What about those assistants eh?

weaver for prime min.

There's an assistant in my pocket, and I think it's starting to melt.

[Desperate]

8 sounds good.

[Rab]

I don't see the point of a limit. Squad caps can set their own limit. If some squads want more assistants than others it's their choice. Having more assistants does no harm.

[Richard Creager]

I agree with RR.

[Na$]

I dont see the benefit of 100 assistents, but thats up to the captain to decide.

8's good. But captains should be very conscious of who they pick.

[King Baba]

8 is plenty. It gives the Captains the ability to promote their distinguished players and reserve the spot for their "elite" members.

Being assistant to me is to be responsible for representing the squad in a positive manner in any games. Whether you get spawned, lagged, vulched, or just plain choked - assistants should be the ones ensuring the games start, and end, without someone developing a hernia.

Uh, so what I'm trying to say is being promoted to assistant, the players have the chance of becoming a more integral part of their roster and able to maintain the position with a combination of in-game performance, and in- and as well as out-game attitude towards and within your squad.

Many others may disagree with me, but I feel that all assistants should be a mirror image of what they want their squad to be like. More so than even the Captains, as the Captains should already have exhibited the qualities a squad Captain should - something which is a whole other topic.

All in all, yes. I'm done.

A good asscap imo is someone who is active, doesn't get into fights/whines and helps to maintain order by being a good mediator between squaddies. It is not a position just because your skilled, it also shouldn't give you authority over other squaddies in any major way. It is just a title bestowed to someone the leadership of the squad can trust not to make trouble and act semi-responsibly, also helps to have them active so they can get games for rest of squad. Good leadership is also usually another quality of asscap.

I would like to increase the limit by a little amount. From my small experience there are usually a third of the squaddies that can perform the job of asscap at least decently.

[Awesome]

there shouldn't be a fixed limit.
just let each squad have 1/4 of their members be ast.capts (and round up always if it isn't a whole number)

if a squad has 18 members, they should be allowed to have 5 ast.capts
if they have 28 members, let them have 7
etc

Good assistant doesn't accept/challenge games that he shouldn't, and doesn't put !add himself in a ship he shouldn't be playing.

Squads would be able to !signup random names, put them on their rosters and get extra assistants. Rosters would get messy.

Personally, I'd like it to be unlimited but we'll see how the votes go.

8 is nice number...
5 maybe too little :/ if you got a big roster (30+ etc etc..)
8 would be nice since you might not have an assist/cap on while other members want to TWD.
