Subject: bidding

i think our first and foremost obligation to the people on this ladder is to get the bidding system ironed out asap.
my personal opinion is to get it back in the voting booth immediately and let the ladder know that it is there.
at best right now--that has to be our first issue to address.i also posted a thread in the general forum today--i am feeling like alot of work is needed to adjust what people do not like, etc.
i put a feeler out to see what the idea would be to go with scrapping everything..do a rank reset-leaving stats intact, and starting over with the ORIGINAL set of cases rules and then letting the committees go from there.
i almost think our job would be much easier there than having to go back and fix what doesn't work.the original rules are good guidelines to start from.
it would be much easier building than tearing down.
thats just a thought that i have--lets see what response it generates-and maybe a push to get it as one of the first items on the agenda for the voting booth if it meets with favoritism.
one attractive thing about this is that we could have the ladder community vote on everything on the rules-and there should be no concerns as to unfairness.
i agree with jay in the first meeting, we are going to have to make this a very quick process-the committees should post a goal as to when we can feasibly get this done.
otherwise, i feel we are going to lose alot of our great players-i am sensing dissension.
by starting over-we would be on the same ground as yahoo-no better and no worse.it would be up to us to guide this project to make it better.
what do you all think?
