That might be an interesting way to do it. I'd be interested in trying to figure a way to get the game to repeat to a nother screen. Almost requires an IRC channel to allow typed communication. Very hard to do. Separate clans might work as well, though one would be locked to someone else's turn speed (and vice versa)
Junta.... ahh... that takes me back to days of Student Riots, Peasant Revolts and Robbing the Treasury. Happy days indeed.
As I said earlier, we play as a group, not to win but as a clan ring. Sort of a multiple personality disorder Clan Wytr. Last night, we managed to win a war with the Beast Folk. For the moment, at least. I'm sure Ironhoof is going to show up and use us as hoof liniment.
Much fun. Much beer. Much giggles.
