Free for alls in strategy games are silly. The turtling player will always win the the early aggressor and early defender is always screwed... I hated this mode in Starcraft for exactly this reason. You don't benefit from ever attacking, but can only lose units and resources for doing so.

Forgive the grammar just on my phone

I played Galcon a long time ago, which was a simple little iOS RTS that had 4 player FFA by default. The games between 2 players are typically resolved in under a minute, but with a 3rd player they would constantly end up in staring contest stalemates only broken by the first person to get bored. Since a game of outwitters can already take weeks to resolve, we could easily be looking at thousand turn games that would probably last longer than OML wants to pay for servers.
