Player may be completely unaware of the events until much later, requiring chance (or metagaming) to actually encounter them normally. The event's effects or the lack thereof may or will be noticed by the player later on.

Limitations:
* Strategy games not entirely story-driven have this by nature and should therefore not normally be tagged.
