1. Team members do not attack each other. You can share resources (gold/gems) and information freely. You should be coordinating military plans with the other members of your team so that there are no accidents with armies bumping and if things are going poorly you can ask for help.

2. The game will start when septimius has decided enough players have signed up. It's not quite clear when that will be at this point, the game has been filling up a bit slowly.

3. Most games last several months. Completing the last two noobs vs vets games took about 3 months combined, but they were both pretty short as far as most games go and neither got past turn 35. So if that happens again, the game will probably be between 1-2 months long, but if no clear winner is decided at that point it could take much longer.
