Hmmm…
Would it be possible to have a UK vs. USA 1650 game? Or for that matter Canada vs. Germany or whatever country vs. whatever country game?
If I remember correctly, this used to be done way back when DGI ran things, but I guess it fell out of vogue.
Could this be done again, or am I just a delusional nationalistic agitator?
Anybody interested?

Check out the MEGames website. I don’t know anything about DGI (? DGI??) but Harlequin’s been doing it for years also.
Tried to create a Team Canada a couple years ago, but it fell through due to lack of interest. Still looking for the committed bodies…

Well…Game 77 (1650 Team) is currently a Canadian Dark team hehe.
Don’t know what team makup we are facing though.
Team 77 FP make-up is:
7 greeks and 1 greekette
3 english
1 scot
This is the fourth game we play as a team however (with some slight changes from game to game). Will it also be our fourth victory? 
Ooh…out come the taunts 
The Darks are 6 Canadians.
So…6 vs 12 eh?
Guess makes co-ordination different.
So…where are the results of our last turn? You waiting as axiously as we are?
Hrm…guess we should take this to our game thread haha.
So…back to the thread.
Game 77 is Canada vs UK
Sorry, I misplaced my brain. I meant GSI. I don’t know where I came up with DGI from, I’m as puzzled as you are!
Anyhoo, Greek vs. Canadians. Interesting. Anyone else want to defend their nation’s honor via a 1650 grudge game?
Hey Leonidas
We have a pure Danish Grudge Team, and are currently playing a FP team mostly of Americans.
Think the next game after that one will be against a Danish team also, but we might be able to figure out something.
Send me an email if you are interrested? (bovsan-nixbixspam@vikings.dk (Just remove the “-nixbixspam” from the mail)).
DGI was Deft Gaming. Remember the transitional phase between GSI & Harlequin?
My first game featured eight Canadians on the FP side (5 from Winnipeg & 3 from Toronto). We were crushed miserably after 55 (three week) turns. Have since tried to get a full Canadian team going without success.
I knew I wasn’t making up DGI, I just couldn’t remember for sure. I stopped playing right as they took over, just started back again.
Anyway, I didn’t realize there was so many "national " teams already. Is there any way to set up some kind of tournament to see who’s the best? You know, friendly bragging rights.
How about it, Clint?
If you guys would play a grudge match in 2950, I’d be happy to jump on… 1650 is too static for my tastes… kinda like chess. Good game, but only so many opening moves, then you’re stuck. Just my (twisted) opinion…

Looks like we can probalbly have another trial at putting a Canadian team together What do you say guys? Player, Assiniboine and all others
Count me in but don’t be surprize if I try to separate 
I am from Quebec after all

The Aussies have just defeated the USA (game 31, USA surrender T#27) and are as yet undefeated. We will be up for a challenge after a short hiatus.

It’s already happening. It’s called the World Championships. I have teams from Brazil, Uk (2), USA (2), Spain (2), Germany and we had a Scananavian. Not to forget the Aussie team (undefeated!) (Have I missed any?)
The new PRS (Player Rating System) will show the results and there’ll be a regional part of the Grudge team to see who is the best that way I think. We’re likely to do a Ladder system as well.

Can we have a Florida only team? As we Floridians aren’t really a part of anyone, we’re above them all.
Scott from FLORIDA
Sounds groovy. When will these regional tournaments start, and how are teams formed? Random or Grudge?
USA good, non-USA BAAAD!!! Jingoism, rah, rah, rah!!!(except for all my current non-American allies, you guys kick ass!)
It’s twelve aside pre-alligned. Rhu and Harad are DS and the Duns and Cors are Freeps, game on from the first turn. Good coordination and comunication is a must. It is a lot more cut-throat than a standard game.

Back in the GSI days, state teams were common. I recall a Virginia versus Louisiana grudge game. The general availability of email seems to have diluted the state team concept.
