Since playing this game I have only been able to get 6 island events in a game. How do you get 164. I noticed on the leaderboard people have over 100. How can you do that?

the game isn't over when you solve all of the puzzles. the longer you play the game, the more events you will have.

I have been playing for weekd bt for some reason I havent had an island event in 3 days. I havent been able to go into the game because I have been real sick. Someoe had said dont do the grave puzzle so I havent yet. I am playing 5 games at once I have only 8 island events. Any ideas.

Island Events occur only about once a day under ideal conditions, and may be far less frequent than that. If you don't open the game for a long time, you will only get one when you do turn it on again. They don't "stack up" while the game is off, and it's not unusual to go for several days without seeing one.

I'm not sure that I understand why you are avoiding the graveyard puzzle, though.

I have had weird pox out breaks two days in a row and on both games I am playing at the same time. What are the odds? Weird.

It's not all that unusual to see the same event in different games at nearly the same time. I experience that kind of thing frequently. \:\)

Thanks, I had never experienced it myself in a consecutive manner in two games. At least I know now that a strong breeze didn't sweep disease to my island next door.

I have played for 459 hours in total of my playing..
Then i had an event it was new.....
I think if you play longer you will get more events
I would like to find out how many hours you played please tell me
so i can find out how many more days until events arrive you and why this happens to you.

As LadyCFII says, events happen roughly once a day. However, if a game is not opened for several days, only one event will occur. So, if you start two games at once and check one game once a day or more often, you will get roughly five events in five days, but if you only check the second game every other day you will only get two or three events. That assumes all your villagers haven't died from neglect. ;\)

In addition, new games get two special events within a couple of hours of starting but I've excluded these.

I discovered VV about three months ago now. I remember that my very first event in my very first game caused a villager to wander off into the jungle, never to be seen again. I got the same event in my second game, but this time made the safe choice, benefitting from my unfortunate earlier experience. I've never had the event again.
