Problem description:
Basically I am making a generator of sorts, stuff to do when bored in Space Station 13. The only problem is that I amn't the best coder in the world, not even in my house, and I'm the only coder there.
I believe that I have formatted everything right, but that nasty little window on the bottom of the screen tells me the message we all hate...

"loading Gimmick Generator beta.dme
Boredthing.dm:25:error: Generate: invalid proc definition
Gimmick Generator beta.dmb - 1 error, 0 warnings"
*shudders*

Help, please?

You forgot the () after Generate... should be Generate()
Aug 20 2014, 7:09 am
You forgot parentheses.

verb
        Generate

should be

verb
        Generate()

There are way more efficient ways to get what you are trying to do in Generate(); I recommend you look up pick(): 
var/comment = pick(list("steal", "make the shift suck for", ...))
var/ncomment = pick(list("The Captain", "The HoP", ...))
world << "[ncomment] [comment]"

Also rand doesn't work like that, you have to use commas.
