Likewise with returning visits and performing whichever task all the different games have (tipping/playing/helping/partying/touring/watering/etc.), for the same reason: Mathematically impossible due to sheer volume of neighbors and limited microseconds in a day. So those won't happen, you can bet on that.
I mentioned above that I don't know if a real person or a program does the request accepting, since it doesn't happen right away, but taking the amount of neighbors into account, I can only guess that if a real person does it, they're sitting there all day every day just hitting Accept, never reaching the end of the list, because it will never actually end, so I'm betting on some kind of auto-accept program that accepts requests as they come in.
Which gets me thinking... An auto-gift-return might not be as feasible as once thought. Stormie usually never takes more than a few hours to accept a part request, but if it's taking his program that long to run through all the ones ahead of mine... then to add gifting to Stormie's workload would push my requests out even further when the gifting program sucked some of the bandwidth away from the request program, and gifts would take even longer since that would include EVERYONE, not just those who'd requested something, and that list gets longer every day, so gifts would take even longer to get to you than requests do, and then requests would start taking longer because of the lower bandwidth allotment, and so on and so forth...
I think I might have taken this to doomsday levels, but it made sense in my head. >.< I'm hitting the button anyway.
