God damn Blackbart is so triggered over nothing. This is hilarious.

There is nothing new under the sun, same old stuff circulating around. When I found Warlight, 20+ players FFA´s seemed just awesome on paper, until you played few and pretty much all of the were/are played poorly. And to be honest, there is not much to do about it, thousand ways to communicate outside Warlight => and nothing can solve that!

Just to give some thought into the topic (not expecting nor thinking Developers would put time do it, but has seen such practice in similar situations). But who-ever wants can Uservoice it or Spam Fizzer.

Now imagine FFA game, where there are no names on players (can´t click profile links), just [Player_1], [Player_2], [Player_3].... Their assigned colours do not matter. Each player has randomised colours on each player and each time they re-open game to commit, it is again randomised. Now lets assume there is a Normal Fog. And PM´s as well chat are disabled.
=> This would eliminate much of co-operation, teaming by closing communication and identification of other players (although there is a room for giving signs to bordering players for example to be friendly: but as you can imagine it is risky each turn). Again this would not solve the first problem of teaming outside Warlight. But in this case breaches would be much easier to detect, if such practice would be prohibited.

Good ideas Tranq - but obviously these people can run a chat and get around most of it.

I run my own game called Pirate Warriors and I post rules about teaming and collaboration. I have had to BL many people who join and try to play the weak-minded collaboration method, acting infantile and confrontational. Over time, that has led to a group of probably 30-40 people who are like minded and play in a sporting way.

In my mind host should post whether teaming is allowed and a general rule of thumb is whether or not PM is on or off. Someone tell me what fun it is to have people team up and "cheat" in a sporting game? Yes, I used the word cheat. It is cheating and it is for the weak.

I blacklisted BlackBart

All idiots are welcome to BL me.

I don't welcome idiots to blacklist me but they do it anyway.

More tl;dr from Blackbart honestly get over it drama queen
