there are different ways of working on a team, and many different definitions of what a team is.
when you can clarify those two items to everyone's satisfaction, we can continue this discussion. perhaps in a different thread?
(Aside: no one was ever arguing for one-man teams. this was simply another way of starting a realm, where one person purchases the region and then others join him, rather than all swearing to the region's duke and then breaking away.
this whole one-man team thing was a complete strawman. Indirik said he thought it would be boring. I think that's nonsense, that you would still have loads of interaction with others in the game. In either case, a one-man realm - which has happened in the past on Atamara, and perhaps elsewhere - rarely lasts long enough or is important enough to add special restrictions just to avoid.)
