Default [Basic] Skill of the week: Administration

Yawn? Maybe. Basic has it as "the skill of running a large organization" but it often seems to be vital for working inside a large organisation.

That seems to have started with the 1989 first edition of GURPS Special Ops where a half-point of Administration was required in just about all of the proto-templates in in that book. It was also the way to get hold of money from the service, which was sometime necessary, but never easy. GURPS WWII had it as a required skill for all NCOs and officers.

So it gets used as a kind of gateway skill. PC "OK, we need to get the office to do X, Y and Z by tomorrow." GM "Roll Administration ..."

Has anyone done anything more exciting with it?
