Fun to debate this stuff with you! Seriously though the COB issue is one that I think should be brought up to Panhel and debated. You can rationalize all day long why the current COB works but in my opinion it is essentially giving the finger to all the people that posted honest and heartfelt comments about what they thought about recruitment. You can sneer at them and say, "Oh, they didn't know the right terms and didn't understand the process" and dismiss their thoughts and feelings and continue on with super secret COB. OR You can have a bit of structure to COB and NOT just invite just the 2 people that are friends of the 20 people in the house (honestly if I were one of the non-20 in the house I would be quite pissed!). I was surprised that you didn't bite on the issue of discussing snap bids. But now that I see that you are supporting a houses ability to do whatever it wants in COB it makes sense that snap bidding wouldn't have any appeal because it has structure, process and OVERSIGHT! I don't think this COB has anything to do with money or disruptions as it simply seems that the houses want to do what they want to do and hide that they didn't make quota. I agree these are private organization and by definition are exclusive. But as others have said perception matters. And right now the perception is poor of a number of houses and that isn't good for any of us sadly. Especially those houses amongst us that need to do larger COB. I appreciate (con't)
