Grautitous: even using the dice server, it is not possible to select
and announce simultaneously. It would be interesting as a precedent
to ask what sort of delays between selection and announcement make it
still a random process; for example if the herald performs game-relevant
actions between the selection and announcement, does it affect the
process? -G.
