It is interesting to learn what the various opinions of a "team" are. That is all.

But I do take exception to the idea that most team games here are of the tiny, partnership, duo variety. How many such duo games are currently running with threads on Shrapnel?

RAFT, Heat vs. Cold, and the entire NvV and NaV series are examples of team games with teams of more than just 2 players each. I think 3 or 4 players is probably a good managable team size, but larger teams can work as well if the communication and effort is there. Depending upon the hosting interval, forums are good for larger teams, while chat makes sense for tiny teams with shorter hosting intervals.
