The rule sounds cool if you're only going to have the one War, (Hey, let's fill this slot with the guy it's literally named after!) but not so much now that Fate's a whole franchise that needs a bunch of interesting Assassins.
I think the In-Universe justification is that they're the prime assassins, and thus the ideal ones to be put into the War.
The funny thing is there seems to be more of an in-universe rule for Sabers being from Camelot than for Assassins actually being from the Guild.

If you want to avoid the rule, explain it that Hassan is the Servant who generally fills the Assassin slot because the class container itself acts as a catalyst for Hassan. Then, give the summoner a catalyst to summon a different Servant and have the new catalyst trump the old one.

And for Sabers to look like Arturia.
"Sabers shall either be from Camelot or be hot blondes, but preferably both."

Except Siegfried.

He's not exactly ugly, and silver is basically blond.

So I'm still waiting on some input on this question
.
Also trying to think of a few more additions. Came up with two possible Riders, and one Assassin as well.
Man, this is fun, but it's really doesn't seem to be a Who shouldn't be summoned situation all that much.
I'd say some of these guys would be awesome to summon actually.
Edit: So I was doing a count up of the random classes that have appeared in the Franchise:
Avenger, Beast(still completely unknown), Monster(which technically isn't a Servant I know, but still) Funny Vamp / Temptress, Ruler, Saver, and Magical Girl (from the Nanoha crossover) and it hit me that there are seven of them, to the seven normal classes...
And we have Fate/Apocrypha introducing the alternate team based Grail war...
Hmm. I bet something could be done with this.

Yeah, I know what you mean. In hindsight, I'm kinda getting that feeling about Stan Lee-as-Caster and Yoda-as-Fourth-Saber.
Huh... Are they make a Fate CCC anime?
I think that is just concept art for the game itself.

Weren't I forbidden from looking at it, I'd give my opinion. Could anyone upload the relevant pic/s to another host?

It's concept art of Fate Extra Caster in her CCC garb.

I just realized that Kay never gave any comments on my previous posts.
Say something or be destroyed. My ego must be satisfied.
Also, considering either [[{{Transformers Optimus Prime]] or Jean Luc Picard for Rider, The Mighty Hercules for Saber, and possible [[Fate/Apocrypha Seramiris]] for Assassin summoned by Caster (whoo, bet that would get ugly really quickly).

There are others who haven't said anything either, so why Kay? :c
I've read the snippets, but since I don't know who those characters are I don't have much of an opinion.
If your happiness relies on Kay's input, it's time to reevaluate your life.
The same thing applies to input from any of us.
Seramiris for Assassin summoned by Caster
... excuse me, I need going to write a lemon.

kay be not into blatantly sexualized yuri, last I recall. It's all about heartwarming, waffy fluff.

I figured you'd like the Yuri implications.
You don't know anything about Morrigan?
Then again, I don't know much either, besides what I read on this wiki (she apparently doesn't have fangs).
And surely you must be aware of Aquaman's lifelong struggle against his Super Friends portrayal? How people are hell bent on seeing him as the loser who talks to fish?

I really hate that Assassin rule. It's greatly limiting, and I don't understand why Nasu came up with it since he just ignores it anyway.
I think we all hate it. Even Type-Moon themselves. But it's like the old, cranky, miser, awful grandfather we all hate but can't kick out of the family table because he's still family.
As for your question, I suspect that, like with most great mysteries of life, the answer includes the word 'liquor' somewhere.
