I'm pretty sure the consensus would be that uppercase beta is equivalent to the English "B", putting you in Team A.
A good rule would just be to divide yourself based on whichever half of {some alphabet} you belong to.

And go ahead and play a turn: I'll play as Team B, if you'd like.

What about starting a new game?

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = B3/S23
o$obo2$b2o$2ob2o!
My turn:

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 5, rule = B3/S23
2o$bobo2$2b2o$b2ob2o!
Advanced 1g:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 5, rule = B3/S23
3o$3o$3bo$b4o$b2obo!

Wow. This is alive again.
Did I mention in the rules that the cell added by the attackers has to cause at least one additional birth or death in the next generation?
EDIT: Thus, the addition on the left is illegal, but the addition on the right is allowed:

Code: Select all

x = 12, y = 3, rule = LifeHistory
C8.C2$2.3A4.3A!
EDIT: Also, Ben, that's incorrect: the pattern to change is this one:

Code: Select all

x = 5, y = 6, rule = LifeHistory
.A$A.A$A.A$A$.A2.A$.A2.A!
So...

Code: Select all

x = 6, y = 6, rule = LifeHistory
2.A$.A.A$.A.A$CA$2.A2.A$2.A2.A!
Advanced 1:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 5, rule = LifeHistory
2.A$.A.A$.A$2A$2.A!

Attackers already win because Defender can't save it by removing cells.

Nope, because attackers made an illegal move:

Attackers are supposed to add cells, not remove them.

And he defended on the unadvanced pattern, to boot.

Sorry, I probably got confused because the word 'attacker' had a negative connotation compared to 'defender' and that 'remove' had a more negative connotation than 'add'.

Okay, so here is a legal move:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 5, rule = LifeHistory
2.A$.A.A$.AC$2A$2.A!
Advanced 1 gen:

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 5, rule = LifeHistory

That would be legal had it been your turn, which it isn't.

Now that everything's (hopefully) sorted out, defense:

That would be legal had it been your turn, which it isn't.
How would I know messing up would forfeit your turn? You didn't say in the rules. (Hopefully I don't sound rude, I probably do but I hope I don't.)

It isn’t your turn because you are attacking that which has been attacked already without a defense in between.

I would say that choice has a lot of opportunity for counterplay.
