Plus there was the protest yoo, so maybe that's what caused the slowdown? Some people shut down their shops from Friday.
I've been thinking about this. While this seems to be true for parts, it doesn't seem to be true for goal requests, since it appears that as soon as you have received the required number of the goal item it disappears off your neighbour's pending requests. I checked that today and realised that's what happens. So if i need 10 roses and i send out a request to 15 neighbours, once i get the 10 roses the other 5 neighbours won't see my request any more.
Now if this is the case, then what on earth is causing the delay? And why are neighbours not seeing the requests when they do go out?
