@Thorvald: Could be. I'd forgotten that the cycle continues on the old, paid accounts even though they aren't active anymore. Snowhawk was before me; she must have burned all her points before leaving, so her stuff popped up.

... Huh. I kinda expected that token to sit around for a while.

@fragmented_imagination: Actually, it starts with the accounts that have been waiting around the longest, and works with them first. The more recently your account has been shown, the less chance there is for it to be chosen again. I saw that Tea Leo was picked twice in one week, and was genuinely surprised by it. In the 30 years that Side 7's been around, that's the first time I've seen that happen when there were still many accounts with tokens waiting, rather than when the pool was only a few accounts.
@BadKarma: Aaah. So, nothing is definite, it's all mostly left up to chance.
@fragmented_imagination: Pretty much, with some weighting. I wanted the process to be automated, unbiased, and fair.
@Thorvald: Oh, hey, look. Tea Leo popped up again.
@fragmented_imagination: She can't keep getting AWAY with this..!
Now I don't have my fingers on the nuts and bolts, but from the faces I've seen in the parade these last few months, I think the site's nearly exhausted the old waiting list. I'm pretty sure Tea Leo cycled twice within the same week. :P
