Have one question to confirm - our country is the country we live in (where our IP address usually shows)
Many people like me live in one country (Japan) but are citizens of another (USA) I am happy to represent the country I live in though - Japan. Count me in as a team captain. As Captain - I contact the others in my country then?


Same question from me. I could put together a damn fine team for Greece but if it has to be my country I could probably find enough Irish players, although you haven't actually said how many are on a team. :-s

We're going with the country you live in now. Anything else and it'd just get way too crazy. The teams are going to be between 4 and 16 people ideally and the countries that have many more interested parties (such as Canada) will have a pre-competition to determine who will be making up the team. Any help you can provide in bringing more people to represent Greece would be much appreciated! :-)

Could be interested to represent Latvia, but I think there is not enough players (probably I'm alone here, but maybe I'm wrong).
i see that there are neighbor from Baltic states (LTU), so maybe could get together with Baltic states team if there are any other from Lithuania and/or Estonia.

is this a regular team game or are you simply indicating that we are a "team" and play individual game ?
I do not play team game - my dice are so bad that I drag the entire team down with me. I have tried a few times, and I may have won 1 team game, but lost 1 or 2 dozen.

Each country will have a team captain as we're implementing a bad dice clause (teams will post consistently bad rolls in chat with a possible rematch to be made upon review). The goal is to try and make this as fair as possible. Games will be tournament style so foes are not an issue and will be team vs team.


I don't think that is a really good idea to go on with this part. Playing a lot of games will average out bad dice, that should be enough. What you suggest won't work I think, everyone get bad dice at least one during a game.


Also, do you plan to make polymorphic game, team games, 1vs1 or multiplayers games ?

We know that the dice thing may be difficult, but we will sort out the logistics on that soon.

Team games were the original plan (trips and quads), but seeing as how much interest this is getting, other game settings could certainly be considered. Maybe each country ends up with 12 people representing it and each round all 12 people could be in a game. Maybe have 1 quads, 1 trips, 1 dubs and 1 poly or 1v1 game. That makes it more inclusive for people who shy away from the team aspect.

Hi!

Good idea!

I'm Argentinean living in France. I'm interested in participating representing Argentina.
If the living country has priority, ?m still interested in representing France.

All the best!

I think bringing together teams by nationality not residency is more sincere. What if someone is OS and moves home mid-tournament? That will create tragic heartbreak of CC proportions (that is, a virtual tragedy with no real effect other than in the minds of those who hold this achievement as somehow important in real life)
