I keep saying to myself, "Hey, self. You're one sexy man. Also, the rumor system shouldn't be only tied to guild and race. There should be at least a third option there."

So self says to me, he says, "Hmm. What about a universally-existant 'reputation' score which would tie into things like a character's Charisma stat, circle, performance within respective guilds (which is tracked [inadequately in some cases, but serviceable enough for these purposes] by most guilds via things like Inner Fire, Devotion, Soul, Confidence/Rep, etc.), "roleplay" status (the easy but sloppy way being by RPA count, the hard but accurate way by GMs setting up something manually), etc, which would when highly favorable override the guild/race tenets? Also, weren't they going to do a reputation/alignment system sometime this decade? They could throw that in there somewhere, too."

"Self," I said, "You're pretty brilliant when you lay off the internet gaming. That stuff rots your brain. Yeah, Self, it's a great idea, but it's waaaaaaaaaay too complicated for them to finish anytime soon. Why not just tie it into something that already exists, like those aforementioned guild stats? 'I don't usually talk to you types, but you're such a well-known X, maybe just this once...'"

"Either way," Self replied. "It would be nice to have more robust and malleable access to a robust and malleable system."

"I know. You're hot, Self. Let's make out."

I was mildly disturbed after reading this:

>>I keep saying to myself, "Hey, self. You're one sexy man.

I was convinced I would now have nightmares after this:

>>"I know. You're hot, Self. Let's make out."

After this, I believe there is not enough therepy in the world to help fix the scars left:

I'm beginning to scared that you all might actually turn me into one of you! ;)
