40 isnt all that bad... i mean, if they were to automatically include your soc (DISCLUDING them from the 40)... how many people meet 40 freiends in the first couple of months? not me, at the rate im going...
perhaps there should be varying calibres--like, the longer you play pe, the more friends on fl... i dont know, 40 more every 6 months? surely, that way the people who need the room the most are the ones who will have it... but i dont know how long it took all of you to fill your fl....
then again, to play devils advocate; shade is right in 1 aspect... even if you have a soc of 20, thats half your fl... and you most likely know all of them, so youd add all of them...
but what about the socs with 100 and more? you know darn well they have no idea who each other are... very few people need to have EVERY member on fl... the head of soc, the second highest rank, but probably nobody else needs to have EVERY member in those larger socs, that is, larger than 20 or so...
but thats a two-faced coin. if you allow more people on an fl for the higher ranks in socs, youd have all these noobs creating socs just for that reason...
quite a delimna.... what to do
