I got a second Hero mission tip drop but didn't activate it and still got the 1 Hero merit so I am leaning towards #2.
total kick to the gut
This is like having Ra's Al Ghul show up at your birthday party.
Everything is working as intended. The first time you affirm your alignment as a Hero or Villain, you get 50 reward merits instead of an alignment merit.

Yeah, not even close to his first run through as a hero.
[This character has actually gone full circle, since he's a praetorian born robotics/traps MM and I wanted Black Scorpion's patron powers on him. But he's been back as a hero since lvl 43 and has picked up about 600 million from Miracle uniques since then.]
Anyway, I ran the first set of tips last night in preparation of attempting to recreate the event. Hopefully I'll have the time tonight to run the next 5 tips and the 2 morality missions and we'll see what happens.

Hello, my name is Soulwind and I have Alt-Itis.
I can't speak to what is causing the error but I do know every time I get the save the bane spider hero mission it drops the other while I am on that mission. I have never as you did activated the other and they both go away once I complete the save the bane spider mission.
Doesn't seem to happen when I get the clear your name mission, though there is a lot less killin required to complete that one.
OK, so I had a strange result the other night and I wanted to get other folks thoughts/experiences before I log it as a bug.
I ran a Hero Alignment mission the other night. At the end, instead of getting my usual 1 Hero Merit, it gave me the 50 "normal" merits again.
A couple of factors:
This is a hero who has long since gained his alignment power.
This was NOT a change in alignment, and it was his 10th alignment mission.
It HAS been several weeks since he last ran a hero alignment mission.
During the run of the actual alignment mission, he got stomped on, and hospitaled.
While on the way back to the mission, I noticed that the other hero alignment mission
had dropped (he was doing the "one good spider" mission, and the other mission option
had dropped into his list).
Thinking to myself - hey self, I wonder if I can activate the other alignment mission too,
and do both. Now, I didn't expect that I could (I expected that the other alignment mission would be cleared out when I completed the first one - which it was)
But, instead of the normal hero merit, I got the 50 reward merits instead.
So now I'm wondering why.
Possible Conclusions:
1) There's some kind of timer on the alignment missions where if you go long enough between doing them it resets back to the 1st reward.
2) Having both alignment mission options active at the same time confused the system and it gave me the wrong reward.
3) ???? (profit?)
So, I haven't attempted to recreate it yet but I wanted to get some opinions from other folks to see if anyone else has had this happen.
Unless someone comes back with a "this is supposed to happen - its because of xxxxx" or a "it's an already known bug" type answer, then I'll attempt to recreate it and then log it as a bug if I manage to.
