If Classical_hero is successful in getting another team to join, do we want to continue with 5 teams or also add a 6th one and reshuffle to keep it an even number? Either way is valid, looking for any strong statements one way or the other.

For that matter, given the rate at which people are joining do we want to hold it a week or so to see if we can squeeze in teams 7 and 8? :D

I wans't getting a new team started, I was inviting some PBEMer's to join my team that I am already in. I doubt i will be able to get enough participants.

4 is the perfect number - enough for alliances, diplomacy and all, yet small enough to actually keep the game moving. This game shouldn't last my entire life.

Just stick with 4 teams.

never mind, misunderstood Classical_hero's intent... :blush:
