Sorry, forgot the subject.
I was wondering about favors - if we have one in New York waiting in will cases solved in London give us another one waiting there? (The question is actually for each city, I just picked examples so I wouldn't sound like a math teacher with something like "city a".)

Oh, added question...
Was wondering if you will have like a contact for each city?

Andy, good question. I thought I could answer it, as I have done a couple favors in Delhi, but the more I think about it, the less certain I am that I left a favor behind in NYC. So I'll have to wait until someone else tells us or until I am back in the Big Apple...

In case anyone else was wondering - I know for a fact I have a favor in New York, and I just got one in London - so the answer to my question is yes. I can tell from the shops the favor didn't just move with me.

Tzu Hsin, I don't personally know the answer yet, but I don't see why we wouldn't get contacts in each city since everything I've read so far has implied we could (ex. - the expansion page says something like, "to be effective in other cities detectives must forge new relationships"), and it specifies the city the contact is in on the detective page.

Wasn't quite thinking straight there, I got an item for the favor, but I do know of detectives that have more than 2 contacts because of differant cities.

Hi again - hopefully this is the last time I correct this answer - I forgot what happened was a possibilty and posted while I was still in London. Real simple - I got back to New York, had a thought occur to me, waited until I had cases again, then checked - no favor left - the favor obviously changes cities with you.
(I am sure about the other part though, I know 2 detectives with 3 contacts because of the added cities.)

I have a favor waiting in new york but when I went to delhi no one said they have a favor for me. So I guess its wrong and the favor doesnt move with you. Wonder if the "old" favor waits in NY or did I just throw away the chance.

I had the same thing happen to me - you have to do the three cases to get a favor, but once you use either favor then both favors are gone. I know it sounds weird but that's how it works.

In your case if you do three cases in dehli and haven't done your new york favor yet, then it'll give you a favor in dehli and one in new york - but if you do either favor, both your dehli and new york favors will go away.

Either this is a bug and on the wrong thread, or the towns are like factions - help one and the rest resent it. :)

Bummer! I would vote for us to keep every favor we have earned. If I have one waiting back in New York, but I've done cases and earned and solved favors in Delhi, that shouldn't affect what I have waiting back home since I earned that with NY cases. (3 cases - one favor for each city). Seems fairest.

Also, you do indeed earn new contacts in your new cities, and they may or may not be the same as your old ones. I got one the same, Dogberta got one different (although she didn't have the option for same one in the new city). I'm guessing its random, who you get - just like when you started (and about as long).

bad news (and a very bad day) I couldnt solve any cases in delhi today, I had to quit them all cause of clamming so I didnt get any favor there. When I went back to NY the favor I had waiting was gone too. So if you have a favor, just do it.

I agree with bogdoc that it would be really nice to keep the favors, especially as you've "spent" three cases to earn it.

BUT I have to think it also makes some sense that if someone in NYC asks for a favor, and you leave town to head across the world to India, they might get someone else to help them out instead...
