Yeah I played on this server last night. Two suggestions however,
"Reputable" -> "Shady" -> "Criminal" -> "Backstabber" -> "Liability"
(really means: Good -> Bad -> Bad -> Bad -> Bad) We should change this.
Anyone with the Shady status or even having a non reputable status will be suspected quick. I think it should go:
Acclaimed-> Reputable -> Dubious -> Suspicious (or Shady) -> Escaped Convict (or just Convict)
(which means: Great -> Good -> Neutral -> Bad -> Worse)
Acclaimed will be 900 or higher.
Reputable will be 800 or higher.
Dubious will be 700 or higher.
Suspicious will be 600 or higher.
Convict will be 500 or higher.
My second suggestion is that everyone should start out around 800 or 850 giving people room to receive the acclaimed status or easily fall downwards into the dubious status. My reasoning? Everyone is a terrorist and they just pulled off a heist so everyone holds each other in equal regard until they do something wrong to go down to the bottom of the barrel or something praiseworthy to shoot to the top.
An admin told me last night people get banned for 5 minutes for dropping below 500. We should change this to 300 and try to make a more widespread use of the "spectrum." I've noticed that most people are either 1000 or 900. In other words, everyone is in "good" standing making this system somewhat pointless because the RDMers/typical fail players are always remembered from the previous round anyways. So, let's spread the karma out using the entire spectrum, start at around 800 and making the killing of innocent people more "dramatic" (twice as much karma loss) since there's tons of rounds where one person kills a suspected traitor, another one kills him, a third kill the second, everyone dies in the domino lineup.
