Module:BassaridianDailyEvents

Documentation for this module may be created at Module:BassaridianDailyEvents/doc

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- Module: DailyTable
-- Purpose:
--   1) Preserve exactly 12 city descriptions (verbatim) in a bracket-leveled
--      comment, with no omission or summary.
--   2) Re-write the city event texts so each is serious enough to possibly need
--      military intervention.
--   3) 60% chance of "No reports", else pick an event at random.
--   4) Produce a daily-updating wikitext table with columns:
--      Date, City, Event, Urgency.
