A Game Idea - PBC Teams vs PBC Teams

I was curious,

Has anyone thought of putting together a game in which a group of players work together to decide what an empire does, and then as a team go head to head against other empires run by similar groups of players?

I know Play by Committee does it more for the role play against computer opponents, but would anyone be interested in a contest of teams against teams? I was thinking 5 empires, teams of at least 5 members each (with option for many many more members), with each person getting a vote on a course of action or providing counsel as to what to do. This way if someone has to go, or leave, that an empire always has someone continuing the strategies of the empire and they could recruit additional help to maintain the team count.

I think it would be interesting to set up a couple of secure forums, and even if someone doesn't have access to SEV, they can at least join in on helping make decisions for the team and so participate in the game, as play-by-play reports would be made available by the team leader for the team to respond to.

And it would be great if the Galactic News could be shared with anyone observing the progress of the game.

Anyone have suggestions for organizing this, or would be interested?

Might be interesting but sounds like it might get bogged down like real commitees governments Eye-wink

Groovy Baby Yeah!

If we could group like people together, for example, those who like certain techs, strats, etc. such infighting can be kept to a minimum. If everyone has a single vote, and 3 are required to pass any resolution, they can learn to govern themselves. Absent players would be a vote of "no" and after 1 week AWOL would be replaced.

I was thinking:

A 10 empire game on PBW could start out as just 2 PBC-controlled empires, and if other teams want to form, they could take over the computer-operated empires as the game progresses and interest develops.

If possible, it would be cool if spaceempires5.com could host a forum and private subforums for it, with the galactic news of battles and such made available in the SEV forum to generate further interest.

And it would be awesome if video of the space battles be made available to the public to download and watch.

Yep, this can be really fun:
An example, the Alpha Centauri Democracy Game
Sadly, I probably won't have the time to participate.
