Just for the record though I do have 2 more Hun spots and 2 more Marks spots that have been given away today which means I only have one Hun spot left at this point.
That makes perfect sense.....
I have also had affiliates and other people pick them, unknowingly. That way I have a backup of how it was chosen and that it wasn't done based on likes and dislikes. For example... I had a contest one time and I had another member choose the winner, and he didn't know what he was doing, just that he had to choose a number between 1 and however many members there was.... he was quite shocked when he found out what he was choosing the number for and that he didn't choose his own.... LOL

There are a ton of various ways to pick winners without having to "play favorites" and I know how that game goes, it happens all the time. I guess it's nature to say that if you don't win then it is fixed, it sucks but it always happens.
