I actually think we should have simple friend tags.

This would allow assist without arguement to assist the first friend tagged that is in combat.

Put a top limit on friend tags, I think somewhere between 3 and 6 and have them be limited in, If Malik tags Amos as friend, If Amos moves out of sight, By stealth, magick or simply getting 4 rooms away then the tag needs to be renewed.

Simple fix, no real drawbacks and improved group dynamics.

The only other thing I can think of is that cloaks, aba's, and who's-ya-what's-its can be dyed or marked (for looks and code) so that when you type assist scrab (because your friend convinced you that scrab stitched cloaks would be "most fearful indeed") you start helping your friend out against the guy wearing the tattered cloak.

That'd work most of the time. But there's always that "murder death betrayal thing you have to deal with.

If you have Amos and Malik both tagged as friends, and all three of you are out together, and one of them attacks the other..what would assist (no arguement) do?

It would assist the first one you tagged of course.

So, either your PC wants Amos to win or, you really don't care...as long as one dies.

Also, I'd have no echo to the outside on tagging friend...you just never know!

You win Armageddon, congratulations!  Type 'credits', then store your character and make a new one

Yeah, and if that stinkin' elf decides to pick infiltrate your group by picking up a cloak from your friend who was just a liiittle too drunk at the bar last night, well, they'd never see it coming, no?  Even if your (fill in the blank here) PC goes to the bazaar, describes the cloak to an NPC seamstress (and pays them a little extra to be hush-hush about it), then that takes care of the problem, at least in my mind anyways.
