The ones in red have yet to check in. Zaffy, did you include these in your random number generator? If so, how did you assign them numbers for the generator?
To everyone questioning my method. I did not include the people who hadn't posted yet. I just did a simple random from 1 to 13, so my name was actually still included. But, it didn't pick me so that wasn't an issue. Numbers were assigned as people claimed them.
My purpose was to get a vote out there which hopefully got people to start talking. I think it was a success. Now we have a lot more info out there than we did before. I know there is bias in my method, (by not including the non-posters, by not excluding myself) but I felt at the time of my post (7am my time) that stuff wasn't important for my purpose.
