haha...ill be working on an extension of the idea after it is passed off to voting and if it passes there then we will see
BTW- phoenix...Theres only been one post that said no and they didnt give any real reasons why...So can this be moved for it tobe voted on (not sure of the proper section...i wanna say development...)

Xavier will put up an idea not just based on a majority 'yes' vote from posters, but when the idea has received sufficient development to be put up for voting.
This idea is an improvement. You are improving the current farm system and will be put in the Improvements section then passed to voting from there at Phoenix's discretion.
Proposal: Have each farm have a slide bar that increases time and resource amounts for that amount of time.
Have you Checked the DNS and PSI lists in the Archives? Is this idea similar to one that has been previously suggested?
No, but I'm fairly sure it hasn't been. I apologize if there is.
Reason: Sometimes you are gone for irregular times. I want to have it customized so that if I am gone 5 hours and 37 minutes, I can set it for 8 hours and 37 minutes.
Details: Currently (if booty is researched) you have 8 options to farm with (5m, 10m, 20m, 40m, 90m, 180m, 240m, 480m).
Lets say I am gone for 7 hours. I now have the choice of having a dead time of an hour or being miserable for an hour.
If we had it customize-able we could set it directly to seven hours. I get my resources, I have no dead time, everyone wins.
The ratios would need to be figured by someone that does math well (I do, but the wiki is currently incorrect).
The minimum time will still be five minutes.
The booty research will remain the same until a sub idea is passed after this one goes to voting. The new Idea will do this: Make the farming max 8 hours as a base and the booty research be restored to giving 30% extra resources like the 1.26 worlds.
Visual Aids: None
Balance: N/A
Abuse Prevention: N/A
Summary: Have each farm have a slide bar that increases time and resource amounts for that amount of time.
These are the finalizations on the idea. Does this check out with everyone?

I don't recall seeing it, I can only guesstimate what it might be at best. What exactly are we trying to figure out? The resources over time bit, or something else?
5 mins loot@max level = 5 res. 8hr looting@max level = max resources. Get an equation and put in on a graph. Then when you slide your bar along the timeline, the curve will correspond to the resources that you will receive. I expect the equation to be quadratic. Also with the variables of farm levels and world speed included, so the curve will change accordingly with the farm level and graph. The demand function will be something divided by two. The math shouldn't be too hard. They will have to round off the amount to res. as I can easily anticipate that most of the time the resources will run into the decimal. Also for looting a formula for mood decrease will also be there. A continuous function whose values which correspond x hour looting will also be rounded off to integer value.
in pic: Looting @ speed 1 with max farm Village level- in black, Looting @ speed 1 with a little less farm village level -in PINK. Demanding @speed 1 with max fv level- in BROWN.
they are not accurate representations, just examples. The equations are all we really need.
EDIT: okay we really need the math for the farming villages to get this idea going. I am going to pull a few favours in from some old friends. I should have the math by sunday if not then monday.
I agree with you Pebble, but you should make that you'll have to research, then you can choose the time. Then you'll have to do more to get it. It's a very good privilege to have.
No, doing that would require a bit more effort on the devs part, re arranging the academy, and then we most likely would lose the chance of booty changing back to 30% more resources.
