So as the standby player who came in on T4, I thought I'd offer a few thoughts.
1) Things are quite challenging for the "evils" given the relative unavailability of my team partner due to lots of other commitments. That said, between coming in as a standby, lacking significant coordination ability with my teammate, and having zero expectations of a win, the result has been strangely liberating, and I've been having a better time than I was initially.
2) I think setting personal goals for myself in this game is helping on that note, rather than having the goal of winning. For example, my goal with the BL is to have fun with lots and lots of WY brigades.
My goal with the WI is centering around Wizard power. My goal with the GN is taking Runnimede.
3) Regarding that last, I came into the game with AN having denigrated and succeeded three times against GN in Runnimede the turn before I started, so I basically started T4 as Hostile in Runnimede. Since then, it's been a really fun ride, doing whatever I can to keep the region out of the hands of AN (there are some slightly weird starting positions in the Team game), and striving for the region myself.
4) Another personal goal for the GN is to capture as many AN emissaries as possible. So far, that goal is being accomplished mightily.
5) Anyway, my compliments to the "goods" for doing such a coordinated job in working together this game! I'm sure you'll end up taking this, but I'll fight you as long as you want. And if you end up preferring to drop this game to free up service level space, I'm totally amenable to that as well, I just really want to help you guys out however I can in taking on this standby position.
