My apologies, there will be 8 on each team. Yes, awesomebloc, there will be teams.

Might as well go ahead and post that m0ntana was looking for help from me, and I've helped to organize some of his thoughts. The game hasn't been tested yet, but we think it'll be an interesting concept.

There are actually eight players per team, not four (although you can have less). Assuming full teams, each player will control one unit, and if there aren't full teams on both sides, then some or all players will have control over multiple units. People HAVE to be active if they want to play, or they'll get kicked and we don't want the game to disintegrate to a 1v8 because some dude's team decided to ditch the forums for a while. We've also discussed adding multiple units, and unfortunately, due to the obvious balance problems that would arise, only three different units will be played. Who knows, though? Montana might come up with an idea he can balance in and we might be able to let you guys beat the crap out of each other with bo staffs or giant rocks and clubs.

If you want to participate, you have to promise that you won't spam up the thread once we start it and that you'll be at least be active once every three or five days (we haven't determined the length of each turn yet).

Wonder how teams will work. Maybe each person has a turn to move one of their teams pieces?

It could be a while before we get this game set up. We have to test it ourselves to ensure that what we currently have is balanced and fair, with no way to exploit the system for an easy win or an endless stalemate.

Each team will take a single turn of three days or less, depending on how fast everyone submits their choices. We'll have a system for you to be able to move your pieces through PM. Each person controls one unit (unless we get less than eight per team, in which case some people will control multiple units). This demands heavy teamwork between the group in order to coordinate their army.

pm me info.

Yes, people. There will first be a test with me, Luzoto, and a few other Skype friends. After that, we'll have another test game with chosen Stick Empire players, then the game will be released.

Okay, I'll try to work on it tonight, or in the next few days. Should be ready soon.
