If you can only do 8 cases a day (so 56 a week), how come the people on the high scores board have done WAY more than that? I wondered if it was something to do with how agencies work, but I can't see it in the help file at all.

Thanks Greyling! I'll stop feeling jealous now and just wish that Ben would make it so that you could have a higher subscription level for more games. The idea that I have to wait until tomorrow for my next fix is KILLING me!

And thanks Majandra.

Technically yes it is about 10-11 cases per day, however, the favour cases don't count on the weekly score list - although they do count on the negative side if you quit or get them false :)

Dec-19-2004 12:27

Or maybe it has changed and they do count on the list of weekly solved cases (they didn't use to, though)?? - *lol* - starting to confuse myself here :D

I thought it was the Featured Cases that don't count if you flub.

Yes, the feature mysteries do NOT count if you get them wrong - but the favours do. However (and mind you this was the way it used to be, and since a bunch of things have changed, it might not work like this anymore, but like I said it used to be that way), the favour cases do(did) NOT count towards the "Cases Solved in Last 7 Days", although they do count towards "Quit Cases and False Accusations in Last 7 Days" :)

Oh. Gotcha.

how do anyone get to do a favor?

Dec-19-2004 19:46

You have to do 3 cases successfully. Then you have to ask a townsperson if they have a favor for you when you are NOT doing a case.

jojo, I think it's FOUR cases. So if you do a favor successfully, then do three /more/ cases, you'll earn another favor. But if you quit or get a false on that favor or any of the cases, then you'll need to do an extra.
