Agreed. Without any implications it is useless. And as mentioned in my past post, any penalties would be bugged. It simply won't work logistically.

Wouldn't it be better this way?
Losing Against
Dueler: -1 honor points
Soldier: -2 honor points
Adventurer: -1 honor point
Builder:-3 honor point
Quite right; this is a game. Nobody cares about this "honor" thing, you speak of.
Some of the best dueler are workers.
Quite true. My builder make lots of money! $$$
Perhaps this is your problem. You need a new town. Find one with 30+ members. The rest are loser towns.

Workers in this game can become some of the strongest resistance fighters at the higher levels, and I agree, it would make it worse for workers if this was somehow 'miracled' into the game since there are some of us that only have honor among thieves!
BTW Nice avatar pic teh! :laugh:

I REALLY LIKE THIS!!! It's sort of like a duelers REPUTATION!

If instituted call it what it is, Reputation.

It makes perfect sense to duel builders.
They are free money and the high level ones are great experience.
If your town can't enforce "no dueling builders," find another or respec and defend yourself.

Exactly. That's all it is for duelers.

Not really, I could see a way to...Now that I think of it, we do have the medals system.

The idea is worthless unless Reputation is some kind of currency. However, duelers already earn money through dueling and use those money to buy items. If reputation was added it would only be in favour of those dueling, making it unfair for workers for example.

Since the medals came out, attacks on builders have increased.
Before the medals, I (as a builder) never got attacked, after the medals came out, it's a non-stop affair.

Why not do the honor/reputation system, but instead of basing it on level or character class, why not base it on the actual stats of the player? These are hidden, of course, but a lot of people announce on their profiles what kinds of characters they are anyway, and after 1 or 2 fights you can figure out if a player is helping your reputation or not, and to what extent.
Aim, Dodging, Vigor (if carrying a melee weapon), Shooting (if carrying a ranged weapon), Toughness, Reflex, Tactics, and Appearance. Take a player's stats in those areas (including bonuses from equipped clothes and weapons), compare them to the opponent's stats, and the difference should determine the reputation gained (or lost) by the winner.
So reputation points would go mainly to those who fight real duelers and those who don't make it a point to pick on players who don't have their "dueling clothes" on.
Some people may not care about high honor/reputation and may even go for the lowest score possible to gain some kind of warped bragging right; but if the reputation scores are publicized by the game for everyone to see, it would give Workers who are paying attention advance notice that a Worker farmer is in town so they can take steps to protect themselves. It might also make the "disreputable" fighter a target of "reputable" fighters who don't care for their tactics (which many "disreputable" fighters might actually enjoy), so there would be possible repercussions to a low reputation score.
The other thing is that people new to the game looking for a suitable town to join can get a better idea of where they fit in. Those looking to play "honorably" can find a town more suited to their tastes, and those who want to be on the wrong side of the law can find a town full of those types to join as well.
I think, overall, that kind of system would make The West a lot more realistic.

Dueling workers and adventurer is honorable and good money wise. Prove me wrong. I believe fighting against workers is the most honorable thing, because you fight against the people who construct the shops of your enemies!
I pretty much employed the rule some people use to believe in god. If it can't be proven otherwise it is true.
I don't understand what's so dishonorable in fighting against characters without a good dueling build or fighting against lower level players. It was their choice or fault it became that way and we the soldiers should not be punished because someone believes it will be more honorable.
Every decent soldier should be protecting the builders in his town. The game should not be enforcing any other rules. Dueling level is more than enough.
