I posted an update today. There are a bunch of little tweaks included and typos fixed. Some of the bigger changes:

* Fixed Double Father Bug in Random Mysteries
* Added two levels of difficulty
* Favors now go up to Incredibly Hard level for experienced players
* A bunch of new favor items were added
* Detectives are now automatically booted from agencies if they become retired
* High scores are now divided by detective age
* Fixed duplicate contact bug
* You are now allowed to use the detective shop while working on a case
* Session timeout from inactivity increased from 5 minutes to 15

Please post any comments or bugs specific to this update here.

Heh, I like it when you guys whine. Lets me know you care.

If a lot of people are interested in switching factions, I could look at adding some kind of voluntary action that will just completely reset your standing levels.

That would be kinda unrealistic though. Unless you were talking about going into the witness protection program or something.

I think that the decay makes a 'faction reset' option a little unnecessary.

Completely switching factions shouldn't be something you can do in a day; with the decay it seems like you could accomplish a switch in a week or so if you worked at it. That sounds reasonable enough...

One tweak that might make it a little better though is to go ahead and continue the decay towards zero for scores between -10 and 0. Leave the 0 to +10 as the only set that doesn't drift. I don't know how often it comes up since I haven't tracked it, but the opportunities to move ahead when you are negative seem to be pretty rare. (Maybe only 2 or 3 times a week?) As it is now, once you drift up to -10, it might take a month or more to get to +1.

Good idea. Although maybe split the difference and make -5 the cut-off. Or something.
