True enough. People could change dates. That would mean they would have to have something in place so the clients must check that they are in the same event phase in order to connect. People would change clocks, definitely. Animal Crossing DS kind of gets away with it due to not allowing folks to participate in seasonal event missions. Of course, you can somehow trade away event-specific items since there's no restriction outside of when you can get them yourself.
Of course, if it is simply the missions themselves that are locked away, that's probably something they could handle, kind of like the PSP version. (That is, what it does when you try to multiplay a download mission against someone who hasn't received that download).
Still, time-based easter eggs or drops would've been a nice little touch. Fortunately, we have a good amount of oddities and rare occurrences that do happen in this game. I have yet to run into any confectionary locations such as the pizza or cake shop.
