Provider Poll - HY1 2020

FAT32FAT32 Administrator, Deal Compiler Extraordinaire
edited June 2020 in Announcements

Hi everyone, it is the time for provider poll again! A chance for providers to get the "Top Provider" tag and for the members to get free prizes :)

Try not to discuss in this thread so it makes our life easier when counting votes. (Small discussions / compliments are fine, long discussion will be moved to another thread)

Important

Requirements to vote:

  1. Your account must be created before 1 Jun 2020.
  2. Your account must have at least 5 posts spread between at least 2 days in between 1 Jun 2019 and 1 Jun 2020 (inclusive).
  3. Providers can vote, but not for themselves (the same goes for Host Reps).

Rules for voting:

  1. You get 3 votes.
  2. One vote per provider (Some providers with multiple brands are considered as one).
  3. You can vote less than 3 times if you want.
  4. This time, you get 1 additional vote for provider that is NOT a Top Provider yet. (This is to give more opportunity to the non-top providers).
  5. Voting will end on 21 Jun 2020 11:59pm (EST).

Voting Template:

Notes:

  • Most providers require you to pass the fraud check if you are selected as the prize winner
  • IDs are used by lottery selection algorithm (see below)
  • In the case where the number of voters is less than the number of prizes, some voters will get more than 1 prize (refer to the new algorithm)
  • Special thanks to the mods on helping to count the votes :)
  • Providers can still add prizes by PM me the details or comment in the private thread

To ensure the fairness of the lottery, this is the hash of the MAGIC_SEED that will be used for selection: ec80440b08a22f48e6233c31ce168d0e604b9227f8b6295ba8101a74ebed2d56 (SHA256)

const seedrandom = require('seedrandom');

// Those values are just an example
const MAGIC_SEED = 'Seed';
const ALL_USERS = ['FAT32', 'hawc', 'hzr', 'JackH', 'jbiloh', 'jcaleb', 'Jord', 'Nekki', 'netomx', 'Nick', 'PieHasBeenEaten', 'raindog308', 'trewq'];
const PRIZE_COUNT = 5;

// Find winners
const rng = seedrandom(MAGIC_SEED + '_' + ALL_USERS.length + '_' + PRIZE_COUNT);
let allWinners = [];
let prizeLeft = PRIZE_COUNT;
while (prizeLeft > 0) {
  let winners = ALL_USERS.map((user) => ({ username: user, rand: rng() }));
  winners.sort((a, b) => a.rand - b.rand);
  winners = winners.slice(0, prizeLeft);
  winners = winners.map((selected) => selected.username);
  allWinners = allWinners.concat(winners);
  prizeLeft -= winners.length;
}

// Output
console.log(allWinners);
