Raven is a user on this board. You'll meet him soon enough.

Anyways, yes, you must randomize the timer because the way the random system works is that it uses a random seed. A random seed is a way to ensure you always get the same random numbers. However, if you set the random seed to the system time, it will always generate different numbers each time you run the program.
