Freelot Compression

[sahearniitth]

We never actually made a final call on the freelot compression to 60+ and 59- and had only said we were considering it.

However in light of DR's statments in this thread,
rustybuckets.proboards38.com/index.cgi?board=dynamis&action=display&thread=1147233882&page=8
we need to decide how to handle it asap.

Should we make an administrative call on it or just go ahead and do a poll. Personally I prefer polls since that leaves no space for the membership to whine about us forcing somthing on them but I am open to either based on SH comments.

I would make an administrative call on this.

With the addition of the new relot and open lot tiers we HAVE to compress freelot. Freelot going 70+, 60+, 50+, etc was already pretty long during a run.

I think 60+ and everything else (2-tier freelot) makes sense and we should go with it.

We've actually been using the 2-tier freelot system for the last couple of runs. No issues or complaints have come up about it so far. I think people are pretty satisfied in general once and item gets passed openlot.

[Cleophie]

Agreed with Bera.

People only bitch if its against their own self interest. Anyway since we have open lot bidding now freelot is generally a waste of time and space to even do something about. I say just do an administrative call and screw polling the always got something to whine about membership.
