Myself and my Dad regularly play on the same side in games and as yet
have never played on Different sides in a game but if the situation arose
where as two neutrals we would not work together unless we ended up on the
same side.
We have played other PBM games before where we have ended up attacking
each other due to differing alignments or because it was just "a bit of
fun". You can be assured that we would play neutrals fairly if we played one
each.

If it was a non-pre-aligned-neutral game, you are more or less "on the
spot." Shouldn't be allowed (my brother and I played a GSI game as KE and
WW ... we actually did consider going separate ways, but didn't ... agree
it's not truly very likely ... so this sort of potential abuse should be
avoided if possible ... of course, if 2 people _really_ want to do this,
there's little Harly can do about it, but that's true of alot of "bad
things" ...).$.02

I know that 2 family positions in a single nation game has had a
little controversial discussion in the past, with a consensus, I
think, that unless the GM judges it is somehow being abused, it is
no big shakesOf course, this applies more naturally when the 'family' is playing 2
nations of the FP and the DS. To allow the most powerful neutral
nation positions to be played like this is, I suggest, a different
kettle of fish.Quite apart from the normal speculation that it is very easy for 1
family member to dominated by the other to one degree or another, it
stretches credulity to suggest that the 2 nations are truely neutral
& might declare in different directions

Coincendentally, I launched at Corsairs at the same time, and did
rather more damage than I received, - but no matter. I look back on
this now and think that it is rather a shame that Corsairs / Harad
was effectively before the game had started, 1 massive power blocI wholeheartedly disagree with pre allied neutrals, and think that
there should be a strong supposition that a 'family' would play as
pre allied, and I guess I am disappointed that Harlequin allowed this.What do others reckon?
