Mirror : Domain List and Application Process

[X-Tuornen/LF (Geir)]

So are there some domains no one wants?

Assigning Domains
1) Being the only person choosing a specific domain as your 1st choice makes it very likely you will get it. Unless no one has chosen your third choice at all - I have to balance the domains out and even out the randomness of letting you all choose. This means I have to start at the least popular choices and make sure they are covered. Sometimes that will mean it is 3 people fighting it out (proverbially) for their 2nd choice, rather than the 1st choices they might all have had otherwise. Writing the logic out for the choice mechanism would be dead complicated

What about listing the least desired domains? :-)
If you want them filled first is could be that many a player would be happy to play them even if they did not make the pri list.

I want them all!

I am perfectly happy with the assignment methodology I have, thanks

Hi Matt, does this mean that some players may end up with realms they didn't request?

[Aeric (DM Matt)]

There is always a risk that we may have to come back to some players and inform them that none of the domains they requested are available depending on how many people choose the same options. I would hope we would be able to limit any risk of that by some clever jiggery pokery behind the scenes and by anticipating those possibilities

So, could we get a copy forwarded when we submitt wishes in the form? I forget very quickly. Could be halfling trait.
