Of course I have. And I know that some of the most expert players hang out there. Im thinking some might feel that a higher level game would be available to them if they play the "Sauron" to the entire massed armies of "Middle Earth", so to speak. One expert vs all comers?

Or better yet maybe the entire IRC channel could share the planning and strategy in-channel as a channel project. Anything that might make an alliance of players more than just an option. Make it a necessity.

It was just a suggestion.
