@GrimDarkBits, I take it that you understand the brainstorming process, that a whole raft of ideas are presented initially no matter how ‘wacky’, which could include “toss a coin to win”. The committee then go through one or more rounds of voting to whittle the ideas down to an acceptable number and then spend ap to 12 weeks testing them. Fine.
Your question is whether the Baneblade ideas will end up in the rejected pile along with “toss a coin to win”. However you also raise another thought, perhaps to help the process in the future;
Mordotem, Is there some way that the wider community can help the committee to prioritise those proposals for testing through the use of a poll? This would help the community feel included, and might assist the committee in their comparison / prioritisation between different proposals (and “toss a coin to win” might just beat the Baneblade one, you never know
)
On a more serious note, GrimDarkBits is asking about how the quality of the process is to be managed and controlled. He suggests that many (or even all) of the ideas put forward might be invalid for some reason or another, or the AC and Sub-AC might be out-voted by ‘pressure-groups’ in the committee.
Mordoten, perhaps you could outline your thoughts on quality control within the process, (which I suspect may be largely based on trust and experience). A lot of the posts on this thread center around concerns over poor decisions and the need for assurance on how bad choices like “toss a coin to win” will never get through the process.
