Just an Idea, but would it be possible to make it so when you do a favor there would be a way to choose wich hunt you want it to apply towards?

I don't mean to be able to choose the favor itself, but if , for example, you are doing 3 hunts and they all are stuck on the Banker, that after doing a banker favor you could choose which of the 3 hunts you want to advance on.

It is a little frustrating when you only need 1 favor to finish a hunt, but the last favor you need gets applied to a different hunt that you are just starting.

Pros/cons?

I agree with that!! In fact how does that work? I absoultely get so frustrated when I'm sure that we will win a hunt and we get booted to another hunt. Not sour grapes just wonderin'.

This has come up before, and I still say a resounding YES!

We have lost many a hunt due to this!

The favor seems to be automatically applied to the hunt that was opened first or needed that favor first (someone out there knows this for sure, but I haven't kept track).

It would be MUCH more realistic to pick the hunt you wanted and mention that one to the townsperson specifically - why mention the hunt you were less interested in?

And it would still be possible to make the wrong choice....but it would be nice to have some say in the choice, nonetheless.

The favor goes to the first hunt that was on the board that you need that favor for. However my suggestion is this. We should pick the hunt that we need the favor in, and what you do is have 3 check boxes hunt 1,2,or,3 Ssy you had more done in hunt 3 and you needed the Shoe Maker you got the shoe maker favor and completed it after the favor is solved you get a question which hunt would you like to apply this to 1,2,or 3 You check the 3 hunts box and hit apply favor.

sounds good to me. Skyler you rock!!

Exactly!!!

I pictured something like:

Now that you did a favor for the (insert name here) You felt it would be a good time to ask if he had any information on one of the lost treasures that had been reported in the city news recently.

*ask about the lost pinky toe ring of the midget pachyderms*

*ask about the lost fur coat of the aggresive codfish*

*ask about the missing sunglasses of the mayors gecko*

You could even make it a little tricky by putting all the active hunts there, even if the favor won't apply to that hunt. If you pick the wrong one, he/she just says they don't know anything.

or beter yet if you apply the favor to the wrong hunt you make it a false accuation.
