    It's random most likely.

    Some random person said that the last person to join is the root. I don't believe this is true, but I do feel like it happens a little more often then it should when I join at the last second. Probably just bad luck. I think it's random.

    int playerToBeRoot = generator.nextInt(numberOfPlayersOnline+1);
    player[playerToBeRoot] = rootZombie;

    Obviously that isn't the code in the plugin files, but that's the gist of it. It takes a random number, 0 through however many players there are online, then matches that number with the corresponding player, and makes him/her the root.
    It's not some fancy algorithm you can figure out and use to rig the lottery, as it were.
