I create a logfile of all the IO that they would have received if they
had been logged in. I also allow simple pattern searches (grep
actually) of that log for interesting items.
As this log can get large, I currently trim it to the last RL day.
The hope was that time travel would allow accounting for the rest.

Quite.

As I already support scripted behaviour for characters while logged
out, I can easily imagine such scripts inserting lines into the log to
be later preferentially extracted to create a potted summary of the
past events.
