I've been putting this off, because I know that the chance of it passing
is probably pretty little (I'm sure Steve will find some stupid reason
to bitch about it), but here it goes.

Since INL games frequently require a lot of messaging, and a lot  of direction,
and At large teams, and even non CMU teams are at distinct disadvantage,  (CMU
people have fellow players watching their important matches and coaching)
I suggested a while back that we add a ninth slot to each team to be filled
by a noncombatant.  He/she would have a fast messaging facility, and would
be able to quickly switch between the tacticals of different players on his
team.  He would not be able to see anything that someone on his team couldn't
see (of course).

I feel that this would allow much better organization during INL games which
would result in greater enjoyment for all.  I'm welcome to any criticism on
this, though:  If you just say it's a stupid idea or you don't want
to see it, I'll probably call you an asshole.  I call it like I see it.

Seconded, or something. I put forth a similar idea a while ago,
but never formalized it.

	Yes.  This (coaches/battle captains) would be a nice thing to have... 
both INL and on a server.

I like this idea!
Putting it in pickup games would be cool too- but it should be an option,
not something necessary!

 I like the idea of coaches VERY MUCH.  I would like to see it on INL
tourney servers and on regular servers two. I think it would also help
in getting an alternate to show up for INL games, since the extra person
would have something to do rather than just hang around or go home.
