I'd join! I'm trying to get one of my friends to start playing, so I'll have a team then...

Playing a support role can be exciting too. But i don't really see this being the case, if it was formatted right. If it was just whichever team included the player who got 1st it'd be a problem because that would encourage one player to drill mines for the other and give up all of their territory to help them win faster, but i think we can avoid this if the advancing team is chosen by combined neptunium at the end of the game.

That could work, but I feel like it would lose that finish line of 200 neptunium. While it would still happen, it wouldn't be much of a race...
Perhaps it could be based on medals still? And take the average of the two positions of the teammates? That way you can't just take 1st and 4th?
In essence it's the same things, but 1. It's easier and 2. It's clearer.
You do kind of lose the accuracy of combined neptunium, though.

If it's only 2v2, then what happens if a team does take 1st and 4th? The average of 1st and 4th is the same as 2nd and 3rd, so you'd have a tie. You could say that the team with someone in 1st would win in the event of a tie, but in that case whichever team takes first would always win, leaving you with the original problem. That could work with 2v2v2, though.

Hey everyone. Sorry for the late reply I had no idea there would be so much interest for this.

This is where it came from. I am playing an 8players game with 3 other friends. So we make up half the map. After 2 players quit, we eliminated 2 more and we were left to fight each other. Not long after it became a 3v1 with the 1 rotating. After a while it became a 2v2 and it seems like it will stay like this until the end. At this point I just want to kill my 2 other friends and I dont care if i get silver or bronze. (We got very competitive ) The idea is that one of the members of the teams should win. So if standings are like this: Team 1, Team 2 , Team 2, Team 1... Team 1 would win. Only 1st place matters.

Its not necessarily a main/support division. Most of the time both players are equally strong, they gift each other troops, they plan moves..etc. When 2 are left, it is up to them if they want to fight it until the end or just decide to alternate who gets gold and who gets silver.

Ill start to make a list with all the names of the interested people and see what we can come up with !

Thanks for the interest !

What if it was 2v2 with no mines? Once your team is eliminated you are out. Plain and simple. Then there is no need to mess with neptunium/medal averages, and it encourages both players to play aggressively.

Also—I hate mines. With mines in a 2v2 it encourages early mining so the other can get funding. The game is more fun when there is combat. Mines are a turtler's best friend.

I'd like to do this too please.

I think that fits way better too. Neptunium makes it too complicated.
The only downside is that the games could last for an indefinite amount of time...

Edit: perhaps a 2 week limit? After which, the team with the most outposts wins?

these are all good ideas ! let's get thew whole group together and see what the majority thinks !

Great call, road. Two weeks is perfect. It'd be rad to join a tournament without mines, and just see everyone focussing on gaining territory.

Teams as they start to come in:

Team 1: Thunder + alexcata
Team 2: FlorinTheBaron + TheBigBob
Team 3: pmoney + dane69
Team 4: TheButlerDidIt + roadkiehl
