[Here's my draft resolution for the DracoLotto. Please look it over and let me know if you see any errors.]
INTRODUCTION Welcome, one and all, to the DracoLotto! Thank you to all our contributors! The lottery will begin shortly. I, Aris, am your Lottery Administrator! Firstly, though, I would like to assure you of the randomness of this lottery. For randomization, I used the random.choice() function from Python 2.7.16 running on MacOSX. I passed this function an array containing player names as strings, where the multiplicity of each such string was equal to that player's contribution to the relevant pool. I repeated this procedure a number of times equal to the number of products to be distributed. [ Further note on randomization: Given that this is a draft, I should explain how I intend to maintain randomization if there are any errors. If there is an error in contribution values, I will redo the randomization for the relevant section from scratch. If contribution values are correct, and I attempted to distribute too many products for a pool, I will remove some choices from the end of the list; if I attempted to distribute too few, I will add to the end. ] PART 0: OPENING FORMALITIES The pools are closed. The House Pool is currently empty. The Voting Pool contains 5 Voting Cards. The Justice Pool contains 4 Justice Cards. The Victory Pool contains 3 Victory Cards. The Legislative Pool contains 5 Legislative Cards. Contribution values for each pool are in the next section.
