Last week's lottery didn't run because of an error in the winner-picking script. I just finally got a chance to look into what went wrong and it turns out the error was caused by there being so few votes.

So I discontinued the lottery. It's always been a little tedious to move the stars each week, but having my script break because no one voted sealed the deal. I know there are a few people who voted regularly in the lottery, and to them I apologize. I hope you will understand my perspective and see that it didn't make sense for me to continue running the lottery when it was used by so few.

I have to agree. When your script fails due to inactivity, it's of saddening and a bit disheartening.

Ender with the new influx of people on bots 4 you may have to reinstate the Lottery. there are many people still interested in using the star system in the future. i do agree that in bots 2 there we so few people who still played that the star system was ineffective but we have so many new people who are now playing on closed beta. please restart the lottery when we go to open beta

The lottery will very likely return. I would be able to fully automate it now that I'm in full control of the game, thus eliminating the burden of running it.

I tried to vote yesterday for fun, it didn't work out too well. I put in a random ID hoping we could vote for bots4 now. You should make something for that so we can get more players :)
