Personally, I think we should reserve the idea of four teams - which is a good one, I think - for later, for a second turn (if we the game proves to be as interesting as it seems). For now, when we are in the "testing phase", I think we should stay with the two teams of four. And I more or less agree with the teams as Lommy posted them (the second version). I could say the team B (oh, that's just technical marking - nothing to do with rating

) gives quite a "werewolfy feeling" to me, our team - team A, of course - (but as I said, just technical...) is more, well, what word to use, hmm, (I seek a word to mark it in opposite to a team that gives "feeling"... oh, yes, here it is) "academic". Yeah, that's a good word.

Just a note to the rules, TM, to make it clear: so the team is able to post just ONE answer; no changes, no retractions (ahh... WW terminology

)?

And secondly, the time is not important at all (as far as we make it in time) to determine our final rating (unless we are playing the "sudden death")? In other words, it does not matter whether we post the answer one hour after we received the question or one hour before the time expires; just what matters is whether it's important or not?
