-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- 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.
