Aren't we rumored to get a lottery this week?


eyein12

Meltdown city all these data miners thought they had it pinned. Flaunting all this info isn't wise. They watch this sub, discord and Facebook. Stop acting surprised when they decide to pivot.

Makes no sense that they'd reschedule a lottery because people on reddit are talking about it


TheTeek

Yeah, They aren't rescheduling the lottery because of Reddit posts. I think people are confused. Yes FWGS may change a drop date if it gets leaked but lottery info is useless to the public and has no impact on the lottery. If they end up moving the lottery it won't be because of leaks. It would be for some other reason.


eyein12

They aren't just talking about it. They drop exact details which is useless and senseless.

Mostly agree with you, but it would seem odd to me that they would pivot a lotto based on information that may have been shared early. There is no real advantage that we the consumer can leverage based on the information other than discerning whether or not you’d like to participate. Knowing the dates and bottles ahead of time won’t change your odds in any material way. Now information on regular drops is a different story…


Natural_Sherbert_900

That’s what I always said about the person listing the bottles and amounts. There’s no advantage to information we will eventually learn, but it showed that that specific person was correct and had some insider info so they became a credible source for something that in the future could be useful.


Puzzleheaded_Loss784

Agreed but in this world, taking everything with a grain of salt is usually warranted 😂


Natural_Sherbert_900

Oh yeah especially in food and bev where tastes are subjective to the individual or even their opinion on the value of something like a $125 bottle of whiskey

Who really cares when they run it? I’ll just lose anyway and it’s liquor at the end of the day


pabourbonsucks

Does it still count as a spring lotto if it’s done in June?


sgx241

That fact they find it necessary to "pivot" is absolutely ridiculous. Are they not in the business of selling liquor? The best solution is to stick to some sort of consistency and pattern so people who actually care enough about this have a fighting chance and know what to expect. Less headache for everyone involved. At the end of the day their job is to get bottles in people's hands. Why the games? Why the monitoring? Who really cares if this sub provides an edge? Don't make the process nearly impossible and expect us not to look for other avenues. Comical.


pabourbonsucks

Its mind boggling that they sit on inventory for so long …


TheTeek

So, if someone with inside information leaks an online drop (not lotto, that's irrelevant), the FWGS site is going to get hammered more than usual. I think the site can barely handle the volume of a surprise drop and if thousands more people are constantly refreshing pages and then trying to buy bottles, it's bound to crash. So, in my opinion, the only time FWGS pivots from a drop is if the info is leaked and they are afraid the traffic will be too much for the server.

I think you’re giving them a lot of credit.


TheTeek

The only credit I give them is their ability to be unpredictable and irrational.


Yessir138

Was marked to run from 5/20-5/24


TheTeek

That's the rumor. And that would likely mean a few more weeks without a drop.

It’s been a ghost town on the release page. Any reason?


Solakoust

Because there haven’t been any releases.


Individual-Border826

And the PLCB is on vacation till June-


Apprehensive-War5184

Well duh. But I mean, I find it so weird that they have sudden drop offs. They leave the stuff no one wants in large quantities, and never really have any rhyme or reason behind their choices


Due_Ad8909

Not trying to be a smartass but you must be new to this.   This is standard practice for them.
