Should a squad consist of more than 1 person
« on: September 05, 2007, 02:05:06 PM »
I noticed there's quite a few squads that aren't squads at all. It seems a squad should consist of at least 3 members although I can understand 2 being a minimum because 2 guys could easily become 3 or 4 if they wanted. Two guy squads should be required to become at least 3 guy squads over a certain period of time to maintain a squad status. That Idea might not stick BUT........

ONE GUY IS NOT A SQUAD and all one guy squads should be taken off the roster IMO.

What do you think

A one man squad is no big deal in my opinion. I would like to see inactive squads removed.

Sometimes it feels like my squad consists of only one person :noid

Actually, I think we have about 3 who fly somewhat regularly, but at different times...  

ARLO! I've heard so much about you, COME BACK! :)

What diffrence does it really make and why does it really bug you?

I'd be willing to bet, half of them just have a fake squad just so people don't keep bugging them about joining squads.

Exactly. There is no .showjoin command for squad invites. When I have no fantasy squad , I get several invite popups per day I can't get rid of.

I am a one man squad and that is the reason.

Probably because the 1-3 person squads are ranked in the top 5 all the time and he upset about it.

Those of us who asked ... I think already figured that out. We just wanted him to really spill his guts as to the "why" ... cause then we could really rake him over the coals ...  :D
