How does Maho's algorithm work? I can't remember the details but as far as I can recall it sounded something we could try.

We could also do another two team game like we had with LT35. This time without pooled research.

Or we could do a game with small teams. I'm not sure if this was done before or not. With small teams we could use 3 player teams with maybe 2-3 teams able to win the game. With 30 players that would mean 6-9 winners.

Actually... How about this? We could do a team game with 3 player teams and only 2 teams could win the game. but... those players who feel super confident could start with only 2 or even 1 player teams.

This would also make the alliances half visible to everyone since everyone knows the teams but can't really know who is allying who.

wieder, I love team games because there isn't nearly as much of the "diplomacy" and "you backstabbed me" stuff.

New players FYI: the last team game, LT35 was very simple of just two teams: http://forum.longturn.org/viewtopic.php?id=547 . I highly recommend it. The new players get to watch how the experienced players do it and it's in the best interest of experienced players to teach them. There's a lot of team work, which I love. So this is my preference.

Otherwise if you're doing lots of little teams, it gets complicated how to select them. And the number of winning teams/player should depend on how many players we get. But yes, if we got 30 players then around 6-9 winners is about right, in my humble opinion. However you decide to select them, I'm confident you'd do the best you could to make it as fair as you can.
