the turns doesn't send them back, the guy on the other team can just keep sending it to the next person in charge on the other team so that it won't get too backed up.
Better yet, the two teams can each create a team email on something like yahoo or hotmail, in which a common user name and password are known by all the team members. It's not that difficult to do these days.
A while back, some of us actually had a 3 team PBEM going that von had graciously set up a map for on the civ3. There were no AI involved in this game, and since there were only three teams involved we usually got in a save a day so the slowness issue was not a factor, and we even did manage to have a couple of power sessions too.
I can speak for my team, which, surprise surprise was Ness and I. The other teams eventually broke down to just one play each, which gave Ness and I an advantage (the more brains the better!  ) and we split the turns up into 5 turns at a time- enough to set basic goals and not too much to keep the other out of the loop for too long. And we had a forum set up to discuss strategy and whatnot and keep track of basic information. And if someone was going to be on vacation for a while, ok, forget the five and five rule, one of would play until the other got back and then we'd even out the turns then.
It wasn't a "Democracy game" so to speak, but a team PBEM where each player on the team, theoretically has input and each team can establish their own team-dynamics however they wish.
IMO it was a nice spin on the basic game-style concept.  |
