When we first introduced the fame system we were limited, very limited. We used to use the 'karma' system that was built into proboards. It was basic but it got the job done, kinda. It tracked your character's fame/infamy over all, we(the staff) were talking about some possible changes to some of the character's fame based on recent events IG, one of the issues was how would X event effect Y character's fame when it was earned in Z country. Looking at the tools given to us by proboards we were able to update the fame system where it actually makes sense now.
Each country now has their own fame level for your character. It's possible to gain fame in one country and infamy in another, you can be well known in one country and nobody has heard your name before in another, things like that. Now, here's where things get a little tricky, let's say you gain fame in Bern for helping the Rebels you also gain infamy with Illia. Say you were helping Illia in the rebellion you could gain fame for Illia and infamy with Bern. It is possible to gain fame/infamy in one country and not the other as long as you're not taking part in the civil war. With all of that being said, we're going to need your help. There's quite a few people that has gained fame through out the years, we may have forgot where each character has earned it. If you remember please post in this topic stating which countries they gained it in to help speed up the process of fixing fame.
Onto the title system. The old one was gain 1 fame/infamy win a title, we felt even though we don't give out fame too often that it was too easy to get one. Since now we don't have the conflict of would that event effect your fame from another country, it may increase the odds of somebody gaining fame/infamy so keeping it at 1 is too low. Now you're going to have to earn a total of 3 fame and/or infamy to earn a title. When it comes titles, all fame/infamy are treated as positive numbers so say you have 2 fame and 1 infamy you get a title, or any other combinations. Anybody with a title currently that doesn't meet this requirement is allowed to keep it.
