I'm fairly certain that we'll reformat the rules when 4PC moves to /variants. I'll keep your suggestions in mind at that point. Thanks!

in my opinion, ffa should be getting as much points as possible. it should be getting more points than ooponents
As of now, there are two problems with the rules.
A.They are a bit long, so people don't read them
B. They do not adequately describe the teaming situation in FFA
Therefore, I propose the following, which would pop-up to show new players and be on the top of the rules menu.
What you need to know
FFA Teams
Object of the Game: Get the most points Checkmate one of the opposing team members
How? Checkmates worth 20 Team with the player across from you by using arrows
Queens 9
Rooks/Bishops 5
Knights 3
Pawns 1
Pawns Promote when? 8th rank; 11th
What happens when you checkmate someone? 20 points/pieces worth nothing; you win!
Teaming? A. you can choose to cooperate/help whomever you want (or nobody at all); cooperate with the player across from you
B. You can influence players in board to help you (don't take pieces/give them an opportunity to checkmate), but you cannot ask them to help you or tell them where to move; use arrows to provide suggestions
Then perhaps give examples of what is or is not legal, and then a link to more comprehensive rules.
Sorry about the formatting. Obviously some of the wording needs improved/simplified, and perhaps some of the things should be taken out. Any feedback is appreciated.
I believe this will be very helpful in regards to the rules, and I hope the admins will consider my proposal.
Thanks!
