    Snake and even the graffiti and Sideshow Bob have nothing to so with it (though it should relate to it). Righteousness is completely random. Not sure if it's intentional or just poorly designed.

    Snake & Sideshow Bob I agree on, I think the graffiti has to play in some way since cleaning it up raises it. I almost feel like if you log in too frequently it will drop it like you are intending to make sure to clean the graffiti. Either that or it dives if a friend cleans up your graffiti. There has to be something in there that makes it dive, otherwise the social star or something should dive too. I noticed when I used to have 60 some friends during whacking day it would dive like once a week. Now that I cleaned up my list to less than 10, it barely drops; and I've also been logging in significantly less.

    Ive seen on here that a few people let Bob roam free to do what he wants and it doesnt affect them :? I never let Snake out of prison and yesterday my Righeousness fell down to 1star, i then went and graffiti some friends places and it went up to 2.5stars where as normally that doesnt work at all for me :?

    I think it just has a mind of its own, maybe it does it just to get you to visit friends towns? lol

    Mine has always seemed completely random too. I have stop signs scattered and hidden so I have 5 stars in righteousness. Sometimes I enter the game and have my usual 4 stars total. I clean up the graffiti on all 4 buildings then visit friends, return to my town and righteousness is down to 1 star (total stars drops to 3.5) even though there is no new graffiti or bob or anything. I have to wait until my buildings are tagged a few times again before I get my rating back.

    I agree that cleaning the graffiti fixes the rating, but I don't believe that leaving the graffiti is what causes it to go down.

    You have to clean others graffiti as well as yours. IF YOU LET someone else clean the graffiti in your town is reflects poorly on you. Having friends who vandalize less is best. Not letting graffiti sit for 6 hours is key. Catch bob and clean clean clean.

    I think updates may change it, unless it is just random. I've cleaned 1 graffiti mark in a friend's town, and it dropped my rating from 5 stars to 1/2.

    To give context to my regime.

    Snake lives in prison - on release is sent down for another 24hr stretch.
    I clean up graffiti in my town on 2 or 3 buildings 3 or 4 times a day.
    I graffiti other towns daily and clean graffiti also. For every 2 I graffiti I probably clean 5.
    I always catch Sideshow Bob immediately in my town and other peoples (although I have noticed some times his appearance in other towns is announced but sometimes it is not).

    Perhaps he is there in other towns without my knowledge and as a result goes free and my rating takes a nose dive...?
    :?: :?: :?:
    something is broken somewhere.

    During the day I'm running everyone on 4-hour tasks. That means Quimby and Wiggum are involved in shady operations, and Snake is sticking up unsuspecting drive-thru windows. I'm pretty sure those three factors contribute to my righteousness level dropping off. I visit friends' towns, spray two buildings then clean one up (go out and back in to the town), and that gets me back to five stars pretty quickly.
