For the purpose of transparency and full disclosure, the following is a transcript of the draw which took place on TSW's IRC channel to decide the winners of the anniversary draw. All times given are in UTC +11/Australian Eastern Daylight Time (AEDT), whichever you prefer. (apologies for the somewhat questionable formatting, hexchat doesnt make the prettiest logs but its all there nevertheless) Feb 08 11:46:01 *	ChanServ gives channel operator status to LiR Feb 08 11:46:10 	Howdy Feb 08 11:46:32 	I hope you guys don't mind, but I'm going to temporarily appropriate the channel in order to conduct the game giveaway drawing Feb 08 11:46:55 	Mostly because I want the selection to be public, for purposes of transparency Feb 08 11:59:13 	... Feb 08 11:59:31 	hm Feb 08 12:01:54 	So, here's how this will work Feb 08 12:02:10 	1 - I am going to assign a random number to the 20 different users who placed comments on the game blog Feb 08 12:02:22 	oh wait... Feb 08 12:04:14 	do any of the bots here still have the die function? Feb 08 12:04:15 	!die Feb 08 12:04:21 	hmm Feb 08 12:04:30 	I guess I'll have to just use some random number generator Feb 08 12:04:53 	!dice Feb 08 12:04:53 	LiR: (dice d ) -- Rolls a die with number of sides times. For example, 2d6 will roll 2 six-sided dice; 10d10 will roll 10 ten-sided dice. Feb 08 12:04:57 	oh good Feb 08 12:05:13 	!dice 20 1 Feb 08 12:05:13 	LiR: Error: Dice must be of the form d Feb 08 12:05:18 	blah Feb 08 12:05:18 	nice work Feb 08 12:05:27 <LiR>	!dice 1d20 Feb 08 12:05:27 <Deus_ex_machina>	LiR: 17 Feb 08 12:05:31 <LiR>	good, this will work Feb 08 12:05:48 <LiR>	so I'll assign a number to each person then roll the die here in the channel and that will determine the winner Feb 08 12:05:54 	how are we doing this? rolling a number for each prize? Feb 08 12:05:59 <LiR>	yeah Feb 08 12:06:29 <LiR>	I figure we'll do five rolls. first roll is the winner, 2nd and 3rd place for the runners-up, and a 4th and 5th roll for "just-in-case" winners Feb 08 12:06:29 	may as well post the logs for this here somewhere just to prove how we did it as well Feb 08 12:06:33 <LiR>	yeah Feb 08 12:06:38 <LiR>	that's why I wanted to do it on a public channel Feb 08 12:06:53 <LiR>	I'm going to assign numbers to each person, hold on a moment Feb 08 12:07:01 	alright Feb 08 12:07:13 *	RandomRanaun has quit (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) Feb 08 12:07:58 *	Beds has quit (Quit: toodles) Feb 08 12:08:24 <LiR>	Emsie98xx	1 Feb 08 12:08:25 <LiR>	SimsPokemonFan	2 Feb 08 12:08:27 <LiR>	ChispiGon	3 Feb 08 12:08:28 <LiR>	Katamara5	4 Feb 08 12:08:30 <LiR>	JStone88	5 Feb 08 12:08:31 <LiR>	The Black Scorpion	6 Feb 08 12:08:33 <LiR>	Quietgirl	7 Feb 08 12:08:34 <LiR>	Thesimmer23499	8 Feb 08 12:08:36 <LiR>	TheDiamondSimmer	9 Feb 08 12:08:37 <LiR>	JesseAugust	10 Feb 08 12:08:39 <LiR>	EPICMINECRAFTER101	11 Feb 08 12:08:40 <LiR>	Le Error	12 Feb 08 12:08:42 <LiR>	Postcodez	13 Feb 08 12:08:43 <LiR>	StymieG101	14 Feb 08 12:08:45 <LiR>	DanPin	15 Feb 08 12:08:46 <LiR>	LWC1701	16 Feb 08 12:08:48 <LiR>	Rodrigo X	17 Feb 08 12:08:49 <LiR>	TimothySimmer	18 Feb 08 12:08:51 <LiR>	LegenDove	19 Feb 08 12:08:52 <LiR>	Simino97	20 Feb 08 12:08:54 <LiR>	sorry for the flood Feb 08 12:09:05 <LiR>	So the first roll will be for the "grand prize" winner. Feb 08 12:09:22 <LiR>	By the way, if any number is rolled more than once, we'll just re-roll until 5 unique names are chosen. Feb 08 12:09:33 <LiR>	!dice 1d20 Feb 08 12:09:33 <Deus_ex_machina>	LiR: 12 Feb 08 12:09:41 <LiR>	Le Error wins the first prize Feb 08 12:09:43 	actually Feb 08 12:09:49 <LiR>	actually what? Feb 08 12:09:55 	why don't we just remove the winners from the pool Feb 08 12:10:05 <LiR>	how do you mean? Feb 08 12:10:27 	the person that just won was number 12, so everyone after them would have 1 subtracted from the number Feb 08 12:10:42 	wait that might just needlessly complicate things Feb 08 12:10:51 <LiR>	Yeah, but then I'd have to re-allocate the numbers. because if I do 1d19, that means person #20 cannot win Feb 08 12:11:06 <LiR>	easier just to do a re-roll if 12 comes up again Feb 08 12:11:21 <LiR>	In any case, wogan you are logging correct? Feb 08 12:11:24 	i am Feb 08 12:11:28 <LiR>	good Feb 08 12:11:33 <LiR>	so we have our first winner Feb 08 12:11:43 <LiR>	would you like to roll? Feb 08 12:11:54 	alright Feb 08 12:11:56 	.
