so you want a list 500 players long of when they got shady goblin and for the players to all agree/adhere to it?

Ok guy!

Its gonna just be stormfeather 2.0

this could work till it doesn't work anymore. Atm it makes more sense because this is a 3 day instead of an 18 hour. if the list gets 500 players long the people invested in the list will want to honor it. its a self healing list.

Sure the first 10, 20, maybe 30 or even 50 people might agree but when there's 100+ people waiting the majority of people are going to agree to wait almost a year instead of taking their chances? Really doubt it

This would be a big incentive not to agree to or honor a shady goblin roll if you had low or decent ping. Someone could take their chances with a roll and possibly finish the quest a few years from now or they could compete, possibly win after a couple tries, and get a guaranteed angry goblin in a month or two and works towards the rest.

edit: Just saw the shady goblin variance post, first part still applies. Fortunately we just had 40 threads about how great competition for BIS loot is for P99. Said angry in first edit but meant shady. Stupid ass shady angry goblin names.

This. Infinitely long lists demoralize everyone. Scout works because everyone has a fresh chance every time. A short list where everyone has a chance to get slot #3 (because that's how long the max list length is) or something like that might also work, but I just don't see anyone liking a system where they're #89 in line (even if there were in fact 88 people in front of them). It might be the most fair system, but it doesn't seem viable for this server. Fairness in the form of an equal roll seems far more viable.

Good point. My vote is that shady and angry should both be roll
