I am resolved to only checking the postings each morning. Then I can go back a day and take whatever I chose to take because

[1] I know I am past the 3 and the 12 hour.... maybe even the 24 hour

[2] I can choose from a wider selection of goodies, and help the neighbors I favor

[3] I can spend the rest of day looking for new farms, new levels etc.\

But even more, I just *love* watching folks around here getting their shorts all in a knot over basically no big deal. Best sideshow in town!!! I mean, you can just ignore it - don't request it, hide the requests from others if you want. Good Lord, when did this become life and death?! You folks crack me up!!!!

I agree!!! LOL

Keep the ongoing bonuses that each level already gives you (i.e. x% chance of additional crates when you harvest). That's it. End of story.

I'd be happy with that! The current way most of the time I get nothing, as all my friends have accidentally used up their allowance on other things.

When I click on something it says "added to your storage" not to your gift box for the belts.
What does go to the gift box is when you click on a request for a product from someone.

so, let me understand this better. I clicked on a dan bonus of a neighbor, and was told I had already gotten up to my one million, the last one I clicked on was yesterday, guess what I want to know is what is included the million? facility turnover, things sold at the market or when neighbors click on your bonus? 3 people clicked on my post, today. I now have to wait 12 hrs to receive anything else, is this the way it works. so far I like the 12 hr time, I'm selective in what I post as not to fill up my neighbors walls.

We're awaiting a list

I do not care for the maddening popups. I would appreciate a way to turn the belts OFF. Thanks.

No it isn't the same for each item. So far no one has come up with a chart of the amount required for each item or a formula to figure it out.
If you hire someone to harvest only your belts go up. The worker just gets what they normally get. If you do your own work then yes your belts go up.

Like the belts & dan awards, makes the game more interesting & farmer friendly. Also the client facilities were a great addition now that the refer feature is working. Would like to be able to have more than one of the same type of facility on a farm. Ready for more Farms. Great Game!!!!!

I know I am not at my 1,000,000 limit because I just accepted 2,412 pine logs from someone.

Jas, I don't see anywhere that it says how much you will get for each bonus except on the publish screen when you post it. Maybe the level of bonus does not go any higher than the black belt level. I just sent out a 4th Dan and I also am getting only 740 onions as per the post. How are you calculating for the 2,472?
For the Brown belt in pine logs I just got 3060 logs. Was yours a black belt and did the amount go down instead of up?
