Well, it would sorta mess up strategy, but no one said you had to do anything with those lands..
I think- it would definately turn games around..- If someone is losing in trying to get say.. N.A, but there is a deadbeat in Africa, then he may have a chance to try ...
I would recommend that you make this a little more organized.
Atleast a hand written Tournament chart.. AND, make them private games with differentpasses, you send those passwords to players individually for their corresponding games.
Sounds a little steep, but yes I think they should be penalized.. Maybe double what his teammates lose? (if its on team) or double what whoever loses the most loses.
