My vote my not matter, but I suppose I would vote in my best interest for weighted in S2.

If the vote is to establish S2 and beyond, I would lean toward random.

lets just vote on it every season then and people can vote what best benefits them in the moment

I think random keeps it more in the spirit of the league going forward, I know no one did it this season, but anything that can encourage tanking should be prevented as much as possible imo.

I'm cool if ya'll decide to do a weighted lottery though, it does seem more fair to not want the returning champ to get a Wilt or LeBron due to pure randomness.

I’d be more concerned about a top owner getting a high pick if there was any correlation between high picks and wins, but there isn’t. I just want a shot at a high pick because building around those guys looks fun and I’ve never gotten a chance to get anyone better than MJ in a draft league.

I think the proposal I made where your odds correlate to your losses as a percentage of the total losses is a nice middle ground where the best odds and worst odds are only ~2x apart.

right now the vote is random vs weighted... if weighted wins, then we can resolve how to weight.

I think someone who is found to be tanking should not be invited back the next season.... in any prog.
and they should be banned from the hall of fame, and have to register as a sim offender

This is where I am - I am inclined to support random, but don't have a serious objection to weighted lottery.

It was a close vote(13-10), but random draft order wins.

I sitemailed our lottery expert dbkc, and he will be posting the results.

The draft will NOT start when the draft order is posted. However, you can trade draft spots as soon as the order is released.

Kinoa is still undecided if he will be able to join us for season 2. If he can't do it, cmcafeeky will take over his spot in the draft order.

The draft will officially start when the season 1 champion is crowned.

Okay the lotto room number will be 9719 https://defuse.ca/trustedthirdparty.htm?drawingnum=9719

This number (9719) can only be randomized once and this is how you can verify that I didn’t hit random until getting a result I liked and then post those results. Also, the website won’t let me hit randomize for at least 24 hours from now (if you click the link between now and 1:43pm EST tomorrow then you’ll see that it hasn’t been run yet). This is how you can verify that I posted the lotto number BEFORE getting the results. Two other verification methods: this post will never be edited, and after I run the results you can compare the time stamp of the lotto being run and the time this post was made.

I will make it pop out 300 numbers from the range of 1-24 and then I’ll manually discard all duplicates. The numbers will correspond as follows:

1. dh555
2. bds9992
3. benhoidal
4. jhsukow
5. ashamael
6. ysw128
7. dbkc
8. mikee1
9. robusk
10. mptrey
11. 24kyprite
12. pexetera
13. jcred5
14. 20ks
15. seapilots
16. tarheel1991
17. gerryred
18. samuelyork93
19. dskantor
20. goetz93
21. kinoa1
22. amerk1180
23. albiband0
24. jpevans31

The order of the numbers from the randomizer will be the draft order in ascending order (the first number on the list will have the first pick)

can we trade lottery numbers?


kidding

why 300? That seems weird. That's 12.5 balls per number. Seems like that should be a whole number...

Because last time it took almost 200 random numbers before I got the last number in the sequence, so I added an extra 100 for breathing room just so I can be absolutely positive all 24 will be in the sequence. We probably won’t use any data beyond the ~200th pull, it’s just to be safe.

Alright fine just to bring it full circle I’ll do 360 (ha)

ah, I was thinking that it was randomizing 300 things. I just misunderstood what it was doing.
