Reputation

==A Measurement of Honor?==
The reputation system is a way of anonymously rewarding good deeds, and punishing bad ones, that all players can use on Rhapsody.

==How it works==
Since the system was put into place in June 2022, every player has had a reputation score - this can be neutral, positive or negative. Every player who has given someone positive reputation counts as +1, and every player who has given negative reputation counts as -1.
*You may give reputation, either positive or negative, to as many players as you like.
*You may give one reputation score to each player.
**If you change your mind and wish to switch between a positive and negative reputation, you may do so only once per twelve hours.
***A countdown timer is shown stating how long you must wait before changing someone's reputation.
*When someone receives reputation, a message is sent to the entire server announcing this - but NOT who gave the reputation. Thus the system is public and anonymous.
*A player must be online for you to apply reputation points.
==What it affects==
Currently, reputation does not directly affect any major aspect of gameplay; it is simply a means of socially tracking public feelings about an individual player. The primary purpose of the system is to allow players to reward others whom they find helpful and punish bullies.
A player's reputation may be taken into account when deciding the results of ban appeals, and whether a player is generally to be considered trustworthy.
==Rewards and punishments==
When a player is given a good reputation by another, they are given a Reputation Cookie. When a player is given bad reputation, that player is struck by lightning.
While it is unlikely to make a notable difference to gameplay, this element adds a more visceral depth to the experience of receiving rep. If several players give a negative reputation within a close space to a given player, or if that player is already low on health, it is even possible for the ill-reputed player to die as a result.
== Commands ==
* /reputation [player] - Find out your own or optionally another player's reputation.
* /goodrep player - Give player positive reputation.
* /badrep player - Give player negative reputation.
== Future Developments ==
* Potentially, there may eventually be a leaderboard to display who has the best and worst reputation on the server.
