Reminds me of SAAR-N forms for various networks; there's a line that asks for justification for access. You'll see some creatively generic entries as people try to justify why they need access to command e-mail and share drive.

What gets me about the while thing is you could have a pretty messed up die and it'll still serve as a valid randomizer for the point gamers use the randomizer for. Until a player learns their die well enough that he can manipulate it unseen via some sort of trick throw, the effect of an unbalanced die will be unintentional.

When a player spends hours learning a non transferrable skill with a randomly defective tool, which could be fixed by handing them another $1 die or making them use a free app on their cell phone, all to cheat at pretend storytelling, maybe you don't actually want to hang out with that person.

I think people think they're going to have a die that skews 75-25 high low or something, but if its shaped right and the density is close, it's probably like 501-499 unless you're intentionally manipulating the thing.

This was a trap, wasn't it?

Navy has quotas that favors engineers followed by general STEM for ROTC and Academy applicants. There is also no biology major available from the Naval Academy, and I don't think there are undergraduate research opportunities available at the academy, though I could be mistaken.

Edit: generally, I tend to think we need more "tier-3" lit and history majors than what we have.

This is so weird. Did a biology professor kick the Navy's dog or something?

Anecdotally, an ensign I once explained it to said that, since every third midshipman really wants to be a health professional, they dont want to encourage even more people to join for college and five years to bounce to medical school.

This seems less likely to me than than the Academy has sciences because you have to have sciences, but what they really want to make is engineers, and biological engineering is too mew. Since only two numbered fleet commanders didnt graduate from the academy, I can promise you a lot of leadership have a class called "Biology for Naval Officers" on their transcript.
