Fame/Infame

(edited out. Thanks for reading)

"Well personally I feel we need a fame/infame system, to show exactly how bad or good someone is in terms of #'s" On principle of this first line no. Fame and infamy is entirely IC and should never be numbered.

I see what your going for but I don't think it's really needed. Your character's reputation is already based on how long you rp with that character how much you rp with them doing good, bad, or both.

Kira basically said it. Fame and infamy should stay an IC thing. If you want your character to be known we have the Rising Star/Coming Storm and Wizard Saint/11 Sinners for that to help with.

Also Aces and GMs are known IC from the fame that comes with that.

yes but how well known are they? You can be existant for 1-2 ooc years rping them constantly, and do NOTHING with them to warrant fame, while on the other hand, maybe you did a lot and then it'd be able to show that you did.

How well known specifically is generally up to the rper. Something not even the most powerful mages are the most well known. Mirajane was an incredibly famous mage but Mystogan, a mage more or less her equal, was virtually unknown to the world. How famous you are is for you to roleplay.

I'm all for recognizing characters who've done a lot IC but putting numerical ranks on glory is the wrong way about it.

and hence why this was just a suggestion, cause as it stands now, the only way you're 'known' is if you say you are. I.e I can say my D-rank character is super well known cause I want them to be. Just an idea. Thanks for reading it none the less. Guess this can be locked now seeing as everyone disagrees with said idea.

I'll be the guy who will say; I see your point Raiza. It's not a horrible suggestion, while it is not needed, it would be a little nifty to keep track of it a bit more, not necessarily in a numerical way, but more missions should give reputation in towns and such cause I know some do. But I also think it should be up to the rp'er, cause some people can be famous just by being a model, and a D rank can be a great model.

oh dear god the amount of work this would create for the staff, this would require constant updating as well as the fact that a new system to gauge it would need to be made. While i like the idea of it, it adds another level of "I'm better than you" to the site and that is Ewww IMO XD. Great idea, hard to implement.

Nowadays widgets can do it all assuming you have the right algo :p

Rank alone or the such gives a "i'm better cause I can use better and will always be statistically better"


this could have been entirely controlled by the player, to simply add a number so people wouldn't need to check, while its modded by staff so people dont run around as a super famous D-rank that didn't do anything with their life ect... but at same time. Too many disliked the idea, hence why I shrugged it off. It was a nice thought out idea, just I guess it doesn't work for this kinda site.
