And we have our name bank! 9 players entered 5 names each which gives us a total of 45 names. None of you know the names in the bank, except for the names you personally submitted. And you will only learn names as you select your number.

Using the random generator that Kraul provided, we will be selecting our names in the following order:

1. MakeYourself85
2. midget
3. WLFootastic48
4. Dr. Feelgood
5. Forever-Fate
6. Cybrus
7. Narcissistic Cannibal
8. Kraul
9. Old Pride

This is pretty straightforward. You pick your number in the above order. I'll PM your name. Since we all know the order and since we can all understand that a number can only be picked once, then I think we can just keep this thread going as everyone signs on. MakeYourself will pick, then when midget logs in he'll pick, then Whosey, and so on. There is no need for me to reply in between each pick. :)

Also, as demonstrated harassment works. If you see a participant online and it's his turn to draft a number, then feel free to PM him and tell him to get his butt in gear. :tu:

And, as I stated above, I don't think it's fair for me to pick my own name since I know the name bank. So I'll be asking Kraul to pick a number for me when it is my turn. :)

So, yeah, MakeYourself, please pick a number. 1-45.

Oh man, I hope this doesn't wind up taking another week to get through the names. :lol:

Really depends on how long it takes everyone to pick their names and how many times people decide to dip back into the name bank. Maybe if everyone keeps applying friendly pressure (nothing nasty, please), then things will go smoothly and quickly. :shrug:

No, name changes won't happen until everyone has their name. Everyone's name changes at the same time. :)

Kraul

We should pick his number for him. It has to be a small number because he's a midget.

But it can't be number one so we don't give him mixed messages and an ego.

We should pick the number two for him. It's the second smallest number available after one and it fits him because he's a turd for not posting back with a number immediately. :angry:

If Whosey's here, someone tell him to harass midget via BBM. I never added him, but I think Whosey did.

If he was hanging out with one of a few guys around this place, all they'd have to do to get his attention is tap his head. :naughty:

Maybe we should have all just posted our number picks at once instead of drawing this part out? :lol: First come, first serve with the numbers...

It's a miracle we got enough people interested in this as we did, let's not push it. :lol:

78 posts at that time? :-/

Well, the following are all your posts in this thread up until I started making this reply. It starts when you posted the official steps and goes from there:

Quote:
 
Here is how I see this working out:

1. Allow another day for possible sign ups

2. I'll PM everyone that signed up and ask them to reply back to that PM with their list of 5 names.

3. If some people fail to PM me back, I'll PM the ones that did participate and ask them to submit more names.

4. Once we get a healthy name bank, I'll use the randomizer you posted twice. The first time will be to randomize the name bank. The second time will be to randomize the list of participants.

5. Whomever gets listed in the number 1 spot will have the first chance to pick a number from the name bank. The second person listed gets second pick, and so on until everyone gets a pick.

6. Once everyone has picked their first random name, I will PM everyone their new name. Everyone will have the option to keep this name or draw again. If you opt to pick a second name, the first name is completely off the table and you cannot go back to it.

7. Everyone that opted to "draw again" will be put back in the randomizer so that a new picking order will be made. Everyone will pick their second names.

8. I will PM everyone their second names and give them one last chance to keep that name or pick again.

9. Anyone that wants a third dip in the name bank will be added to the randomizer, a new picking order will be created, people will pick their numbers.

10. Whatever name the person gets on the third attempt is their name. They cannot pick again and they cannot go back to a past name.

11. Once everyone has a name, I'll change everyone's name all at the same time.

12. I'll post the entire name bank (in it's randomized form) and give credit to the person that submitted each name. I will also say if someone declined each name and on which draft pick.


Seems like a lot of steps, I know, but it's really straight forward and simple enough. Since everyone's name will be changed at the same time (with minutes apart, obviously, then everyone will be able to request their next name change at the same time. Makes it easier on me.

People that suddenly stop participating will just end up with whatever name I select for them


About PMing back with five random names per person
 
I have sent a PM to everyone on this list asking them to submit their 5 names. Once everyone has replied, we'll go to the next phase of this raffle.

*I am asking everyone to reply within the next 24-48 hours. If some people fail to reply within that time, I'll allow others that have replied to submit more names if they'd like.

1. Kraul
2. Dr. Feelgood

4. midget
5. Narcissistic Cannibal
6. Old Pride
7. WLFootastic48
8. MakeYourself85
9. Forever-Fate

These are the only 3 people that have not sent me their name suggestions. Whosey was online and read my PM. I'm not sure why he didn't send a name.

Also, I just thought of something that I need to run by everyone. When I shuffle the name bank and post numbers for people to draw, everyone will be drawing blindly. You all have no knowledge of the name bank outside of your own suggestions. All you know is you are drawing a number. The same is not true for me. I know the entire bank. So if I were to pick a number, then I'd know what name I'm picking..which would basically allow me to pick whatever name I wanted and would defeat the purpose of this raffle.

So as a solution, I am wanting to give up my pick to another person (meaning I let someone else pick a number for me). And I will keep whatever name is selected for me unless it's a name that I personally put in the name-bank...then I'll redraw. So who should pick a name for me? My first choice would be Kraul since this was his idea. If he doesn't want to or whatever, then I'll leave it open for anyone to volunteer.


Quote:
 
Who the fuck gets attached to a number? Not me, that's for sure. Yeah, just pick any number on the list that hasn't been picked. You can close your eyes and point for all I care.

Of all the names that have been submitted so far (not including my own), there is one name that I absolutely love. I don't know if anyone else would like it, but it made me laugh.

We are now just waiting on Whosey to submit his names. Want this to go faster? Put some pressure on Whosey, guys.

I see nothing about a time limit. The closest is you saying a few times that if people take to long, you'll choose for them or something along those lines. :shrug:

I would say just let everybody choose their numbers now, skipping the order part since I don't know if we'll ever get anywhere if we have to wait (we're on the second number and already on day two).

Then those who never chose a number (after a few days from now) get choices of numbers randomly generated for them. :shrug:

Just call it a necessary amendment to the rules.

Then you clearly are not reading the posts that I made up in my head and don't actually exists. See, that's on you. That's your carelessness to fictional details. I don't know how to help you. Maybe you should start paying closer attention, man.

I am fine with this. I guess we can do it the same way we do the POTM voting in that everyone just adds their name to the list and pick their number. You obviously cannot pick a number that has already been picked. :tu:

The current list is:

MakeYourself85 - 36
