not a SEIV Olympics thread anymore

Another option, if you can't get enough players for the other national teams would be to have a format similer to the Ryder cup in Golf. Two teams, Americans vs the rest of the world. Yes the Ryder cup is America vs Europe, but you can tweak that.

Expand the teams to 12 or 14 players each. Again each player plays two games. One is a 2v2 team game, and the other is a 1v1 solo match.

Count me in for Team Canada

If you're looking for suggestions on game settings I'd strongly recomend no tech trading. Tech trading would mean that some highly competative team with players with too much time on their hands could plan all their research in intricate detail knowing they could trade for other things. I prefer a slightly more laid back game.

You can count that one? That's like New York calling Long Island a Dependancy.
