(VV) event bug

[Laffertytig]

just had "a generous noble event" where one character wants command of a legion which is commanded by his rival and is prepared to pay money for it.
however both the accept and reject options result in both characters losin loyalty which cant be right.

also, all of the government position replace events result in the populist faction gaining senators which also doesnt sound right.

The event You mention is the "9903", which eventually reads: "No choice will please everyone".

So, one character (the choice is up to the player) will invevitably lose loyalty (among other things). The event works as intended.

As for the last event You remark on, it was discussed and reported previously.

Thanks.

I had a long post here highlighting the exact mistakes in the event code and the correct fixes for them but that was eaten by a 'the server is too busy' page so I'll keep it short.

There are two issues in the event. Firstly, from what I can tell, for the character the donor requests to replace, the event looks for the donor's *friends*, instead of rivals. This is why the original poster got a loyalty reduction for both characters with option A - the loyalty reduction to a random friend of the character being replaced got assigned to the character requesting the replacement, since he was his friend.

Secondly, option B assigns a loyalty loss to the character which you were requested to, but declined, to replace. This should be a loyalty increase instead. The event correctly assigns a loyalty loss to the character requesting the replacement when option B is chosen.

Let's call the donor, picked by event 9902, "Jari" - He has at least a friend, and at least a rival as well as a moderate wealth. Most importantly, Jari is on the streets and wishes a position - He offers to provide some money to get the spot.

Option (a) meets His requests:

A rival of His: is sacked, loses loyalty and His friends lose loyalty as well. Jari, on the other hand, smiles - He got the job - He slips ten gold in Your pocket.

Now, You are absolutely right, option (a) should read:

			limit = {
			 	is_rival = FROM
				in_command = yes
				is_ruler = no
			}

... rather than its present form ("is_rival" rather than "is_friend").

Option (b) refuses to accomodate Jari, whose loyalty decreases. Jari's high placed friend, the one sponsoring the job swap, is also disappointed: His loyalty suffers, along with that of Jari. You pocketed His ten gold pieces, without abiding to His demands: "I am sure He did out of the goodness of His heart."

Option (b) doesn't target the character You were requested to replace (the rival) - but Jari's friend. Option (b) thus looks correct to me.

Do we agree on the above.

That sounds reasonable, yeah.
