doesn't make this fun for some players that want to actually get those records in the history...
Because entries in your history are sooooo important...

The fact that these events are spontaneous is what's supposed to be fun and interesting about them. There's never anything essential from them except a few lore tidbits which you can get from other people if you missed out. I really don't want to see things like this disappear because a few whiny people who have to have everything but can't be on for it complain.

Also, I call BS on that "disappear cuz they threw snowballs at it" thing.
