Rather than random dice rolling and thus people getting to be in it more than once. What if we just looked at the member list (either in the order it is, or sorted by post count) and grouped people in the order they are in. If you sorted by post count, you could weed out people who aren't even here, and are just members for whatever reason.

Just an idea.
But we can do that with common sense, too. And that would mean the same people would always get drawn together, barring large lapses in activity. And that method wouldn't account for people who have left and still have relatively high post counts, nor people who didn't wish to be included for whatever reason.
So you want people in it multiple times? And I also said that we didn't have to view it by post count, you could just view it normally and group people. We can exclude people based on common sense too. And we won't know who doesn't wish to be included unless they mention it, which would be needed for the other method too.

But whatevs, it was just an idea to eliminate random chance landing someone in every drawing. I guess I didn't understand exactly what your goal was here, I may have misread.

I'd like to point out that your originally proposed method would consistently mean that you and Wylr wouldn't be in the same picture, if we held to it strictly. I get the feeling you'd probably like to be with him. xd

I really doubt the random dice would put the same person in it so many times that it would be a problem. It just seems like a bit of a silly thing to be planning for, to me. If it did become a problem, we could always re-roll. My goal is to make picking a group as quick and simple as possible for the person volunteering their time to make the piece of homepage art, and your method sounds way more complicated than it has to be (unless I misunderstand it.)

I was thinking of doing it like Mafia signups, where everyone who wanted in on it would have to post in a thread to express their interest. People who weren't regulars would never see it, and people who didn't want in would simply not post.

Nah, I don't really care. If I want art of us together, I ask for it. Plus some of our guild artists object to drawing us together anyway.

@LPS: I don't think it is complex at all. Hit Guild Members, pick three to five (whatever number you are doing) who are near each other, draw them.

It's obvious to see that you were pointing at me with that comment. l:

From what I've seen, I'm the only one who's objected.

That kind of defeats the randomness factor, doesn't it? xd

Nah, Tota. I object, too.

I hate doing couples art.

Yeah, she probably meant you.

I don't see any reason to deny I was talking about you, I never said anything negative or resentful. I stated something that could be a problem if Zach and I were to be drawn together, I'm sorry if you took it offensively.

Well, saying it as though there's more than one person who's refused to make art for you in this guild feels like a lie to me and therefore a barbed and disdainful comment towards me. I'm not calling you a liar, but it's how I felt. I also feel I want closure on this subject, for it's been open for far too long.

May I ask what your intention was then? Wait, silly question. xp I already know. Just had to reread what you've previously wrote.

Mentioning why I wouldn't expect us to be drawn together.

I can see now that it was the way you worded it out that made me upset. But before I say anything more, I'm going to ask if you want to help me work this out. Because, honestly ever since that one day with the whole art thing, I've felt like you've kept a grudge against me. O: And I don't want to feel that way anymore.
