rapture, events are at random and you will keep getting them. If you have plenty of food, you should be able to leave your game running when you are not at your computer with no problem. Makes it more interesting to see what they have accomplished in your absence.

Rapture, for the amount of time you've been playing that's about how many events you should have seen.

thanks, i think i have about 1250 food, i just dont want to leave them alone... i feel like if i leave it on when i sleep someone will die. i'm way too attached to this game!!! thanks for the reply guys!!

I had a typhoon hit and take out the food.

I've had parrots eat all the berries.

We get something that makes all the food moldy on a regular basis.

We had the face in the trees with the villager never to be seen from again.

I did have monkeys give us tech points.

We've found a black pearl twice, shared it, and all they did was dance.

One guy found a book, put it on the research table, and it disappeared.

I had another little girl find a book, so I made her read it and she became a doctor at 4. So, in a few more years that might be of use. LOL>

I just had the tightly wrapped crate, had a set of twins inside.

If you go backwards, you have a pretty good chance of hosing your game, not to mention the other potentially serious side-effects of adjusting your system clock all the time.

I have three games running right now. So far the events I've seen are (off the top of my head):
-Guy got a vial of blue liquid, drank it and became a Master Doctor
-Kid found a book, put it on the research table, and it disappeared
-Someone found a trunk with two little boys in it
-Someone found a trunk with rats in it that bit them and made them sick (they were able to be healed)
-Someone found a trunk with spiders in it that bit them and made them sick (they were also able to be healed)
-The dream in the cave - I took the path toward the growling and nothing really happened.
-A whale washed up on a sandbar and it was still alive - I chose to keep it alive until the tide came in and my village went from Level 1 to Level 2 of Spirtuality (that was a good one)

Those are the only ones I can remember. I wanna see some monkeys!!

i had a terrible event in one of my games. a typhoon washed away all the food!! i had more than a million food units. it was very uncool

Oh I had the typhoon as well... I was probably up to about 3k units, though, which was replenished pretty quickly with three people fishing, including two Master Farmers.
