I've completed more than 160 IH favors in a row in hopes of receiving a specific favor reward, without luck.
There are how many possible items? And the odds of not receiving a specific item for more than 160 favors in a row? I think I have a vague answer for this, and it starts by putting a few zeros right of the decimal point.
Anyone else have this happen? Can you beat my record? Is this the result of some algorithmic hiccup? I wrote to Ben to see if it might be a glitch (even though I felt a little ridiculous doing so), and haven't heard back.
How many skill points for "patience" ?

More likely just the luck of the draw. The server goes through certain runs of luck from time to time. Some times, one can't unclam a suspect no matter how hard one bats one's eyelashes, or smacks their kneecaps. Others you can't get a particular item (you're currently in that scenario ;-) no matter how hard you try. Unfortunately, the server determines these trials, and we poor mortals have very little influence over it. There's also no way of knowing when the current run of 'luck' will change. Just keep going. All I (and others) can tell you, is eventually, it WILL change. (Though for good or bad, is again, another kettle of fish. Oops. ;-)
Good luck!!
