I like the idea of having an obvious opt-in form into the game/ritual that makes it clearer that you understand how people might react to how you use the code. Maybe just something simple like having to click through two Google Docs in order to actually get your code, or a small Google Form that has the code on its confirmation screen. I really like the overall ritual and game, but also don’t want people to feel like they are tacitly signaling approval. The form could also have a simple checkbox that says “I don’t want to see my codes, and I don’t want to be sent codes in future years”, which we could take into account when deciding on who to send codes to in future years.
I think this would be most meaningful if opting out resulted in another person being sent codes instead. (Or a larger pool of people was invited to opt in and then a random subset of those who did were given codes.)
[I don’t really like the ritual at the moment but I like hill-climbing towards finding better versions of it]

I like that idea, and I think it would make me feel much more on board with the idea of the ritual!
Seems good to me too.
