RNG Fairness

[VarHyid]

What if, let's say a TV competition, and the winner gets a huge amount of price money.
Later it's found out that there was an error in the voting system.
Would the winner still be allowed to keep the price money, or would they do a re-vote?

Depends on the error. If it did not lower any one person’s odds any more than any other participants, but only introduced the possibility that the drawing could fail, then if it didn’t fail, the results are fair and odds equal.

and all the people that got zero'd just get a tough luck suckers, system is only fair for the winners

Is it to fair to people, who never had a house before and won their plot, to say "HA! Sucks for you, you're losing it now." Yeah, that's gonna end REAL great.

The winner should still keep the money? It's not their fault the system was flawed. Things need to be checked before they go official. However, the winner shouldn't be stripped of their winnings because things weren't double, TRIPLE checked before it went live.

Easy fix: Hold another contest and choose a few more winners. /s

Anyway, this whole situation is sore for everyone involved. Myself included. Am I angry? Yes. Am I upset? Yes. People who won their plots shouldn't have it taken away, because they played the lottery like everyone else. The blame should be on SE for not triple-checking to be sure everything was up to date. Don't punish the players because of a system failure. This is all I will say on the matter. Arguing over nonsense will get us nowhere. Let us wait to see what the team does and decides to do on this matter.
