I neglected to add the latest update to the lottery as a comment, so anyone following along may have missed it. Adding as a comment now in the hopes interested folks see it:
Okay, so here’s some updates in light of the announcement that Good Heart Tokens are extending until end of day Thursday, April 7th, Pacific Time. First, I’m going to just donate whatever amount I get to the winner of the lottery. I’ll still subsidize the amount to make up any shortfall in the earnings, but I’m making a couple modifications:
I’m upping the amount I’ll subsidize to $1000. This reflects the change to a cap of 1000 tokens that can be redeemed.
I’m retracting my bid to get the Goodest Heart. This was a fun game for April 1, but since we’ve been asked to discontinue “fun” uses of the karma system I’ll retract that.
I’ll make the drawing on or after April 8 based on the procedure described above. I’ll do this based on the vote values of the answers whenever I happen to look at it. I’ll document the values at the time I ran the drawing as well as the outcome. Thus you can continue to vote on the options to adjust the relative weights, however in the spirit of no more “fun” you should only make adjustments to bring them in line with your preferences, not to artificially pump up the number of tokens I’m going to receive to offset my subsidy of the pool (or to try to push the pool to over $1000 and see if we can get LW to pay out).
