Re: Disappointments

I wouldn't think a pinch hitter who turned in uninspired work is necessarily that selfish/malicious, unless your pinch hitter happened to be Silex. But I do think one of the very few downsides to how quickly pinch hits get snapped up for Yuletide is that some people might just get caught up in the rush, and will grab a pinch hit before really thinking through whether they can write for it or not.

This is why I wish they had another method other than throwing a batch out at random and doing first come first served. I don't know exactly how they would fix it.

I feel like an easy way to fix is to send a batch of pinch hits out, wait maybe 6-12 hours?, and then assign it to a random number between the people who requested them. Obviously for apoca and emergency pinch hits, those can still be first come first serve as usual.

They did try something similar one year and it was unmanageable.

cyrt Genuinely curious and not trying to be combative, but what went wrong there? Just too many e-mails to handle?
