I don't like this loophole, personally.
Exactly, but it's what has to be done. That's why I hate games like this. It's gonna be just like overdrive or whatever, where there are gonna be teams throwing matches or competing against each other. I can just see it, right around Saturday before lunch time, the last couple matches, one team wants to co-op but another on the alliance doesn't there could be some inter-alliance conflicts.
