Wildcard only randomizes the pool of jobs in your favorite, then does an odds check with whoever else has it in their favorite.
If successful you get the job. Congrats you are a clown.
If failed, then it randomizes the job again, discounting the failed job from the same pool.
It is of course, possible to exhaust your wildcard pool of jobs. Let's say you select the Captain and the HoS. You fail both odds check (as there's already people who have it in their favorite) and there's no jobs left in your pool. In which case, wildcard would just select any random job that is not in your pool. It's the only con I can think of with this, but if your pool is quite small (less than 4 for example, and choosing 1 person jobs) then you're playing with fire in terms of probability.
There's no conflict if there's more than 1 person who picks wildcard.
Lets say there's person A,B and C who have wildcard chosen.
A rolls a job, fails the odd check, rolls again, gets the job in his pool.
B and C roll a job and get the same job, in which case we'll say janitor. There's another person who's not wildcard who has janitor selected so altogether their odds are 33:33:33. B succeeds the odds and becomes janitor. The person who had janitor in their selected favorites gets a job in their high priority instead. C rolls another job in their pool and succeeds the odd check.
Sounds complicated, but it's not really.
