1. Are themeing things precluded entirely? i.e. giving everyone flavorful names but regular roles
2. What is this site even shooting for with the newbie games? Teaching? Fun? Even winning percentage? Or a mix of two or three?
I can't really answer 1 for sure, but for 2 I'd definitely argue fun and even winning percentage. What's the point of teaching a newbie how to play at MS if they're not going to want to play?
