Nevermind the fact that Burke isn't the GM at all, Treliving is and therefore PHO's draft record should be under consideration in any properly constructed argument about our drafting.

This thread went to crap and probably won't be salvaged. If people wanna debate Burke vs Feaster vs Treliving and express their paranoia about Burke being a puppet master maybe go ahead and start that up. This thread was about our emphasis on prospect development I thought.
GM's set the direction for scouts, resolve disagreements at minimum.
That's what Feaster probably did. Seems to be working better, we have seen a lot of interference in the past.
I believe the Burke vs Feaster argument construction is legitimate.
We don't have to agree, that's fair.
