how does recruitment work?

you go to computers at the end of the day on day 2 and rank the 13 you'd like to visit the most for day 3 and then the 4 you'd least like to be invited back to. the computer does it thing and matches with how the chapters ranked all the PNM's. you might get houses back that you put in that bottom 4, its completely normal. max houses you can get back for day 3&4 is 13.

at the end of day 4, if you got all 13 back, you narrow it down to 6 or 7 (i forgot but its one of those)
if you got less back than 6 or 7 then you don't do any ranking.

end of day 5 you rank the top 3

end of day 6 you rank in order of the chapters you have left to your preference. if put down all of the houses you got back, you are guaranteed a bid. if you "suicide" a chapter or only put back 2/3 you are not guaranteed a bid.

hope this makes sense but your rho gamma will explain ALL of this so don't be worried.
