I just started a new game as Japan. While waiting for machine parts to become available, I had absolutely nothing to do but watch the message log, and I noticed a couple of things that seemed a bit odd.

First of all, the French Election of 1848. There are two events for the election, Cavaignac Wins The Election and Louis Napoleon Wins The Election. In both this game and my last one, they both fired up - Cavaignac first, then Louis Napoleon a couple of weeks later. What were they doing - having a recount? :D I thought these events were supposed to be mutually exclusive?

Then the Gadsen Purchase event for the USA fired up twice. First time, they made the offer but Mexico refused, the second time they didn't make the offer. Is this WAD? I thought this event was only supposed to fire up once.

They're supposed to be completely exclusive. But, whilst the Louis Napoleon Wins event puts the Cavaignac Wins event to sleep (and the Cavaignac Wins event has a trigger condition ensuring it won't fire if the Louis Napoleon Wins event has fired), there isn't anything in the trigger conditions or event commands to prevent Louis Napoleon winning the election after Cavaignac has won it.

Then the Gadsen Purchase event for the USA fired up twice. First time, they made the offer but Mexico refused, the second time they didn't make the offer. Is this WAD? I thought this event was only supposed to fire up once.
There are two Gadsden purchase events: one fires is the USA has positive relations with Mexico, and one fires if the USA has negative relations with Mexico. Thus, both events fired in your game.

Ok... So this is definitely a bug.
