If you start a MP game with 3 other complete strangers, what are the chances that all 3 will be able to get back together later and continue playing? To me, a game actually finishing would be very rare. Is it?

The general rule is, the more players involved, the more difficult it is to finish a game. This goes double if they are complete strangers.

But it could still happen. ;ŹD

With 3 complete strangers you say?
If it happens let me know so I can write it down.
MAYBE, if it's something planned to happen.

we have enough trouble planning a game to finish with 3 people that live in the same house

How do you expect to have a game with 3 people in different time zones and stuff?? :P Not likely!

Depends on how do you arrange the game. If it's done good (say, through Apolyton boards ), then the chances are high.
