From the fact that 75ers are getting offers, can we conclude that a good amount of people are getting passed over, and possibly three-struck? Certainly possible - however, in my case, I hold out hope because my cities, by and large aren't falling off the board - now some have - but many, many haven't. So, I'm thinking I either get one of my top spots, or I've been three struck. And I may not know for sure for weeks. Excruciating doesn't begin to describe it.

From the fact that 75ers are getting offers, can we conclude that a good amount of people are getting passed over, and possibly three-struck? Because I fail to see how anyone with a 75 could be Top Three for a location without lots of higher-scoring people getting passed over. Even for an unpopular city with multiple vacancies, there are going to be numerous candidates with above a 75. Not necessarily as it all revolves around one's GAL. I am sure there are many yet with higher scores not hired for open cities that SSA hasn't filled yet. It all depends upon the order of filling the vacancies that matter. I am sure you will see some higher scores achieve some positions yet. We had some 76s get positions today after 75s were hired yesterday. Agreed. Until we see the cert list for a certain city or someone with higher than a 75 indicates that they were not hired for Mt. Pleasant, not sure we can reach the conclusion that many folks have been three-struck.

I'm in the same boat as you. The 75s were yesterday with 76s and, I believe, a 77 today. Utlimately, I can discern no clear pattern about how this falls out but I'm not going to quit hoping until my cities drop.

Has anybody heard *anything* from the first Richmond vote? Is it a valid vote? We know the second one is due to be announced soon (per Funky), but Richmond #1 just appeared without any context or validating data.
Anybody? Feel free to PM me if you'd like to remain anonymous. Mama always said I was good at keeping secrets.
(Incidentally, Richmond is it for me on this cert.)

I have questions about the first Richmond as well Cheesy - I don't recall any confirmation. I pay attention because it is one of the few of my cities that have gotten hit.

what's with Richmond? Great city but i never would have picked it to be one of "the" ALJ cities. Cause it's close to DC?? that's my best guess..

Because I've spent the majority of the last 20 years in the Commonwealth, and it's a 2 mile run to the airfield and a 32-minute commute by air for me. As for everybody else, no idea. Good luck, MCH!

Very good intel (discussed in greater detail in city poll thread) indicates two hires to Cincy. Neither are board members.

i feel like we are on an NFL draft board.... :/ or y'all are to be accurate. im more like one of the yackity commentators who won't shut up. Isn't Mel (is it Kiper) one of the yappers? Guess I'm the Mel what's his name of ODAR hirings... So Cincy is down but still plenty of good spots in the midwest! Who's next? Will there be a trade for Atlanta(assuming Atlanta is on cert at all)? Sorry guys, trying to lighten it up some

Sorry guys, trying to lighten it up some I had the same analogy happening in my head... Draft Day...is that the movie recently where the coach or whatever passes over a first round pick for someone rated lower... manipulates the system.... lol.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I just received an email from Bob. It was an offer. I know that sounds strange but I called and accepted. He said they are trying to speed turnaround.
I will post details after I am fully revived.
