I'm tired about suggesting and asking this to Ryan. It should have been added years ago if you want this site to grow. How about we just create a sister site from scratch. I'm sure we can find some coders who want to code for fun and same goes for finding some funding to start it up.

We need a seperate competition with team rankings because this monthly competition is boring as hell. No more advantage to pgaers or harcore otf'ers! No need for bans or endless discussions about favoritism or not.

the format I would love the most is 5 or maybe 7 player teams. Obviously there need to be more than 3 players in a team because not everyone is online at the same time. But I would like to make the teams as small as possible (and limit everyone to joining 2 teams maximum?)

a team can sit 3 players in 3v3 games or 2 in 2v2v2v2 and 2v2

anyway, I am cool with 3v3 as long as everyone agrees and the winning team rolls of for 1st (no funneling to the top player).

just don't bully people too hard into agreeing

you can think of other ways to overcome the 7th player problem (him or her losing so many points).

7th can just press end turn and take a domless 4th (that should make him lose only a few hundred points on a 2k). teams can play for 123(with dom) and 567.

Lands can be taken from the neutral 7th player but obviously he can't be stabbed by taking his last land. Just as obvious, you can't take his second last land so that he is left with a key land in a bottleneck for a fight. If everyone agrees, "grey" can move out of the way.

Someone can create an alt called "This Is A Team Table" and try to get a 500/2k table for the next month :P

good idea dott, it actually only needs a few k because you get tables for a top300 finish

someone should also make a TRAINING or ASK_QUESTIONS_HERE table that way so there is a meeting place for noobs to get some teaching from the regulars.

It's sad that we have to try and come up with temporary solutions like this

I can't even begin to imagine how many times me and other people must have asked Ryan for permanent 6 player tables, a noob training table (with a clear name), etc etc

hmmm, maybe a medallist with a twitter account could change his/her name to @TEAM_TABLE or @NOOB_HELP_HERE on the last day of the month

Thank you for your interest, guess we need more people though to fulfill those ideas

Maybe people join as soon as its all done :P Only 9 days to finish the month, so...creating a twiter account right now. The more players try it, the more chances we have to get it :)

Am I the only one who has been playing team games for the past 5 years?

Well i tried, but luck isnt agree with the idea...

Instead of requiring people meet each other and create teams Jurgen why don't we just make tables 3v3 with random teams of alternating turns.

That way your ranking can be independent of those who you play with. Winnings can be dependent on whether your team wins or loses (I'd prefer this) or whether you win and live or die. I prefer the former because the latter I assume could allow people to funnel by killing their teammates.

Winnings would split equally among the team just as losses would be split equally among the losers - to avoid any sort of surrender for placement.

Also Cxion was supposed to have done this but as we all know their UI is shit.
