I love this. I too thought it was a letter to Tommy. ;)

I agree with this! Tom needs to be turn-based, not time-based!
These posts cracked me up lol. I'm in accordance with the previous views, that we need to get more uses out of tom when he is hired. Whether that's giving us a number of turns or reducing the napping time, either way, I think the consensus again is that we would like more runs or uses out of tom.
Oh and as punishment, when he gets me something, I don't collect it right away, I make him stand until his next trip (muawhaha), that'll teach him to be lazy on my farm hehe
I don't know if anyone has pointed this out but Tom reminds me of the literary character, Tom Sawyer, and I'm willing to bet that SC was "inspired" by Sawyer...for anyone who's read the books, you'll know that our lazy, swindler-esq Tom strongly parallels the mischievous Tom from the Twain novels lol, even right down to his worn out overalls....good one SC:rolleyes:.
Yup, i make him stand there until the next 2 hours. When I use him, I usually have a feel for when he becomes available again, that's when I click the goods he brought me, and send him back out. If I estimate wrong, it's usually only about 30 mins or so that he lays down and then he's back up again. Even this way, for me it makes his wait time feel shorter even though it's not. This also helps me sometimes when my barn is a little cramp, I get the time to sell some stuff before collecting, and before his next trip
