What type of group will you have? It is completely up to you.

Tag Team:

A two player team usually means that these two authors are highly capable of doing more things with less players.  It could also be an advantage when creating since you do not depend on many players. These two members typically have great and dynamic communication between them.

Triple Threat:

Having three members on a team helps when decisions are being taken. This is due to the fact that there will never be a tie in the votes. This team is specifically effective when one is unable to create something another one can lend a hand, while at the same time, the third member continues his/her work undisturbed. This amount of players (3) is still pretty manageable and are able to create great things.

Fatal Four:

Talking about numbers, this team is packed to its full capacity. With the maximum allowed number of members, this team is sure to pack a punch. Skills tend to be vast and varied among them. There is usually a designated team captain; which directs others into generating in what could be an epic level.  At the same time though, the level would mean nothing if it were not for the creative skills of the team mates. Whether it be visuals and sounds to mechanics and gameplay. Having this amount of  members could be a disadvantage since they tend to be hard to manage. It all depends on group communication.
