I'm not entirely pleased with how the dragon lottoing today went about. Hardly unexpected someone would be is it? 
I'm actually suprised I'm first here posting about it, and of course have to add the obligatory "it has nothing to do with the fact that I got nothing", though I'm fully confident that will be discredited.
This was the first draw of a kind, and as such the policy on how to work this out is a bit rough, but between small mistakes we have some large ones. My main concerns would be:
The rules were pretty unclear when it started, even after reading the thread on the issue as well as being in the CG to work out the lotto rules, I still stood guessing once it begun. All guilds gave 1 number, and 3 items of interest, 1 number was drawn and in order of closest to that number each guild was assigned the top item on their list based on avaliability. Would that be a correct guess?
Secondly, information on what numbers and drops who listed should have been posted here directly prior to lotto starting. I wasn't on site but I'm off the impression only actually Mallus knew who picked which number and as such there were no security or double-checks whatsoever? You have to forgive me, but to my paranoid mind it just doesn't come across very well when a biased party is involved and no security applied, especially not with the results that followed. I'm for gods sake hoping everything went clean, but it is disturbing that numbers, especially that of DK, weren't priorly posted to clear all shadow of a doubt. What I can ask of now is atleast hindsight to clear my morbid curiosity, care to list who picked what?
Thirdly, there was one rule we all agreed on in the CG without opposers, that that no guild would be egliable for more than 1 drop at all. This rule was in effect broken as DK through admittedly a unusual event and technicality recieved 2 drops. For those that didn't know, VV existed during the dragon raid but before the lotto merged with DK. Simple hashed out lotto rules didn't cover an usual event like that, I would hope Mallus had seen the weird situation arising here but alas not. VV and DK ended up with a drop each, as VV is DK now, DK ended up with 2 drops. This wasn't as agreed on I believe and I'd like to see anyone come through and justify it as fair. I know this is because of a weird event, one of those things that happen, but as the lotto was held by a member of DK I'm sure he realises it must be done fairly and the absurdity in 1 guild ending up with 2 drops when this was expressedly ruled against. Because of this I'd like to ask DK, out of the kindness of their hearts and not because some rule can force them to, to return one of their recieved drops. In my eyes, you have a chance to make or break the fairness and good spirit in which this lotto was intended.
