Are events supposed to make the game more fun? I keep getting events that hurt my nation and it's really annoying, especially since I'm a relatively new player.
How many can you have at one time? I'd like to think that you can only get three at once (which is what I have) but is there a limit?
You get them when paying bills right - is there a certain percent chance? It seems the liklihood is going up I never got one my first 26 or so days but have now gotten 3 in the past 12 days. This does not bode well for my nation....
Any advice on how to avoid events or answers to those questions would be great. It seems really weird that it would be ideal to [i]avoid[/i] paying bills as much as possible to avoid events, but I think I'm going to have to do that to stop my nation from having earthquakes and floods or damaged highways.
Thanks!

Although it has been almost two years, the most recent information in the [url="http://www.cybernations.net/game_update_log.asp"]update log[/url] regarding event odds seems to be current:
[quote=7-2-2008]The frequency of receiving an event has been toned down. The odds of receiving an event drop to 7% after the first event, 3% after two events, and 0% after three events. Those nations with 4+ events since the re-release of events last month will have those events remain active in the game until they expire.[/quote]
In other words, the odds of you receiving a second or third event go down considerably, and a fourth event is impossible.
Not all events are bad, and many of them are good. Most of the bad events aren't [i]that[/i] bad if you choose wisely, but just as there are really good events, there are also rather bad ones to go with it. In the end, it's down to luck, and then choosing what's best for your nation over the next month.
