Issue regarding Hermetic Society Gathering of the Minds event

[Richy]

As the title suggests, I'm running into an issue when in the Hermetic Society and want to hold the Gatehring of the Minds (where you invent inventions). After firing it the first time, I fired it again and again, for a total of 3 times on my very first character. Problem is, I'm a few generations further and even though I'm the top guy again, the event simply isn't popping up. I was wondering if there's some way to check in the savefile to see if something is borked or preventing me from launchign the event, just as it's the case with the Legendary Gathering of the warriors lodge. I found a fix for that one (in the workshop), but haven't managed to dig one up for Hermetic Society.

I've found the parameters a players should have in order for the event to be launched and as far as I know, I've ticked off all those boxes:

- Be top guy in society
- More than half of the members like me 40 or more
- Be at peace (I've passed that See the realm prosper ambition, so that's 5 years of straight peace)
- Not commanding an army or in any other way busy
- 10+ stats across the board
- Not bedridding, ill or incapable
- State of the art lab on Island is built

So is there any way of checkign what's preventing me from obtaining the event, as it should fire once every two years?

The paradox forums are your friend, that's all I can say. I'm having issues like this as well with the HS and would like these problems as well, Heres[forum.paradoxplaza.com] a link to the ck2 forums if you want to post something there.

There's a reason I posted it on here and not on the clusterfrick that are the Paradox forums. Saying 'go to this insanely useless place and post the exact same thing there after having made a useless account' isn't helping.

Could it just be bad luck? These society events only pop up once every 2 years.

Every other year you get the random society events and a couple days later you get a mission assigned to you. Keep in mind that this gathering of the minds events has to compete with other random events such as gaining a friend/rival, being low on ingredients, etc.

When I say once every 2 years, I mean that these conditions are evaluated during a single day every other year. (The month is random, but the day of the month is always the same.) So if you happen to be busy during that one particular day of the year (maybe holding a feast or summer fair), say goodbye to your event and your society mission.

Hmmm, it'd be one hell of a coïncidence to have that happen every 2 years for a full lifetime. I do the Thorem Paper Missiosn and the Gather Ingredients every single time I can, but I'm 100% sure I never do it on the exact same date as the previous times.

Well if Paradox doesn't care it won't change.

Same here, exact same conditions (although I have been at war often in the meantime, but with gaps of >2 years to rest my levies). I have been top dog of the Hermeutical society for over 20 years, and it never fired.

Frustrated, I was already looking into console commanding what should be happening automatically when it suddenly fired by itself! I am currently exploring its possibilities.

TL;DR we might have been unlucky or it might be a bug, but the event can still occur in v3.3.1.
