Delhi has eaten a big slice of humble pie since trapping me there some weeks ago. Today, 3 cases and done. But shouldn't there always be a favour case waiting after you complete an AVH? At least, that has been my experience so far in Noir.

Today, immediately after finishing the AVH - no favour. I had to do one more case for the favour. No complaints but it just seems odd.

- Not very much related to Summer's updates, but I have an idea, I might be pushing too far, I am wondering what you'd be thinking about it. Here it is:

I know I haven't finished sufficient number of AVH's to generalize but I will:

- a 48 grand AVH prize = 10 IH favors and such an AVH would last 3 days in general, as far as I can see.
( I wonder whether the prices of awards increase as the duration of an AVH increases too-> 62 grand prizes: (for?)how long did the AVH's that won you these awards last?)

- 3 days complete makes 12 favors, assuming all other cases are solved.

If you finish your AVH in 3 days (full), you are short of 2 favors.

Try this if you haven't already: the game gives you 2 favor cases by 1 or 2 AI's in between, right after an AVH hunt.

This could as well be just a coincidence, I don't now, it just popped up in my mind a day ago and it needs to be tested.

In short, I think it is possible that the game adjusts when one's going to be having a favor, depending on how many cases one is ahead/behind on an AVH as compared to what would have been otherwise, but, not without taking into account one's success during the AVH, meaning if you completed an AVH in 3 days but could have as well completed it in 2.5 days, had you not quit a certain number of cases, the game calculates the supposed number of favor cases you should be solving after an AVH (or not solving thereof) taking into account successfully solved cases/all cases ratio).

If this were to be the case, then it would explain why you didn't have a favor case awaiting after your AVH, too. I think Ben's never random(and not like randomness is possible, too) with the game and I believe that if this is not what really happened then there must certainly be some other logic behind it which explains everything. Only, we don't know.
