Literally the only thing confirmed at this point is that the new server will be teams, so continuing to talk about FFA is a waste of time. The server must include teams to attract enough players to keep it from turning into Red 2.0.
Also, under my proposed ruleset, the Evil team WILL BE TOTALLY FFA. If you want the freedom to attack anyone, it's very simple: roll Evil. If you think Nihilum will roll Evil, that means they'll have to deal with not only the Good and Neutral team coming after them, but potentially their own team as well. With serverwide advance shouts + small variance, they would also be forced to PvP for every spawn. If they can dominate the server by overcoming all that, then my hat will be off to them, because they would clearly have earned it.
And all this talk about exploiting teams to grief people is complete nonsense. Same-team training is illegal and should result in a suspension/ban if repeated. Running around with 6 wizards to KS people on your team doesn't even need to be illegal, because no one's going to do it. That's pure forum bullshitting. Plus, most of the people who want to grief will be rolling evil team for FFA anyway, so they would have no protection from hardcoded teams.
