It's interesting. Apparently, there are two different methods in applying the random numbers. I was equally confused by He's Meat's order determination. Looks like Agabriel and myself are used to the same application of random numbers. This is how we arrived at it -
Original Sign up order -
1 Adrian
2 PJMB
3 Munich Man
4 springer0432
5 hes meat
6 Mighty Moose
7 Rube
8 rjoh
9 gfdwarf07
10 PJ Axelsson
11 Jamesgang77
12 Modmark
Random # order = 2,7,8,10,9,12,1,6,5,3,4,11.
These numbers correspond to your original sign up order. So, since 2 was the first number up, PJMB, in the 2 spot, goes first. Rube, who was in the #7 sign up spot, goes second, since #7 is the second # listed, and so on. It took me a while to figure out how HM was applying the numbers. I now understand how he (and Munich Man, I guess) were applying the random numbers. In all my drafts using random numbers, I have never seen it done that way. But obviously, it has been done that way by some. You learn something every day. In the future, we will have to make sure up front how random #s will be applied. 8-)
