Results:I conducted the lottery using random.org's list randomizer, using the pre-generated randomization from today, 7-September. The winner is CatInASuit! Congratulations! Your game must be ready to start immediately after Pleonast's. If for some reason you cannot host when the time comes, your spot will go to the runner-up: julie.
Conspiracy 3 has started, so we need to choose the host for the game to start immediately after. If you would like to host a game, please plan to have it ready in 6-8 weeks, to start immediately after the current game ends. Lottery rules:- I will conduct the drawing using random.org and will post the results and the random seed that I used so that you all know it's not fixed.
- You get one chance to win for each time you've submitted your name to a lottery since the last time you hosted. For example, if you have entered two lotteries since the last time you hosted, your current entry will be worth three chances. This way, people who are waiting longer to host have a better chance of winning. People who have more than one chance: bufftabby (3), storyteller (2), pedescribe (2), paulwhoisaghost (2), MiteyMouse (2), and julie (2).
- You cannot enter another lottery after you have hosted until at least three games have passed. This excludes NAF1138, Kat!, and Pleonast from entering.
Please feel free to ask me any questions about the drawing, comment, or bitch and moan in this thread. Entrants: Name | Chances | bufftabby | 3 | julie | 2 | Høøpy Frøød | 1 | pedescribe | 2 | MiteyMouse | 2 | storyteller | 2 | Sister Coyote | 1 | Catinasuit | 1 |

Wait, what? I had to actually submit my name at some point besides when I put my name on the list to host over a year ago? But I didn't, so I'm back down to only one chance? This is too confusing. Forget it.

Look, we have to draw the line to switch over at some point. We decided to switch after Kid's game, and he voluntarily gave up his spot, so we did it for Pleonast's game. You were next on the list so you do get an extra chance, which I forgot. But from now on each game's host will be decided by a lottery, not by a list. It's not complicated...if you want to host the next game, put your name in the lottery.

Right, I understand all that, I just didn't understand where my extra chance went. I also didn't know I had to actually do anything to stay in the lottery. I figured I was in until I said I wanted out.

Hm, that's a good point. However, the main reason for the lottery is to prevent people from getting selected if they aren't "ready" anymore. For example, with KidV. If you're in until you say otherwise, you might get picked when you aren't able to host anymore for some reason.
I suppose I could send a PM to everyone that has entered a lottery but hasn't yet hosted, in case they don't see the announcement. At any rate, you're in now.

Can you put me, hoopy, rysto, and mhaye (collectively) into this lottery? We have a game based on the malazan book of the fallen that should be ready to go (finally, after talking about it for...a solid year at the end of next month) by then.
It's going to be both different and awesome.

Ditto what NAF said on all accounts. Use my name as the entry, since it was the game I put myself on the list for back in the day.

Ok. I'm just gonna put it down as Hoopy, since NAF can't host anyway. Hoopy can add anyone he wants as a co-mod when the game is run, but for lottery purposes he's the host.

I'd like to be in the lottery again. Someday, if I keep trying, I will somehow and somewhere host a game again.

Ohh, that should be fun. Out of curiosity, when are we thinking this game will run? I just realized I only have 2 and a half months before I should have a newborn in the house. It would probably be a bad idea to sign up for a game that is going to overlap with that period of my life.
