Do you get asked to do a favour every new day, or are there requirements for that day that you have to pass.
I don't seem to get asked to do a favour if i falsely accuse or if i don't manage to solve two cases that day. Is this correct, or is was it just chance?

From what I understand you get to do a favor every 3-4 cases solved. So a fasle accusation means you didn't solve the case. Also, I usually have to ask if I can do the favor before getting one.

umm sorry to but-in but you need to solve 4 cases to get a favour, there can be as many quits in between. The favour itself, counts as 1 so every favour completed correctly means 3 cases left to solve before the next 1.
The pattern is basically the same if you have a favour "waiting" but a little more confusing as if you solve more than 2 cases then once the favour is complete you willl have effectively "gone over" the next favour leaving the normal number left to be solved (don't worry too much about this last bit any newbies)

I think Iain is thinking in 'daily' terms because Unsub'd player only get 3 cases. So if you do your three cases successfully, you would expect to get a favor.

Now the actual count, as Croesy points out, is four cases (with the favor you solve counting as one). So on day one, you solve 3 cases and a favor, you have actually solved 4 cases, and the next day, you're ready to repeat that.

But if you have to quit or false accuse, you have actually only solved 3 cases and the next day, you will need to solve one more before you can get your next favor.
Of course if you subscribe you get 10 cases a day (plus 3 or more favors if you do them all...)so the 'daily' pattern stops tracking the 3 +1.
