Could fighting here shift Reputation to the right, since you're defeating anarchists? I've been trying for several nights to move from Honorable to Just, after getting from Virtuous to Honorable quite easily, mostly by using the Cube and the Streets of Downtown, interspersed with fighting here. Still stuck on Honorable. Just an idea.

April 18: Each hero now gets a "reputation" that can change depending on the choices they make. (Sorry, there's no "evil" reputation for heroes. Just different ways to fight crime.)

==Spading stuff==
Let's get this ball rolling!

matt the sort of superpowered vigilante (#9561) has honorable right now.
i also confiscated the cargo at the docks a couple times before accepting the black knight's challenge in the guild but it didn't change until then, so it might have been a combination of them, i know cheating the black knight lost honorable as matt the vigilante. [[User:Matt the vigilante|Matt the vigilante]]

I'm currently listed as Altruist. Don't know why (yet) --[[User:Lazyfire|Lazyfire]] 22:40, 18 April 2008 (MST)

Pseudoname-(Character ID #2444) I have Pragmatic, I chose the less heroic versions of the choices listed,I tried cheating against the pitch black knight, then I accepted bribes at the docks. I think I cheated about 3 or 4 times then switched to the docks. it changed after about the 3rd time i accepted a bribe.
Somebody said that cheating the knight 23 times did nothing so it might have just been the docks, or maybe those affected more or something
:* It could be a combination of things. IE: Chastity [#14101] fought the knight with honor 28 times. Is a fresh character, so not tainted with any past encounters. Did not have a chance from Balanced. Does not necessarily mean anything, but ya never know. Will continue to test until I hit 50. if I hit 50 and no change, I will see about finding other, similar non-combats, and see if maybe it's accumulative from -more than one source-. --[[User:Valera|Valera]]
::* 42 current encounters on Chastity. Tomorrow I'll begin to play with something else, and then jump around some. --[[User:Valera|Valera]]

It may be a number and gets deducted/increased by ''x'' each time you do something not heroic or something heroic. When the number gets deducted/increased to another number, you get another reputation. Each choice may deduct/increase the number differently. Please also mention the amount of encounters of the choices when your reputation changed. It appears that choices you've made in the past also count towards your reputation, best if we made a clean, fresh account like Val.--[[User:Chuwenhsuan|chuwenhsuan]]

In case anyone hasn't noticed, the button for all Rep adventures has the words "What do you do?", or something along those lines, or, at least, the three I've found (which counts the Knight and the Docks) have that.

Okay, I was spading a bit. It seems that taking the bribe once and cheating the black knight once will give you "Pragmatic", and confiscating the cargo once and taking up the challenge once will get you back to "Balanced". I'll try again on my multis to test it out more. —[[User:Corrupt Shadow|CS]] 10:17, 21 April 2008 (CST)
:* Okay, I used a multi I haven't used in a while. I went back and forth between taking bribes and cheating the knight. It took 3 cheatings, and 4 bribe-takings to get "Pragmatic". —[[User:Corrupt Shadow|CS]] 10:27, 21 April 2008 (CST)

just a little question: has anyone gotten a rare drop since this has been implemented? Because i thought i heard something about your rep possibly effecting your adventures, and i was wondering if it could/would effect rare adventure frequency. --[[User:Reaper|Reaper]] 16:29, 22 April 2008 (MST)

It is said that your reputation won't affect anything. Also, we should use a brand new multi to spade things out because the choices you've done before reputation was implanted also affects you reputation.--[[User:Chuwenhsuan|chuwenhsuan]]
:*How can we know for sure that past choices affect current reputation? --[[User:Corrupt Shadow|CorruptShadow]] 05:39, 23 April 2008 (MST)
::*For sure? We can't. There is a strong likelihood though, from different people getting different results from the same actions. But for certain? No clue. --[[User:Valera|Valera]]
:::*Oh, I wasn't sure if [[User:Ryme|Ryme]] had said something about it or not. --[[User:Corrupt Shadow|CorruptShadow]] 09:16, 23 April 2008 (MST)

This isn't about past choices but Ryme said "There will soon be ways in which the reputations get you different results, for sure." so it sounds like reputation will do something eventually.

also the rave choice adventure seems to effect reputation differently than the docks one because i had honorable on a multi then chose to accept the loss at the rave and after a few turns of doing that my reputation changed to virtuous, then i took bribes a few times to see how it would change my reputation and got altruistic, before tried to change my reputation i was farming in the cube so it might have affected it too, i was alternating between right and center at the cube. so this isn't very reliable, but it seems like either the rave or the cube changes reputation differently than the docks
also does anybody know how to get vigilante?

The character Matt the vigilante watchdog as a reputation. I got it by taking bribes while i had altruistic, but i chose to beat up the guy at the rave yesterday to try to change my reputation(unsuccessfully) so that could have affected the change too. [[User:Matt the vigilante|Matt the vigilante]] 20:19, 26 April 2008 (MST)

Now i have altruistic again after accepting the loss at the rave so that probably did affect the change. [[User:Matt the vigilante|Matt the vigilante]] 20:59, 26 April 2008 (MST)

Does it change at rollover? I'm pretty sure I was balanced before, just logged in and am now Altruist. - Darryl

Let's get this ball rolling!

Known facts: Balanced encompasses more than one value. This value range is currently unknown. It's not certain if this is a grid, or just a number. If it's a grid, we can see 2 or more numbers making up our value.
Cheating for the black knight encounter takes away at least one "honorable" point. Fighting the black knight gives at least one "honorable" point. --[[User:Valera|Valera]] 22:08, 18 April 2008 (MST)

The pants turn an eerie electric yellow, the color of some sugary kids' drink, and your surroundings glow as if under blacklight. You realize this must be the precise color of sheep that androids dream about.
:The electric yellow of the dreampants makes you feel more energetic. '''You gain XX PP'''. Having passed that acid test and provided you with some cool aid, they revert to their normal state.

Your dreampants shift until they're a nice, soothing purple. Or maybe it's a reddish blue. You're not quite sure.
:The soothing purple of the dreampants makes you feel better. Almost like royalty. '''You gain XX HP'''.

The pants start to go purple-ish but then settle on a deep blue. Something in the 430 nm range. It's a particularly smart shade, you think. No, not stylish smart--more like superintelligent.
:Some of the smarts from the brainy blue pants wear off on you. How do you like that, you smarty pants, you? '''You gain XX XP'''.

The dreampants shimmer and settle on a deep forest green. You're not quite sure how you know it's definitely forest green as opposed to the nearby "green pepper" or "green hornet", but you do. Maybe all these colors are giving you a more discerning eye?
:[No post-combat message]

Your dreampants flash red, and you can feel a blazing heat radiating from them. Thankfully the heat only radiates outward, not inward, so you're fine.
:[No post-combat message; +10 fire (does this scale?) Possible +Fire resist or -Fire resist to monster?]

Your dreampants settle on a bright orange, a color you only see on expensive sports cars and traffic cones.
:[No post-combat message]

Purple -> 2*level HP at the end of combat (caps at 30) 
Yellow -> 1*level PP at the end of combat (caps at 15) 
Blue -> 1*level XP at the end of combat (caps at 10)

Orange -> +initiative (racecar=speed) 
Red -> +10 fire damage throughout combat
