There may be something going on that the PC's hear a rumor about and decide not to check out. I just make a few notes about the course of events and lay out a rough timeline. It helps the world feel less static if the players decide to get involved at a later date.  Having events transpire and the situation change despite the players direct involvement helps to make the game world a more dynamic place. Ultimately, the game world exists for the benifit of the PC's. In order to get the players to have thier characters behave as if this was not a known fact they need to understand that the world keeps moving with or without them taking action.</blockquote>
