What does this suggestion change/add/remove:
This suggestion would have the team change the max slots in VJobs to 3 per each Assistant job on the servers.

Has something similar been suggested before? If so, why is your suggestion different?:
I'm pretty confident this has been suggested before, but context has changed and thus that's why I'd like to try making the suggestion again.

Possible Positives of the suggestion (At least 2):
Should eliminate 99% of all cases where Assistants are queuing just for a chance to get on their role
Makes it even easier for O5 to delegate tasks as there are more people available to work with
QoL as it reduces complaints on the subject substantially and gives people more access to the limited slot.


Possible Negatives of the suggestion:
Too easy to be on the role, according to some
Removes the 2:1 ratio of O5 to Assistant on the Server


Based on the Positives & Negatives, why should this suggestion be accepted:
Gonna be honest, with how the servers have developed, I think this is just common sense. As Site Command continues to move in a direction of focusing on overarching RP Leadership, which in turn means that OSAs also need to be available so that menial task delegation can be done in a more efficient way, having more potential slots is nothing but a boon for both branches.

The 2:1 ratio actually is irrelevant imo too - it's nothing to do with how many O5 or Ethics Members each Assistant can help, it's the volume of tasks. Issues on the Site tend to flare up all at once, and sometimes two Assistants isn't enough, and bottlenecking occurs. Having more Assistants eases the likeliness of that bottleneck, which DRASTICALLY eases some very fixable pressure on SC and lets them do their job better and spend their time on the Server more efficiently.

This is a small change but a massive, MASSIVE QoL in my opinion and I'd be greatly appreciative of any approval. The context that changed it is to do with how many Assistants I see that are on who play the slot for quite some time. Many Assistants are beginning to actively struggle to find room to flag on to the role and I want that to stop and not be a worry for them.

PLEASE.

Far too many occurrences before I became an Overseer where I'd log onto the server, check to see if OSA was full, see it was, only to realise "oh guess i cant play" and proceed to log off. Even now, currently we have 9 Overseer Assistants, and whilst that doesn't seem like too much, some of these people only have OSA as their whitelist, so for a good chunk of them, they have to shove each other on & off the job solely to play on the server.

Obviously I'm not sure as to the amount of Assistants that EC or on US both O5 & EC and whether this is a problem, but for UK O5, it's really becoming a noticeable issue.

Site Administration exist for this though? They should be your bottleneck/filter not the OSAs or ECAs, expanding the assistant slots is actually incredibly detrimental to the health of Site Administration as a whole. I do get why you want it Cade, I just don't think you are seeing the bigger picture here
