wait, no GM anymore? I tanke it that I'm on the waitig list then.

you wanted to be GM or player?
you are currently in "players", are you sure you want to GM?

I'd try GM.
 
but uh, good luck getting so many players.

Or it could just be a MacGuffin hunt, with teams stealing from each other constantly.

I would think of it as a bunch of gods that hate eachother, but can't really fight eachother without the aid of mortals.

this. basically the goal is to have their players win in the arena, but if they lose their universe (world) is up for taking by the other teams. it will be difficult though.

that would kinda be it.

If the goal of each GM is to "destroy" the other GMs, there are two possibilities for how it can work. First, the GMs are physical entities in the game and the goal is to kill them. If we go this route, we will need more rules governing what the teams have to do to reach the GM in the first place. The second way we can do this is to make the object of the game to kill the opposing team. If we do this, however, we will slowly run out of players as the game goes on.

They would have to defeat the team in the arena and then go to their universe. GMs would basically be big, stationary places that can be damaged. They define this when the game starts. It's not required to kill the other team, but this would probably be the best course (or they will come after you  )

And then there's the idea of GMing for the GMs. How is that going to work?

we roll for them when they themselves take any action, and for team modifiers (temporary) in the arena.

[Nirur Torir]

Perhaps the GMs can start with (and possibly earn, somehow?) points for defining their portion of the arena. Perhaps I'd do a maze that will take three to six turns to get through, while Darvi will build rocket turrets everywhere, and someone else will just buy a pair of guards and keep the points (Assisting their players who are in the arena?)

How would reviving and/or healing players work? If I have complete control over my planet, I see no reason not to create a cyborg/med-station for my players, as well as personal teleporters to said station. If Darvi's players are all robots, it'd just make sense for him to just reupload their personalities to another body and send them back in.

[TolyK]

that's why the master GMs will balance the arenas out.

you will get to set up both your portion of the arena and your world. teleporting and insta-kill weapons are a no=no. nukes will be ineffective

So the path is:
World--->Arena--->Enemy GM

If it works this way, the players will never come in contact with each other. I don't think there should be discrete sections of the arena belonging to each GM, but one central area. Each GM contributes their own features to it at the beginning of the game, and the master GMs meld all the themes together.

Also, there should be a purpose to the "worlds" created by the GMs outside of the central arena. Isolating the teams from each other for most of the game defeats the purpose of making it competitive at all.

[Dermonster]

Well, each realm is in theory it's own RTD, so, maybe an overarching plot to each GM's native 'world'?

that's what I was thinking. except that the main focus will be the arena.

Actually most of the play should happen at the arena.

That is mostly to get them to the arena, they need to somehow get to the arena and then their world is only in case the whole team loses. Also it's a base of operations of sorts.
