Policy Discussion: Newbie Games

I'd say have as many IC's as the queue can reasonably take. Ideally I'd say 3 IC's, dropping to a minimum of 2 in some games if the queue is really backing up.

I think more IC's increases the learning experience for new players and is a good thing. One problem with 5-2 is that if both IC's are scum the town is very likely to lose, and any advice given by IC's is likely to be motivated by the role the IC has. At least with 3 ICs, you have guaranteed 1 IC pro town player.

I have to say the 7-0 idea kind of makes me shudder

I agree with IH here. 7-0 sounds like a nightmare. Newbies will learn very little, and the lynches will be quite randomish. I'd forcast an even higher scum win %. I would strongly object to seeing a significant portion of newbies becoming 7-0.

IC can play in any number of newbie games can't they?
