Generator Land: Navia Aut Caput

Title:
Navia aut Caput
Descriptor: dispute resolution facilitator
Button: FLIP

Background: Yellow Ledbetter. It's sort of colored like an old penny.
Format: one slot list of both sides of the coin

Total of Unique Results Possible: 2
I varied the style of the two words so that the generator wouldn't
appear to be stuck or broken. When there are only two possible
results coming up randomly, sometimes the same result will occur
several times in a row. This makes people frustrated because they think
the generator is broken or unfair.

Sample of Results:
'Tails'
HEADS
Heads
Tails
*TAILS*

Concept:
Title
is derived from an ancient game.

"Coin flipping was known to the Romans as navia aut caput ("ship or head"),
as some coins had a ship on one side and the head of the emperor on the other."
Coin flipping - Wikipedia

The descriptor names a way that coin flipping can be used.
The button means when you click the button, the result will be equal to flipping a coin.
The idea was to present an online coin flipping simulation.
This would have come in handy in undergrad statistics when we had to
flip a coin some implausible number of times and record the results.
