Team games require a huge time commitment and dedication... taking up to a year to play in some instances... and with players having to basically "clear" all their other PBeM games to focus exclusively on the team game. Invariably, there are delays as players deal with work, vacations, and other life "stuff." And, unfortunately, when a side starts losing... some players tend to "disappear"... and than more delays as folks try to recruit new players.
IMO, team games work best when players know and have played against each other in previous matches... have similar skill levels... and generally the "better" team game sides are with players who are friends with each other. Team games can be a fun and exciting gaming experience provided the above conditions are in place... AND players make a dedicated effort to stick with it for a long period of time. For me, I've tried team games... and don't care for them... as I would rather have several small-to-medium sized PBeM CS games underway against different opponents instead of one monster game.
I see that you recently joined the CS ladder? You may wish to get in a few more games against different opponents... before making the leap into team games? :chin:
Hi
Thanks for sharing you thoughts. I have teamed up with DrArturius as he happens o be my good friend and we have been playin each other for two year before joining up at the blitz. I know very well his skill level as well as his availabilty and dedication. Based on that we decided to try finding opponents for a team game. Given this we hoped to find couple of guys which know each other a well as we do and would be interested in a game with us.
thanks
