Talk:Substitute System

Problems

We need to come up with an elegant way of handling the swapping in & out of substitutes. It has been suggested that one designated person on a team should have control of whether a person should be swapped out, and a substitute brought in, but this causes a problem in itself.

• How would one designate this person? (queue? priority assigned? What happens if a soldier lags out and a medic is the #1 priority sub? Problem!)
• What happens if this person lags out and requires replaced?!

Also:

• How do we keep track of what the team sizes (excluding subs) ought to be? Is this necessary for it to work?
• How do we know that the substitute being brought in is actually at the computer? (Ask all subs to indicate their presence by pressing a key?)
