@Drano It may be an idea to split it like that (Queen bs Non-Queen states) but I guess it depends on how many of each are here. At the moment, the US considerably outnumbers the Commonwealthers, so India and SA may be put on the Commonwealth side. I guess it depends how many of each we get.
Also, I was thinking we could do your second suggestion, except the honour system would only be restricted to not revealing who you are - you could try and bluff that you are on the other team. However, I'm not sure how well that would work...
I was thinking that we could do several variants, and when they finish each team gets 10
for a member who solo'd, 5
for a member who drew and 1 point for a member who survived. Think that would work?
