my island events arent happining its been 3 days without a island event!can you help me?

there was a thread about this somewhere. i believe i read that events happen every 24 hours of actual game play. i am not sure the exact definition of game play. does it include the time the game is off? does it include time game is paused? is it affected by half, regular, and double speed? perhaps those variables are why you have not seen an event.

another theory is perhaps the events are happening but you are not seeing them. perhaps they happen when the game is off.

If you're putting your game on pause frequently, this can happen. Right after you get an event, check your game log for an entry similar to this:
Thu Mar 12 09:56:38 2007: Triggering event in block 4. Current time is 432974, next event at 476174.
That is the time in seconds. Subtract the first number from the second number and divide by 3600, which gives the number of hours until the next event. Add those hours to the time stamp, and that will tell you when to expect the next one.

If the game is on pause when the event is due, then I'm afraid you miss it.

Wow, that explains it! bajantara, I take my hat off to you!

It's the pause penalty, unfortunately... still hoping that something can be done to let paused games "catch up" with at least the last due event, but not holding my breath

How on earth did you figure that out?

Easy.... LadyCFII explained it to me awhile back during VV1 days when I questioned my own lack of events, (and she's dealt with it in a VV2 post as well...) I'll get the link for you when I come back on later

thanks probely the puase penalty i have puased my game once or twice mabey three times.

Here's the VV2 link discussing it

Have you paused your game??

I think they said this had something to do with it
