MODERATORS
If you haven’t got any dice handy you can use random.org to generate the numbers for you. Or even select a set of words from the list
I would be very careful doing this. It is very easy to introduce significant bias. Humans are terrible at picking random numbers.
If you can't find dice I would recommend:
I meant use random.org select the words directly rather than go through the steps of getting numbers and then lookup.
I get the bias. A big weakness in the one time pads from WW2 was the word callers putting words back they thought were too frequent :)
Shameless self-plug: if you want something without Cloudflare in front of it dicewa.re is nice. Keep in mind though that in general it is not recommended to rely on random number generators as their source of randomness cannot be verified.
