I definitely do not agree with this statement. I would say, if you don't enjoy the competitive side of the SGOTM, go play regular SGs, there are tons of those elsewhere on these forums, where you can play for the fun and learning. There is only one team competition game, and that is the SGOTM. For those of us that truly want a competitive game, where are these other competitions you claim exist?
I'm new to the SGOTM and this current one is my first. If you are correct then i would say the current team formation is completley out of balance. Without being specfic there are some teams that are head and and shoulders above the rest, not only in skill and experience but also in comittment.
If this is a deadly serious competion then you must allow teams to form with the best players (without Moderation swapping or balancing) this is not currently the case - hence my view of a fun/learning game with a competative edge. If this competion is that serious then you are putting alot of pressure on less experienced players, i'm sure it may well put them off as they would feel under pressure not to make a mistake and perhaps stop their turnset at any contenious choice to recieve 'instruction' from the team - which makes it a Democracy game rather than a sucession.
my understanding of a succesion game perhaps is wrong?
GOTM or HoF games are competitive, not team orientated agreed.
Your reply leaves me thinking that the SGOTM is run for the 'clique' of high level players and that noobs and less experienced players are welcome so as they follow the set plan and do not try to play as they would normally, which is at total odds to my understanding of a Sucession game.
Perhaps the SGOTM should be split into a premier league and a lower league?
