Which is under the actual conditions at which the Assembly operates rather delusional, to say the least. Therefore we actually have no ground to base a cap-increase on a percentage model.
It's not a flawed-model — the idea behind switching to the model proposed is, in part, to increase the number of WA members. In fairness, I believe TNP were using this model when they were much lower ... in like the mid 400s? (Someone who's better informed could provide better info.)
There's the theory behind this and then there's the hard numbers. It's easier to get a force of 10 people together than it is a force of 100 and a force of 300. The fact that I've literally watched a nation raise to 170-plus endos in a matter of days says we need to a bit careful here.
For those who aren't in the CSS that last part isn't even some exaggeration. We had a nation no more than a couple weeks old get as many endorsements as some CSS members, which is pretty much the definition of a red flag for us.
