Someone mentioned Vote Chess which would seem to be a way to do this. Perhaps as a Zoom for talking about the moves? I keep checking (pun) into it and have yet to see any games there.
By the way, I'm around 850 so if you are below 1000, feel free to invite me as a friend, etoanrish . . I usually play 45/45 or 15/10 at the quickest. No speed chess for me. Lot of games against the bots.
I'm a paying member of Chess Boot Camp Live. Join the fun please.

I have played votechess in another club of local players on chess.com. It is fun, but they have so many rules to how players can vote.. try hards so I do not participate anymore.
They discuss all moves before anyone is allowed to cast a vote for a move, so it is more like "vote for the moves the best players in the club tell you to vote for..."
What if the friends are actually one person, but with multiple personalities?

Interesting....sounds like these "try hards" were breaking terms of service, unless it was unrated & the other person knew. I actually think even team vs. one unrated is unfair. This assumes the one cares about ELO. Not everyone does. They may just want a good game of chess vs. one person and they get group tackled.
I think its a violation but Ive seen Naroditsky vids where he coaches students during live games. Opponents get ratings back I believe
Im certain those streaming GMs will have some kind of contract with chess.com so they may allow it. It will not necessarily end up in the same way for a random unknown doing it ...

However, if a group plays, wouldn't they quickly reach their appropriate "hive mind" rating, which is no different to playing an individual of a similar strength??
Yep

That's how good vote chess clubs works. If you want to play the Botez gambit do it in your own games lol
Also it's false that only the best players have a say, though they suggest moves it's up to everyone else to decide for them.
There's nothing specifically in the Fair Play Policy saying that an account must belong to one individual player, although it is implied. Here are the relevant points..
I'm interested in playing chess with a group of players, and seeing how well we do out in the wild. But could this get the account banned, or even my main account??
it's not fair yes, but if you do it will chess.com know? They will not. I would choose not to do it.
