I wish you guys had gone with the list-lottery hybrid system. In fact, I'll go ahead and elaborate and give my full anti-establishment dissenting opinion. I don't think it's particularly fair to jump into this lottery system when some people have been waiting on the list for a long time. I hosted Apocalypse in May-July of '08. That was KidV's first game, I'm pretty sure. So he probably added himself to the list somewhere soon after that game? So he's been on the list for close to a year, and now has just a slightly better chance at being randomly picked than anyone else? If you're doing this, I think KidV should get like 5 slots, and buffy at least 3. I mean, I know I added myself back to the list a little bit after Apocalypse was over, and I was #8. And that's after a few "haven't-been-heres" showed up. So to make it completely random without any sort of transition period is kind of lame, in my opinion. In addition, I think allowing a person to re-enter the lottery after two games have gone by is also a bit short-sighted. I mean, look, we've already got 9 people entering this lottery. I know random is random, but if it goes Person A-Person B-Person C-Person A...that'll really suck for Persons D-I. Considering this is a "main hub" for mafia playing as that's it's main purpose, I wish we could have integrated the lists and lottery for a bit before jumping straight into full lottery. I feel kind of weird being anti-lottery system over here when I just got lotterized to host over on Giraffe, but over on Giraffe there were no previous list already set up, which is my biggest issue with over here. I mean, it's not that big a deal, but I wanted to give my two cents. Anyway, long story short, I'm not entering over here since I'm hosting on Giraffe right now.

Which reminds me, if anyone wants to take a look at the design and help us out with the finishing touches, it'd be appreciated. We probably want four mods on this thing anyway, due to the chaotic nature of it. If you want another set of eyes, I don't mind volunteering. Cool. Consider yourself in. I should get some more time this weekend to do a bit more. (Origins con kind of messed with my schedule a bit.) I'll get you the PM now.

Ok, change of plans. Due to a misunderstanding we skipped KidV who was already told he'd get to go next. So, we are going to postpone the lottery until his game starts, at which time we will select the mod for the game after KidV's.
We apologize for the inconvenience, but not really, since KidV was next on the list anyway.

Sounds like a good compromise.
KidV, what's your game going to be about, huh? HUH? (Gosh, I'm nibby.)

I've got an Underworld styled game in the box, but it's kinda plain. If I get my ass in gear and finish the Star Wars game I've been kicking around, I'll run that instead.

I think the old list should be taken into account. For example, (like has been decided) Kid goes next. Then, all those who were not previously on the list gets 1 ballot. The person on the bottom gets 2. The next one up gets 3, and so on. Then you go from there, getting another ballot every time you enter the lottery again.

This was my fault. I told KidV that he was able to have his game next, before I gave the go ahead for the lottery. Your classic example of forgetting what the fuck you're doing. I'm sorry.

You'd better be sorry. Do you see what you've done? Brother is fighting brother, families are being torn apart, little kids are starving today because you forgot what you were doing.
What's that? They aren't? Oh.
Nevermind, then.

Yeah, Idle, if I haven't beaten you with a tire iron by now, I'm not going to.

But what if Idle really wants to be beaten with a tire iron?

If that's the case, I'd say he's been getting what really wants since he first opened the doors here to our addicted asses. Edited for the bunny.
