There's probably a happy medium. I can understand the idea of wanting things to be fun and surprising, and the other side of the coin which is 'if everyone has ALL the info and then has to WAIT for the log will they be annoyed by waiting and maybe lose momentum'.

In this case, there was just some stuff I had no concept of at all so didn't plan for, and some stuff where the information was vague enough that I wasn't sure how to plan for it so some of my plans were a little 'this MIGHT work DEPENDING how it looks on the log?'

If I'd had a clearer idea of the events going on I wouldn't necessarily have needed EVERY detail, but the fox wedding thing for example I just hadn't planned for at all because I couldn't conceptualise what exactly it was going to be like and I ended up largely not interacting with it after not planning to.
