Rube doesn't want to trade "too soon"?

Maybe I am hallucinating, but I thought before, you could call the Rube once a day by using an essence of rubeweed, regardless of how long it's been since the last time you traded. I just traded with him at the end of one day, then tried to imbibe the essence after the new day started, but the option is greyed out and the text above it says "You've recently traded with the Rube. Don't wear out your welcome!" 

Is this new? I swear I've done this in the past and didn't get the "don't wear out your welcome" message...

  • There's always been a buffer of a few gameday hours in between calls - I don't remember how long (not too long) but it does prevent calling him instantly before & then after new day.

  • Two days ago I called up Rube at the end of the day and called him up again at the beginning of the next day and they surrounded me I thought they were gonna kill me so I started running, now you wouldn't believe me if I told you, but I could run like the wind blows, from that day on if I was going somewhere I was running!

  • Yetio-I called him last nite 5 mins before new day and then again at new day with no problem.  Don't know if that 5 mins is the "buffer" or if its something new...

  • This isn't new, I remember I had to wait for 1-2 hours if last trade with Rube was right before the end of game day.

  • Soupie, I know I've done the same thing before. I wonder if it only happens if you accept one of his trades?

  • can't comment on the debuff times. But, he comes much more frequently when I refuse all of his trades.

  • Yeti/Boaz--that might be it. I only accept trades for a doll so he doesn't get a "Yes" very often! :D
