Malleable teams:

What about games where you could team up half way through? or leave someones team? sort of like world war 2, only without the stalemate at the end where noone does anything till one of the players croaks.

USE THE FORM or this will not be looked at, and you will be wasting your time here.

Who would allow/disallow a player joining/leaving a team? A team vote or just the players own choice? Also should 6 v 2 teams be allowed?
I could see loads of abuse issues with the first option (friends treating this style as regular team games against opponents that don't) and loads of "no win" games with the other option (due to all players about to loose a game joining up the winning team).



How/when would such a team join/switch event take place? At the start of a game round? At the start of the joining players next round? Instantly when chosen?

I can't see this happening to be honest, what with all the abuse potential. It would be impractical for all of the mods to check every single game for abuse etc.

This would be fun in the real life...erm...variant, though
