I don't think they are taking into account even players, much less characters who have gone on such a thing before. So far no repeats on the missions, but it is rather unfair to see people who got in on the infiltration way back when got picked, yet people signed up who missed out on that were passed up.

I do think if a player has never had their character chosen for any plot with random selection (so like the infiltration for instance, but there's some others from the past as well) they should get first dibs and then let people have a second shot. There are players who have been in the game for years and signed up every time and have yet to be picked for anything other than drafts (which doesn't count since everyone who signed up would eventually get in, and now they allow pretty much everyone who wants in to get in), plus new players deserve a chance to get in as well. Pick people who haven't gone on such a thing first.

Though I do agree that a mission with a high chance of something bad going wrong could be fun. And it doesn't even require killing characters, serious injuries that put them in the clinic for a at least a week or two also could work.
