Maybe we need to have the winner respond within 5 minutes of the results getting posted, since some people don't want to wait until morning. How bastardly would that be, a bunch of Wagunners hitting F5 every minute for an hour just to see if they won.
I cannot imagine a better way to kill a webserver than having people hitting F5 all at once. (DDoS)
Ehh only a few dozen. Unless the server is a Kaypro I think it'll be OK.
I've done some geeky things in my past that have contributed to some servers getting hit pretty hard...
It was a reasonable question. Not a demand or a complaint, by any means. No more impatient than asking "what time is dinner?".

I'm starting to think that old11bravo is a majority shareholder in the random.org website . . . .
Congratulations to the winners, and happy birthday to WaGuns!
So here's the deal . . . we have five prizes. Old11bravo can choose which one he wants, and then Blaze.45 can choose, etc. until the prizes are gone.
You don't need to choose a prize. For example, if you're not going to ever build an AR, or you're never going to fly to Nevada for training, then it would be cool to pass on it and let it go to someone that will use the prize. But, it's the call of the winners.
