events
also: @event, @events, event
What's happening out in the wilds right now. Usage: events the world event on now: what, where, how long it lasts events pin pin it on your world map (and open the map) Now and then something happens somewhere in the wilderness: a raider warband, a cargo plane down, the Elder Behemoth roaming, a supply drop, a raider convoy driving on the city, or a storm front crossing the land. It's announced on the News channel with where it is, and lasts 45 minutes. Whoever gets there first and finishes it (the boss down, or the prize in their hands) is named on News; everyone who fought a boss gets a bonus. Expect to need a vehicle: they're far out. Some move: the behemoth wanders, the storm front crosses the map, and the convoy heads for the city a square every two minutes (never while it's in a fight). The map pin follows them. Stop the convoy and its cargo floods the market: prices drop for an hour. Let it reach the city and it raids the supply lines: prices go up for an hour. The storm front holds its part of the world at a severe storm, so nothing flies near it: its storm core is for whoever gets there on the ground. Examples: events events pin
In the game, help events shows this too.
