like jhenderson, i agree with you both here. i wanted a ykesha as much as
the next guy, and i can use it and more importantly WOULD use it. any group
just get the lotto rules before-hand so there are no surprises. the biggest
problem is the robes winning ykeshas and sashes. only two possiblities,
they're going to their twinks or getting traded. so i guess the 3 types of
lottos are everyone in, only those who can use, or those that can use it
best. just depends on what you're camping and what kind of group you are
in.
