A valid point, but there's got to be a better way to do it than a random
draw, particularly if the story is to be the "final word" on the subject. 
Were I making the decisions, I would lean toward a selection method based
on quality of the write-ups: he who tells the best story, tells the true
story.

I really don't like the idea of "luck of the draw" dictating the future of
the Deadlands universe.  I can't speak for everyone, but I'm pretty sure I
hate it. ;)
