That's the idea, it could also be summarized easily like this, as part of one big "NOT" condition
Yeah, that's true. I'm new to event-writing, so you'll have to forgive some odd syntax.
Anyway, here's some events for the Watermelon Riot (or War, depending how it goes) for everyone's consideration:

The prospectors were also frequently drunk and often armed. One such traveler took a piece of fruit from a vendor in Colon and refused to pay. The crowd took sides, and a riot broke out, and men on both sides were killed. American lives and property were lost. Should we demand compensation from Colombia?"
