Okay.... Up your asses which random production. I do have a suggestion; however.
I like the idea of voting for production times, but instead up voting for "days" that are divided evenly every six hours how about this:
There are four blocks for production. Each person can vote for a time in each block. I would vote something like this.
Block 1 6:00am - I log on before I go to work!
Block 2 11:00am - My lunch is 11:00-12:00
Block 3 6:oopm - Whatever
Block 4 10:00pm I like to go to bed at ten, and do not like getting up to play!
Each block would offer 6 times, and RANDOM!
What do you think?

I think that means you're asking Rast to write a script capable of taking input and automatically editing cron jobs based on that. I haven't dabbled all that much in Linux, but I suspect that's more difficult, or at least more complex than anything else this game does so far. Not to underestimate Rast's l33tness, i'm just sayin' I wouldn't want to be doing that.
Your chosen times of production are definately better then they currently are.

It would not be any harder then the Production Time Vote that is up. We are already voting on all sorts of possible production times. The only difference is in my suggested vote the time between votes could be less then 6 hrs.

holy crap.. nanich's idea sounds kind of cool, except that it assumes everyone is in his time zone. Can someone explain it again for me?

So basically you're saying production should happen, all four for the whole day, within one small block of hours? You're crazy..  |

I think he's saying that there should be 4 different production blocks a day, and that time keeping would be a separate vote for each time block (ie, you could have the 6-12 voted to occur at 8, while the following block would be completely random).

Yes, I think that's what he's saying.

Yeah that is exactly what I am saying. Each of the blocks would have its own vote selection. This would allow people to vote of course, and perhaps the outcome would be closer productions during the day. Then the productions in the evening would be spaced out more then we can sleep!

Not everyone's evening is at the same time. I don't want this game to be even more biased towards Canadian/American time zones than it already is.

I think production should happen anywhere between 12 hour blocks... whenever you push the production button. (Bankable for 2 Production blocks) That way, you would have production, or two productions every time you log in... (Or yanno, that would totally change the face of the game... so sign me up for the bish camp and give me random production.  ) |

That's an interesting idea. How would it apply to idles, though? And if you were getting tithed your ass off, you could just not let any production happen until the end of your vassalage, to spite your conqueror.
