Am I the only one that's excited to play all 5 characters?
I have seen some recent polls for fan favorite classes, and while a few classes seem to be the leaders, it's all pretty darn close. The fact that Blizzard was able to create 5 completely different classes that the masses of fans out there can't choose an overwhelming favorite from is quite an accomplishment in my eyes.
Personally, come May 15th, I'm flippin’ a coin. Now I've just gotta fine a 5 sided coin... maybe the auction house?

You know, you don't need a 5 sided coin. You just need a regular coin with Heads and Tails. Let's call the 5 classes A,B,C,D,E. Do the following: 1. Throw the coin twice,
If you get HH, play A! - > Otherwise go to step 2.
2. Throw the coin twice again,
if you get HH -> Play B!
if you get HT -> Play C!
if you get TH -> Play D!
if you get TT -> Play E!
The above algorithm is actually wrong. I guess do this instead:
1. Throw the coin three times in a row:
if you get HHH, play A!
if you get HHT, play B!
if you get HTH, play C!
if you get THH, play D!
if you get THT, play E!
if you get anything else, like TTT, TTH, HTT, start all over!
Done! Don't spend money on 5-sided coin, they are overrated!

I could be mathmatically wrong, but wouldn't that give Option A a 1/4 chance to be selected, while all the others have a 1/4 chance only after winning a 3/4 chance.. in otherwords, All the other otpions would only have a 18.75% chance of being selected compared to options As 25% chance?
My place really was here. I was too foolish and stubborn to notice. But, what I truly hoped for then was here. Why do I always realize it When I've already lost it.
Lets say you have a pecking order of classes you think you want to play, but still can't decide. But you want to weight the odds in a certain order. But.. all you have is a coin to flip.
Lets say you Mostly want to play a Wizard. Next most, you want to play WD or Monk. After that, Barb or DH the least (but still enough you want to do a random roll to give them all a chance at your first play through.
Give WD and Monk Heads (your two classes you want to play 2nd most)
Give Wizard (The class you want to play Most) Barb and DH (The two class you want to play least) Tails.
Flip once. If its Heads (Monk and WD) then assign Monk Heads and WD Tails. Roll again. You have your winner. Odds of ending up with a Monk or a WD is 25% each. (50% chance times 50% chance or .5*.5)
If that first roll is Tails. Give Barb Heads and DH tails - Give Wizard Nothing. Flip again. Winner of Barb/DH now gets Heads and Wizard gets Tails. Flip again. You have your winner. Odds of ending up with a Wizard is 30% (60% chance times 50% chance or .6*.5) and the odds of ending up with a Barb or a DH is 15% each (60% chance times 50% chance times 50% chance or .6*.5*.5)
So, you end up with a:
30% chance to play Wizard
25% chance to play WD or Monk
15% chance to play Barb or DH.
This is what I'm doing!!
Edit** so ya.. this is comepletely wrong Fail It was fun to think of anyway!
In actuality, this ended up giving Monk, WD and Wizard all 25% chances while giving Barb and DH 12.5% chances. Logic failed me when thinking the first roll gave Wiz, Dh and Barb a 60% chance rather than a 50% chance.. fail

Ahh you fixed it as I was typing
I still say logging into WoW would be easier
