In “Random Generators” replace “The results of the Dice Roller are considered to be sufficiently random to meet the purposes of the game.” with “The Dice Roller is considered fulfill the uniform probability distribution requirements to meet the purposes of the game. Additionally, when using a private random generation method, it is enough that the City performing the selection holds a genuine belief that their random selection method is uniform”
I feel like the new rules could allow you to take something like “Add one instance of a randomly-selected Raw Resource to its Warehouse”, roll whatever you want, and claim the result is sufficiently random.
Rather than focusing on the results, the intent of this is to focus on the execution and say the dice roller uses a uniform probability distribution, even if it doesn’t. And also give private generators a clause incase we discover that say, Excel also isn’t uniformly random
(still don’t think any of this is necessary, but as people wanted this change rather fix it than remove)
