Is there a limit (like, 3) to the numbers of favors that can be played daily? I played all my cases + a few left by friends in my agency, but after three of those I didn't get a favor.
Have I missed something? Or do only one's own started cases count towards favors?

Is this calculation secret Ben? Actually, I'm curious about most of the 'formulas' being used, and cannot see any real way to 'game' the system if they were known, so I'd love to see them/hear about them, etc. :)

Everytime you successfully complete a fourth case, the system will unlock a favor for you. Favors count towards that 4 successful completion count. Pretty simple, but not entirely obvious.

While were at it...
Does it have to be four cases in a row? (I suppose not)
What happens to the unlocked favours if the active one if not solved? Do they pile up or do you have to get another four?

They do not pile up. You can't get a new favor until you start the one that is already unlocked.

Thanks Admin.. that's cool to know.

Jun-24-2004 16:28

Hmm... Is it really every 4? I thought it was every 3...

Jun-24-2004 16:45

so did i

You guys didn't read very carefully. It's every 4, but successfully completing your last favor counts as one of those 4.

Jun-24-2004 22:12

Oh, I see. So this means that if you fail to complete the favor, you will need 4 more regular cases instead of 3.

Thanks for answering, Mr Admin! At least I hadn't dreamed ;-)
