Admins can now:
Pause event start countdown.
Add/Remove events to rotation.
Affect the likelihood of events occurring.
Allow one shot events to fire again.
Alters the event controller based on http://baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10706.
Exception is that there is always some start time variance to prevent metagaming.
Mundane, moderate, and major events run on their own timers and start and run independantly of each other.
Multiple events of the same severity degree can run at the same time. However, currently only one instance of the same event can be active at a time.
As per request, events have been rebalanced to be a bit more even and vastly less appendicitis. Event timers have been increased from 15-25 minutes to 20-40 minutes.
The proc to get active playercounts was utterly broken, which led to there only being events that needed no specific requirements. Fixed, and made events more common(the only reason people were pissed about so many events was that only the annoying ones would spawn ever).
- Made goats/cows not give infinite milk but instead slowly generate milk in their udder for collecting.
- Lowered speak chance for chickens and added a limit for how many chickens can be bred.
- Lowered the chances of an egg to be a chicken hatching egg.
- If you put an egg in your pocket it won't be a chicken hatching egg anymore.
- Chickens won't spawn inside you anymore.
- Added some abstract classes to the list of things that shouldn't spawn with slime cores.
- Increased the time between events.
- Added a spawn spiders button for admins.

It now picks from a list of alerts with varying levels of fuckedup-ness, to try and better communicate the idea of unreliability when the crew do hear it.
Increased the time between events.
Updated cows so it's disarm intent to tip them over, and made chicks not offset off their turf.

= Giant Spiders =
- Nurses spin webs which impede progress, bundle items and mobs up in cocoons, lay eggs to create spiderlings
- Nurses are slow and weak, but their bite has a chance to paralyse the victim
- Spiderlings skitter about and eventually grow into giant spiders.
- Spiderlings will ventcrawl, so they can spread over the station pretty fast.
- Hunters are fast, have decent health and the most effective poison
- Guards are medium speed but the health and direct damage
- The poison of hunters and guards can cause hallucinations if they bite you
= Farm animals =
- Cows can be milked or butchered for a large supply of meat. Sadists can also tip them over (with intent_help).
- Goats can also be milked, but have a nasty temperament.
- Chicks grow up to be chickens, who lay eggs and continue the cycle. But where did it start? (they're very noisy).
- All three are orderable via QM.
My changes:
- Added a spider infestation event.
- Optimized code with spiders and simple_animals.
- Made a /hostile/retaliate type which will only fight back when hurt. Based on Cael's code.
- Added some farm animals on the map.
- Changed events, added a setup() proc which can let you setup variables or the event. Made the event only kill itself when it has called, announce(), start() and end().
- Brainrot will only need alkysine as a cure.
- Communication blackout will always be silent.
- Changed some admin buttons to use the new event system.
- Added a forceEvent proc which you can use when you enable debug verbs.

The old one still exists, mainly so the associated admin buttons still work.
At some point I'll add a nice little panel for event stuff and remove the old procs.
event.dm is pretty well commented, and it should be pretty easy to figure it out.
Casualties of the change are space dust (which should probably be implemented separately if we want it back), the black hole event (which was awful), space ninjas (which didn't turn up), ionstorms (the non-admin ones sucked anyway) and CLANG, which I will probably add at some point, if no one else does first.
Also, I removed pierott's throat from the disease outbreak list. f that s.
Thanks to Sukasa and BS12, as my system is loosely based off of theirs.
Thanks Giacom for help with structuring and especially commenting this.
