S25 Expansion

[Thiath]

Just make it a prerequisite that you have to have GM or HO experience for one of the members, waste a lot less of peoples time if you know you're going to only hire people with those credentials anyway. Just a thought. Congrats again to the people who got selected, they were definitely deserving!

I actually have to agree with this wholeheartedly. Imagine putting in all the time, effort, and creativity into making an awesome expansion bid. You're putting yourself out there, you're working extra time to make it happen. Then you come here and find out you never even had a chance because you don't have experience despite it not being mentioned anywhere that there are prerequisites. It makes it feel like it doesn't matter what your bid is. They pick the GMs first, the actual bid second. Not saying this is what happened, but it is hard to not see it that way.

Don't get me wrong, I love both picks. I honestly do think these are two of the strongest applications there could have possibly been. Great GMs, great people. That doesn't make it more fair to the people who never really had a chance but weren't told that.
