The whole point of the PVP aspect is that each guild gets to "decide their fate" in a way... /randoming defeats the whole idea.

I agree, while it would be fair the /randoming idea defeats the point of the competitive aspect of this system. IMO all a guild needs to do is state their intention to attempt a raid mob to get on this rotation.
Since this is an issue, maybe some more words on how it would work for a new person..
We're going to have to say that certain milestones have to be met first. Have you cleanly taken down the seahorses and Phinny? Have you attempted and downed a dragon? No CT picks until you take down a dragon. If a guild wants in on the pick, they state their intention to try Nagafen or Vox, and we're going to have to let them. To be fair, so that the "on deck" guild isn't stepped on, they should get the NEXT dragon, not the expected one. They follow the same rules of engagement as other guilds, but if they don't get the kill, they don't get a spot in the next duel.
I apologize, but since it is pertinent, and because Allizia wanted to add the 24 hour clause to this idea, I am now going to temporarily hijack my own thread.
The rules of engagement need to be reworked. 24 hours to "engage and kill" is ludicrous. 24 hours to engage seems like a long time but fair, but to get as many attempts as you want during that time rewards failure. Something like "24 hours to engage and make 2 (solid) attempts (wipes - not including resets due to aggro during setup etc.)." If you can't get your target down, you need to step aside and let someone else try. This is just my opinion, but we do need to work it out.
