Those are so not random, 1 country got 3 negative random events inside 60 turns and 2 of those came inside 3 turns.

ELKronos: Patty is more hairy.

Gallery: K at least I am to my expectations now.

I flipped a coin and got heads five times in a row, maybe coin flips aren't so random

random isn't about being spread out evenly, because it wouldn't be random if it was.

Why doesn't anyone ever complain when they get multiple positive random events?

I get bad events mostly and oil boom or indy boom aren't that helpful if isn't indy or oiler.

While I played my countries I got earthquakes (1-2 buildings losses), workers strikes, drought and reduced taxes as bad events, good events were indy boom, oil boom, food boom but during 1st 120ish turns there were more bad events than good events. 1 country got missile but that I don't count to good or bad.

Was this in Alliance? In the last 100 turns yesterday (jumping as CI) I had 2 earthquakes, an indy strike, an indy boom, and two missiles. Random is random, but maybe there's something else going on? Does it maybe have something to do with the end of the set, maybe from not as many people running turns?

We expect and know that random events are eventually distributed across all countries that play turns. We do not expect random events to be evenly distributed for a single day's worth of turns of one country or even for all of the turns that a single country plays.

There have been around 175 million turns played across all servers. Rare events are going to happen.
