If you can’t do that accurately, and I can predict exactly when the manastones cease to drop, how is that a decent comparison?

It's the equivalent of a randomized timer. The dev's for fun could make the Manastone timer a random number between 10 days and 50 days, and players would have to figure out when it happens. That is still a timer, you simply don't know when it ends. It sounds like you have falsely assumed that everybody must always know the time left on a timer. Timers can be hidden.

Sleeper is the same way, it is a timer by vote. Every day that players don't kill Sleeper, they are voting to extend the timer. But since we can't predict the future, it is somewhat random as to when it occurs.

However, as I stated before, every ST key that drops increases the probability of Sleeper spawning, either by player dispute or by accident. Realistically speaking the chance of waking Sleeper is extremely high once you have like 200 unique keyed players.
