So now that we know the task is 3 days, and we have an understanding that it might start at some point related to the +request be it when the rolls start, or when the request went it, and the person needs "three days" how do you decide if they work at a pace taking 3 actual days, and that they are busy with it for "three days", and when they are done that they have "three days" less? How do we track this time used? How about accounting for tasks that don't take +requests? And how much time can be devoted to it? Does having a team mate help reduce time?
My ideas were put to staff before, and not accepted. So, if things that have been said before aren't up for public exposure, discussion or review, you two should really hash this out among yourselves, or ask for input from players who haven't been heard.
