If I have a favor available to try for and don't take it, instead starting a new case -- does the opportunity go away, and my cases-needed for a favor resets at 3? or 4? (can't remember which).

I know I could easily find out for myself, but I don't want to miss out on a favor just to figure out how it works.

the favor will remain there until you do it, unless you leave town. Then it will disappear. Or, I guess, as woody said, if you do more than 2 cases after a fav is available, you will lose it. I wasnt aware of that...I thought the favor remained there, until u did it,no matter how many cases u did. (unless u leave town) I know I had a Barber favor that stayed there forever, until I did it. Maybe Im misunderstanding you? lol thats possible :)

I think what Woody was saying Reese was that if you do more than two cases while having a favor waiting, they won't count toward your next favor. You'll still have the "butcher", in this case.

Ellsworth, you understand it just right. ;)

Ohhhh ok....guess it wasnt computing for me at the time I was first reading it :)

Second question on same topic.

What determines the difficulty level of your favor? Is it based purely on score, or is based on the number of successful favors? I would guess its the former, but from my own experience I can't tell.

Your favor level is based on how many favors you do. Your experience points are not a factor in favor level.

Oh.

Then I guess I better stop bailing on favors.

Thanks.

But don;t worry Ellsworth, the favors top out at the IH level.
