Default Proposition to Improve Badain Sock

Can we agree that socking Badain, a 16 hour variance mob with no player agreement in place to prevent a FTE clickfest, is not enjoyable?

Can we come to some sort of player agreement to make it less miserable? Currently there are multiple other turn-in mobs like this that the playerbase has more or less universally agreed to /random on in order to make everyone's lives easier. Now, Badain has variance so it makes things slightly more complicated, but I'm confident that if people are willing, we can come up with something that works to alleviate the pain a bit. I propose one of two solutions:

Option 1:
Everyone poopsocks the spawn. When Badain spawns, everyone present will /random 1000 within 30 seconds. The winner has turn-in rights. Downside is everyone still needs to sit there and watch for the spawn, upside is it's a lot more fair than clickfest and allows a little less concentration than staring at your screen like a hawk.

Option 2:
Badain ToD is publicly available on the forums. At the exact start of his window (3 days - 8 hours or 64 hours after ToD), everyone present will /rand 1000 and the winner will have turn-in rights. Downside to this is an accurate timer must be publicly available, upside is only the winner has to poopsock and everyone else can go about their business.

With either option, a Badain that is up with no one present would be FFA. In the event of an earthquake, if option 2 was chosen and the winner was still present waiting to turn in, he does not lose his turn unless he opts to leave the camp.

Personally I would prefer Option 2 because it saves a lot of man hours for everyone involved, but I would accept Option 1 if the majority of posters prefer it. I am putting this up as a poll with 3 options, the third being to change nothing and leave things the way they are. At 12:01 AM EDT on May 15th, let's tally the results and consider that the winner.

Feel free to discuss in the comments.
