We should keep all teams separate. One team controlling two in-game civs gives an unfair advantage, and even if the team is able to keep the roles separated (which is very hard given human subjective nature) it brings a lot of suspicion etc to the other participants. If you need a sub, or someone to completely take over for you, then please ask someone outside the game. Even a spoiled lurker is better than one team controlling several civs.
As the Americans learned so painfully in Earth's final century, free flow of information is the only safeguard against tyranny. The once-chained people whose leaders at last lose their grip on information flow will soon burst with freedom and vitality, but the free nation gradually constricting its grip on public discourse has begun its rapid slide into despotism. Beware of he who would deny you access to information, for in his heart he dreams himself your master. - Commissioner Pravin Lal, "U.N. Declaration of Rights"
