I agree - also need to declare ally by a certain turn number.

My suggestions:
Communication-  Within team obviously unlimited.  External is public forum only and just every 3 turns.
HC- All ballots secret. If someone raises an open issue then someone post on the forum (even if it's outside normal days) and we all agree to not vote on it.
Allies- Only the 2 teammates can be allied and MUST be allied by a certain turn (Results 5?)
NAPs- NONE
Trades- Only between allies.  No trading between teams.

It’s a team game. Full communication within the team, 3rd or end is season forum communication. Teams can chose to ally within their team or not as they see fit. They should also be able to arrange trades as the team Captain sees fit. In the end there can be only one team. Let’s not tie hands with unnecessary nonsense that is impossible to enforce.

Communication outside the team needs to be by boards only though.

Most of those recommendations come directly from prior team games and never had an issue being enforced. Well, they didn't need to be because people honored them. But lets see how the others weigh in.

No out of team alliances, the three kingdoms of a team can do whatever they want in their team, but absolutely zero collaboration between any of the 4 teams. I like the banter on forum every 3 turns Guys seem to like it. And Ace/Calidor/ and I are good with which ever draft is selected.

I have made contact with my team.  What is being said for rules is fine with me.    As for draft, I have faith in Draugh if he wants to propose a draft.

Draugr, Relgar, and Ashgar
DuPont, Brekk, and Strylian
Ace, PT, and Calidor
Wookie, Painted Man, Valuthor

I needed to get the list. My mind was trying to catch up. That is all.

I'm okay with ransoming hostages, but in practice, that happens rarely enough that it's probably just best to ban that, too.

Let's just get a list before turn 1 runs. I'm fine with anything as long as they are clear. Maybe Draugr can post a list before we start.

I like that aspect of the game too.  In the case of an alliance game though, I think it would be even more rare.  The goal would be to crush the other teams so I can't imagine wanting to ransom hostages back.  

As I am learning more about the game, the politics, and the players, I am finding that I am pretty good with most game types.  I am in a completely silent game and that is quite different but fun in a different way.  I like the banter on the forums.  I think every turn diplomacy is fun as is every 3 turns.  I haven't experienced any of the hidden teams that people talk about much yet so I am not burned by those issues just yet but that may come in time.  

I like that this is a team game and everyone knows who is on who's team.

This will be a list to select the draft order. This is not the draft. To be fair I will wait to select my teams spot until I get home in about 5 hrs. First come first serve. Please only one post per team. No switchsroos.
After we get the 4 teams to select we will start drafting for draft position. It is possible and likely one team has three picks in a row. The draft wi be snake

A 1, 5, 12
B 2, 8, 10
C 3, 6, 11
D 4, 7, 9

I will try to look at the player rules and post a list. Basic from what I have read is only coms with teammates. Trash talk every 3 turns on forum. Council only vote yes on things that directly help your team.
