My wife is SUCH a gamer...

When students in her class don't mark which test questions are the ones they want to count as bonus questions she gets out her d% and rolls randomly to determine which ones are the bonus questions.

I like the idea of that. I'm keeping a d% in my desk.

Glad to help! And so is Ariel!

Her name is Ariel? She was practically born to be a gamer the d% is pretty cool. My physics teacher gamed with us, and he always kept dice around for similar emergencies.

Heh. Teaching chemistry to freshmen last semester, I used a pair of d10s to assign unknowns to them randomly. Some of the looks I got were priceless.

Or a little mermaid. My wife is such a NON-gamer. I still have hope that if I can convince her to play again we'll get the perfect game for her that catches her interest, but both of those conditionals are fairly unlikely.

Although I'm thinking about falling back on the "I'll go grocery shopping with you if you game with me" position; you never know.

Ha! No, Ariel's her screen name. Her real name is...well, she can tell you that if she wants.

Somehow that sounds a little like you only know her screen name...

Only joking of course. I just think it's funny that people think "hey, this is this person's real name", while on a internet message board with all kind of strange names... and, frankly, that's exactly what I thought.
