''Gameplay events are initiated by specific real time events occurring.''

Games that update in direct relation to the passage of time can use this to start and stop specific events so there is a clear relation to identifiable events in the real world. By having the game [[Events Timed to the Real World]] in this way, players can have reminders of when extra-ordinary events happen in the game and thereby be encouraged to play then.
