seriously, we got a credit heist. yay. quit complaining.

So you want people to be ok with finding out that they have been lied to for an extended time?

How do you know they lied? See above as to how randomization and predetermined dates aren’t mutually exclusive.

The manual input disqualifies the concept of the event being random. They have complete control of when they do and when they do not want the event to run.

No it doesn’t. No moreso than posting the lottery results in a newspaper makes that non-random. Don’t be so obtusely cynical.

****. That's posted after the fact. In this scenario that would be like them sending a push notification "We had credit heist yesterday".

And regardless of it being random or not they obviously know ahead of time. So just put it on the calendar, or just set a day each week. Telling us when it's going to be isn't going to hurt them. They just like playing this game with people on everything they do and it's annoying.

Unknowns are a necessary part of the game. If everything was perfectly predictable, there would be no mystery, no intrigue, no attraction, no fun.

Sure things we don't know can irritate us, but they are still drawing our attention and focus... they are attracting our attention and focus... they are attractive.

The things you are complaining about are the very elements that make anything hold our attention for long periods of time. Do people watch laundry spin over and over? No, because it is predictable.

The mere fact that you are so worked up about not knowing just shows how important a tool it is in maintaining interest.

It's not about random vs. not. It's about them knowing and you not knowing. Well them knowing ahead of time doesn't make it not random, and not telling us doesn't make them liars.
