Hopefully the game would be short enough that all of the players would give a good effort regardless of who they were playing with.

Then again, if you're a leader and you draft someone who doesn't like you, maybe you deserve to run the risk of that person being inactive (or counterproductive).

The alliance leaders would definitely have to be the most liked and/or likable people in the game. They would also have to draft without going for comedy options that would backfire on them and ruin what could otherwise be a very interesting and competitive environemnt.

I agree, i would like this to happen as well, and posted on it again in general discussion. Hopefully i'm liked enough by some that I would like to lead in this if it ever happened as well.

well, judging from the enthusiasm shown here in the webboard, i think we will have lots of people wanting to play...

and no 5 man, i'd like to OP with the new roster, get to know people i usually don't play with...

I agree, that would also work perfectly well with the 25 cap limit for alliances. It would give new players a chance to show their skills (rather than having to compete against the big alliances from the standard games, they will be facing alliances equal to their own) and hence liven up the game.
But then again, how would the leaders be chosen? Spock doesn't have time to nominate the leaders himself and any other choices could be argued to be biased...

have an ingame vote with poeple being nominated (like for the WB mod position)
