Random Config
Idea
The details of Random's ideational origin are hazy, but it was definitely some mix of Stabby, Circlesquared and Tabun talking about a discussion on twitter wherein a Valve employee mentioned "good randomness" in competitive game modes. Random is the surprisingly playable and balanced result of the insane attempt to introduce more of this so-called "good randomness" into an already mildly random game.
Ideas for Random Special events are too numerous to count. Too many were either way too hard to cobble together or would have been utterly unplayable, but praise to all for coming up with brain-hurting or cringe-inducing ideas.

Playtesting
Many thanks to Rjven, Dread, Scully, Mikkelworld, Oni et al. for the large number of beta-test sessions they played and the countless weird bugs they unearthed. Extra props to Scully for letting me install Random 1.0 beta on his precious but cheap German server.
