Do you prefer multi-character tasks to single character tasks?

I dislike them. I don't like to have a certain time period be unavailable to a character unless some other character(s) are also available. It's incredibly irksome, actually. What if the other character is busy? What if they have stuff to do? Guess the poor dual-task-bound character is just out of luck on filling that time, they'll have to do a far less convenient task, that will finish while I'm sleeping or before class is over. Bah. No, I really don't like them.

    Whilst I agree with neuroheart in that is can be annoying if the other character is busy, I do like most of the outside ones.

    Banner shaking down Flanders, Suzanne zapping Homer and Maude shooting for revengs are some of my favourites.

    Indoor ones (eg Babysit Rod & Todd) are just plain annoying though.

    Right now Banner is my only character not looping on 8 hour tasks because Flanders is off earning me gift cards and Banner has no 8 hour task without him.

    I love them, if they are outdoors.

    Homer does seem to have an awful lot of them: First 8 hours with Maude, then 12 hours with Suzanne, now 4 hours with the Grumple. And once we get Uter, there will have to be a 1-hour one, as well (Chase Uter aka Uter running despite being full of chocolate).

    I actually do like them too (when they are outdoor with animatiins even more).

    Its more of a real world when they interact with each other. I could get way more of them (especially for 1h)

    I just can't stop sending Burns and Smithers on the Money Fight! task. I'm also repeatedly sending Flanders to snowmobile with the boys because it's his only card-earning task and, let's face it: the boys have pretty lame tasks available anyway.

    But having said that, in general I don't like the multi-character tasks because they tie up two (or more) characters yet only pay out the equivalent of a one character task.

    I just checked smithers exercising for burns and they pay 140$ and 34xp. So at least for these two you get the full payment :)

    I voted no because it takes away options from me. If they had 2 versions of a task than I wouldn't mind, but getting stuck with having to need 2 characters for certain tasks is annoying and tiresome to me.
