I certainly hope there are provisions for team leagues, as that will be much more fun and meaningful than just for individual players. Sort of like what Sir Lindsley did with his world cup, only with teams. That would make it similar to a real sporting team. Seasons, playoffs, etc.


Yes, I hope so too (team games).

And besides, I hate playing single games. I get no energy from myself, and enjoy the interaction between players. Some folks ONLY play singly, and gain high stats that way. If you want a truly random mix, jump into a multi-player scenario, where you don't know most of the players. I find that to be more challenging, and also more aggrevating. Many don't fit into team play, being much more into their own stats just for the sake of their stats. In team play I've learned just who some of the frequent perps are, staying alone and picking up crumbs, those that will butt in your way simply to get a shot in, and the quitters. I wonder why these guys even worry about their stats if they do, but that may be their problem.


Here's where we differ. I agree that YOU do not enjoy individual games, but, I do. I find them more challenging, every game I play of any kind, I prefer face to face, 1 on 1, sports, games, etc. Doesn't matter if I always lose (which is fun as then it is a challenge to get better), or, always win (cause then I want to win by more!). So, I find challenge in all of them. So, I disagree that it is ALWAYS people playing for stats, maybe many times or some times, but not always. I don't think you said always, but, still, just pointing that out. I am not a team player in the office, or anywhere! But, I do enjoy the WSIM team games as typically office politics does not come into play.

But that's my cup of tea.


In multi player games the turns take so long that I do not notice stragglers. I play for a team win, with maintaining self preservation with my ship(s). I was accused in one game of jumping in for a kill but it looked like the right move to make at the time. Let's face it-the individual stats get distorted during a multi game, that is why some players have made "team" names. Not a bad idea. I used to kinda worry abput points per game but it is pointless because each scenario is different and to maximize points the "breakout" scenario would be the only one to play. That is not a viable option. There should just be more stats and there should not be a commingle of the stats with the cartagena, vive king, etc. stats when the site is merged over. Anyway do not we all play for the fun of it? Why else would we be here. But winning is better than losing!
