How will random events be chosen?


Just to touch on this:

Random events generally never blow over well, because while they can be seen as realistic, it could easily be seen as a form of godmodding. They also come off as a feature more commonly seen in stat-based NRPs, which this NRP is not .

Alright, so letting everyone know that I'm still in the game.ASTA, Werhner, and I to assume that our mutual plotlines are still more or less intact?Also, I'll need to polish up my NS, but as you can tell so far, the military's mostly done -- it centers around a powerful navy as well as anti-siege defenses on land. The army proper is small and likely equipped mostly with arrows or other light weapons that are useful on the rough terrain found on certain regions of the Empire (especially the borders).


Yup.

Since the GM has a nation, it would probably be best if we had a chatzy rollbot or something else so we could all see.

No, random events are always poorly handled and never work out correctly.

Quit trying to start an argument. Random events have been used effectively plenty of times as long is there is a system in place for them. It keeps the thread alive by giving everyone something to react to.

Go back to your hole, you silly little hypocrite you. Random events are terrible, and always have been, and it's not just me who believes this.

Notice, that I'm not the one to provoke these arguments, and I've already made this point known to both Hazmat and Grave.

Wow. Just kinda passed out in the sun there...

Alf, Boerd, PM.

Random events can be bad things - barbarians attack, bad harvest, floods, things like that - but they can also be good things - rare ores uncovered, bountiful harvest, the capture of a highly wanted criminal - and they test a leader's ability to control the country. But, as always, I am open to suggestions and ideas.

I'll edit the list now. Anyone in the list can post IC whenever they want.

I am not open to Random Events at all, as that takes away significant story elements that normally the players are in control of. More often than not, these events are used very poorly by the GM to make what they call "Story potential" with other players that usually ends up with one person being at a significant disadvantage to the other nation.

I think that depends on what the events are and how they're deployed.
