Well what I was getting at was the fact that with only one water start, whoever ends up there just gets to sit and build up without being harrassed, until they just burst onto the scene where everyone else has been beating each other bloody. Its just imbalanced for them not to have any water competition.

On a different note, what about a regular free for all team game, but try to have each team consist of a vet plus a newb. It would be like having a mentor. The small teams would make the diplomacy less unwieldly and open to misunderstandings, while people would still have the benefit of playing at least against some vets.

Go ahead and just ignore me if you want, I'm just throwing off ideas here.
