Revert would mean they turned greatly worn then went back to fairly worn.
As in if the idoc fell a revert would mean it went back up.
So is it a revert or just taking a while to turn?
They do seem to drag out to 6 days rather than 5 these days.
One stage can be 36 hours long according the IDOC FAQ over in the Homes and Castles forum.
Some of that info is outdated, but a lot of it is still good.
Most likely they refused to turn just because you were there, and you can just blame that on Karma.
I mean, if Karma can be blamed for putting a pure sweet innocent angel of a player like me in jail for saying the S word in gen chat, it can surely take the blame for annoying the hell out of you at a couple of idocs.
