Default Re: Maybe there isn\'t a limit of three random even

I'm pretty certain that I've seen more than three events per turn, and I don't see any mechanical reason why there should be an arbitrative limit. From what I can tell about the way in which the game's code and, specifically, tables, are set up, it's more likely that more events become less and less common based on a diminishing percentile, probably ending somewhere around 5-7 due to attrition.

Now, to indulge myself as to the language debate: yes, the "times" are such that illiteracy and half-literacy are becoming more and more ubiquitous. Is that a good thing? Obviously, at some point, someone undertook a lot of effort to teach you what all these symbols mean. The "times" seem to dictate that this effort to advance your appreciation of life beyond the average impoverished third worlder go unappreciated, and that the language by which we communicate and share in the global community, and which is our greatest direct link to the past, go unrespected. Education, especially where literacy is concerned, is one of the few areas in which we've failed to advance beyond, and infact have fallen behind, the turn of the century (when we had 90% literacy in this country).
