Random Events

Overview
About once a day, each town rolls to see if they are going to experience a random event. Most events have a small (about 5%) chance of occurring. When a random event occurs, each player in the town will be notified via a chat message. Depending on the random event, some player action may be requested. Each random event lasts for a certain amount of time (usually a couple days). Players who log in will be notified if their town is experiencing a random event. You can also check by using the '/town event' command to re-read the details of any active event on your town.

Towns can only experience a single random event at a time.

Possible Events
Each event falls under a kind of 'category'. Some events are positive, some negative, some are nuances, and others are opportunities.
