Recruitment Quota

**silversleek(GEN)** · 08-25-2015, 08:29 PM

Idea: each squad has to recruit at least x number of new people per month (low number, 1-3 is fine) or they can't play the following battlenights. If they catch up, then they can continue playing. This way, all of the clueless recruits aren't all shoved off into the same squad of other clueless recruits, and we can have a more consistent recruits to veteran player ratio to play with. As well as being a solution to god squads without having to break anyone up unfairly.

I really like this.

Instead of banning people from playing on battle night if they can't keep up on recruitment, it might make more sense to give squads some sort of advantage in game. (e.g. +10 kills/recruit in a conflict match).

I'm not strongly opposed to preventing people from playing if they aren't recruiting successfully, but I think this might have more support if we reached some sort of middle ground.

It's a good idea but I can't support it seeing as how I'm the only one recruiting for Equinox

don't wanna be tied down here by a quota

While an interesting idea, not everyone is a recruiter. This would lead to a sloppy look at FC as people scramble to try to recruit whoever they can just so their squad can play in a battle night. Also, some Squads do better with a specific amount of people in them, if their forced to expand it might be against what they want as a Squad.

Some sort of upper limit might be a good addition to the idea. If a squad has x players attending a battle night (maybe 12, 2 6v6 teams, 3 4v4 teams) they are exempt from the recruitment quota because that squad is already big enough.

It's just a rough idea right now, inspired from anarchy. it's open to change.

I like it, Because it is kind of fair that we can only recruit so much. Theoretically there's an upper limit to how many people we can recruit.

Sounds good to me (if I'm allowed to join this discussion). The only issue you then have is: can you handle all the new recruits you will get? I don't know how many squads you have, but this means that each squad needs to do one bootcamp each week. I mean if you are having troubles with organizing the bootcamps, won't it be better to solve that problem first?

I get that this idea is one for the future, so maybe then the bootcamp issues will already be solved. And if so, it's maybe be an idea of recruiting 1 member per squad each week. Have strict days set up for bootcamp, for example:

Looking for the new member: Monday through Wednesday
Setting up and do bootcamp: Thursday through Saturday
War: Sunday

Just an idea.
