If we didn't get an email yet, do you still want us to fill out the form, because one of the questions was which wave did you get an email?
I am looking forward to seeing if anyone gets the Moxy. [/quote. The Moxy is number 5 on my downtown. I'm hoping with it being new to the list it might help it fly under the radar and give me a better chances.
Someone linked to a reddit post where a programmer did some digging into the running man. In a nutshell, form entry is the primary determining factor overall, but form submission time can affect the outcome. They calculated 70 entries to form per second. So, if you’re in at 09:00:01 you will be after the 09:00:00 group(1-70) and before the 09:00:02 group(141-210). How fast you submitted will determine where you are placed in your actual group though. You could be number 71, 140, or anywhere in between within your own “group” depending on how fast you submitted.
I think that's a definite possibility but that's also assuming they even keep track of submission time. It's also possible that they sort the order by, say, last name of the main occupant or something arbitrary like that.
The reddit post just mentioned that if the timestamp on the redirect url (which is in epoch seconds) was what they used to prioritize then they would need a tie breaker, and mentioned submission time as a possibility. I don't believe there was any evidence that submission time plays a role, and we haven't seen any since they moved to the new system.I do think it is likely that there is a tiebreaker but that it's just something essentially random that they generate.
Has anyone had any luck getting two beds after initially requesting one?
I don't know anything about coding. Would OnPeak automatically get a timestamp on submission even if they don't particularly look for it? I guess I thought they said that form submission isn't taken into account but if they do use submission time as a tiebreaker, then they totally lied about it. I think that would be kind of upsetting.
Were all the emails today for downtown hotel reservations? Did anyone see if any non-downtown hotels went out as well?
