For me, the fun in the game itself (outside of hanging out with everyone here) is playing against a well-led, kick-ass team. I'd rather play against 1 superb team than 2 lackluster ones.
And it seems like you guys are rolling in the right direction to really make us fight for every scrap we can get next game. |

Ya know.. this third team may not be a bad deal. Let's weigh the factors shall we:
A. Both Joes and Cobras will have to split the teams... some may have to play with Destro. That way it is not 60 people to 15. It will be 25 per team. SMALLER TEAMS MAKE IT ALOT EASIER ON A LEADER! B. Since VQ said a long time ago... there is no ganging up on one team. If there is.. more penalties will be dished out to those who do it and cost them the game. Equal Oppurtunity. Leaders will have to carefully plan their hits better and find away to win. C. Some people may want to play for Cobra/Joes but do not want to for fear of getting harassed by team mates... so why not make a neutral team for people to play on. If I have missed some good points.. please let me know. If there is something bad that should be thrown into the mix... talk about it. DISCUSSION TIME!!! |

Having attempted with BDB to run a star wars themed game with 4 teams during one of the long interums between GMs, I see a lot of pitfalls if a third team is introduced.
Intentionally or not, two teams will wind up ganging up on another team, unless there is some stipulation that the teams remain within X HP of each other. And if that stipulation is in place, it kinds defeats the purpose of the game. As to introducing parity? I don't think it would help that much. Each team (Joe and Cobra) would lose a number of core players, weakening the team. Cobra needs time to rebuild to have a strong roster, not have it split into a third team. If both sides were of equal strength, I might see some ability to do it, but as it stands, I personally see far more problems than any possible advantage. |

One hypothetical situation: Two teams could have rosters of people who all posted 100% per day, and one team could have a bunch of deadbeats, but those two teams can't attack the deadbeats without a penalty. Therefore, despite the fact that those two teams work their tails off for the whole game, the third team could basically do nothing until the last two days and still find a way to win. That's not fair to the teams that do work hard. Similarly, lets say that all three teams are equal in post percentage and what have you. On the last day, such a restriction would mean they are within 5 HP of each other. Lets say that they are all at 50 HP. Who do the leaders say to attack? Both opponents equally? But what if each of the other teams target them. Or attack one team? Same problem unless the other teams happen to go for each other. No matter how you want to play it out, one team will get screwed on the last day in most scenarios. The only way that the last day might wind up fair to all teams is if each team attacked another team, and that team attacked the third forming a sort of circle of damage. But the chances of that happening are so ridiculously unlikely that its hardly worth considering.

Well.. all I got to say is this is VQ's baby. He can do as he wants with it. I think if we have a 3rd team.. it should be the Dreadnoks because some people on the Tank actually like the Dradnoks better than Iron Grenadiers. Playing a Dreadnok crew may actually bring mroe people into the fold. Like I said.. right now.. I am on Cobra. So unless something changes.. I know where I stand. It maybe in quicksand.. but hell I am here.

Cobralala and I will work out the logistics...
Nothing is official until he says so It could work and here is an example.. The IG and cobra teams attack Joe HQ Their combined strength is almost double the hit power of Joe. The solution? Auto weapon systems and special counter commands. Could even out the playing field but Like I said......Cobralalal is the one to say yes or no to this, yeah I want that 3rd team but he is the GMD. More info to come when it comes so for now.....just know that its a possibility. Latter guys, I do have to run. |

The tragedy that fell upon the Star Wars game was the trivia. The game itself was fine with posting and people playing. The Trivia is what killed that because some people did not know Star Wars or the Filecard Trivia. I know that was your baby and BDB's... but that failure of that fell upon the trivia and you know it!

But why IG???!!! I mean come on... the Joes can offer the Dreadnoks more money and then blam!!! Trust me VQ.. if you do this... someone is gonna have to monitor this full time. You can't just piddle around and not pay attention because then something will happen and you got a flame war from hell. Can we just have a 3rd team and call it MAELSTROM!!
