I've only played Grudge games thus far and am interested in testing
out an open game. But I'm curious about how the current player base
tends to approach Nation individuality.
In an open game (as opposed to a Grudge or team game) is it common
that the players of the aligned teams share their PDFs and XMLs or are
they by and large considered "private" and you simply share what
information suits you?
Yahoo groups (like this one) are created and all files are uploaded. Someone might even upload the Palantir map so every player doesn't "have" to run the program themselves. Information sheets, artifact listings, etc are common also. I've only run across 1 player who didn't want to upload their files in the last 5 years - he gave up the fight by turn 2 and is now the first to get them there.
While it might be an interesting throwback to "not" share files, the other team IS, such that *all else being equal*, _their_ intel will defeat yours. All the arguments *against* file sharing, while valid to the individual, are generally not supported as an acceptable mainstream MEPBM opinion.

I've played both grudge and pick-up games. It's
always more fun for me if everyone cooperates and
shares the pdf and xml files along with a turn report.
Additionally, participation in the planning and
strategies is better if everyone participates.
