So, 8 people signed up for the BAFAB draw. I included ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
callmemadam who sneaked in after the deadline. ;)
At first I thought I would just use a random number generator in good old-fashioned Pioneer Woman style. But the thing is, she always has thousands of entries, doesn't know any of them, and is more self-controlled than me. I found I just kept clicking the button thinking, 'Ooh, look, it's randomly chosen X. And now Y.' And then it wasn't random at all.
So, I exercised some further cunning and got the random number generator to give me a random sequence of numbers from 1 to 8. It came up with: 2 1 3 7 8 5 6 4. Then I did the random number thing again, this time without being able to instantly tell who the numbers related to. And I got 4. The 4th number in the sequence was 7. And the 7th commenter was...
( Imagine the sound of a drumroll, please )
