Global and Personal Events (Kroah 4.4.3, 4.6)

[piete]

I have definitely seen the same player events happen multiple times in a single game... and I kinda remember that being true of the original, too.

So I think rule one, "... cannot have occurred before, to anyone." actually needs "... this turn." appended.

Perhaps - just going by the letter of the document at this point - although I'm sure I can ask Kroah what he meant by that statement. If someone can confirm they saw (in the C64 or Atari version) the same player event happen multiple times in a game, and whether a player could encounter the same event twice, please reply.

I am playing an Atari emu game, on round 5, only I produced 2 food units, cpus none and the store had none. On round 6, EACH (3) of the cpus got the package (and I had to clean my solar collectors ). I don't remember this happening ever before.

I have played on c64, and this is my experience.

1) the same personal event cannot repeat for the same PLAYER twice.  The same personal event can and will happen to different players.
2) the first place player CAN still get a good personal event on c64.
3) Mule goes crazy and pest attack only ever seemed to hit first place in my experience.  (it's why you should never be flapper!  Pest attack is ludicrously common on turn 1 on c64 (over 75% of the time on tournament mode), and if you are flapper it WILL hit you every single time, and the computer WILL buy out the store, and you will not be able to place a mule turn 2 or get any food, and you have lost all hope, since you won't get the care package cuz you are in first place still.)
