The way that MG explained it to me was that if the program decided to
give you a Special Event, one is selected.  If the Event selected does
not make sense (i.e. - +1 Stealth to a char with no Stealth skill), then
another is selected.  This happens up to four times.  If an acceptable
Event is not selected, you don't get one.  It used to be that when this
happened, your main character's name printed with nothing below it.   This
may have changed.
