New Stat "Infamy"

[Sir Colchian Niveus]

What will this implement serve if there is no trophy?

[Jack Aubrey]

There must be a trophy though Drake. Otherwise it's pointless. What could that be?

The "Trophy" as you call it, is being in the number one spot and placed on the quartermaster page daily. Fame has no other trophy than simply being at the top.

Fame serves casting undercover voodoo. With the right use can be a way to manipulate ppl, a way to start wars and even a way to get revenge from those that piss you off.

I'm asking again, what this new implement will be serving? It look to me like stats of top battles and win ratio. That's why i find it unnessesery. That's why i said it needs work. That's why i said to re-read my post. I don't want to create a debate atmosphere. Just saying things you should think...

I rather like SFD's suggestion : pirates raid, its their reason for being, so a stat which reflects that activity is quite a reasonable idea

Atleast other people can keep up.....

I'm no blind CD. I don't know if you make letters bigger and bold so you stick to just one phrase. I'm not the one making the desission, i'm just saying my opinion. Things that apparently you haven't thought. I believe that there should be a trophy or cause for infame to serve, otherwise it's pointless. Having an implement just to amuse pirates isn't and shouldn't be a priority or even a reason to discuss a subject. I DO AGREE THOUGH THAT IT'S A NICE IDEA BUT IT NEEDS WORK. AS FINDING A TROPHY OR A CAUSE FOR IT TO SERVE. MAYBE THE ABILITY TO CAST A NEW VOODOO CARD THAT WILL GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO ATTACK FISHING SHIPS. WORK ON IT DUDE AND STOP ACTING LIKE A KID.

Just colour me amazed but no longer surprised.

I quite like the Infamy suggestion.

[Grogggy]

an infamous arguement:)

[Loki]

Well this has got rather colourful to say the least but in principle I am going to say that it is a good idea and there should be a measurement for infamy after all let us not forget it is a game called Pirates Glory...

[Stan Rogers]

Perhaps exploring battle report stats could be a governing factor in calculating Infamy.
Surely a pirate is talked about when a small fleet upsets a much larger force and has a successful plunder.

A Sow/cutter combo who defeats a trade fleet of LMM's for example is very difficult to do unless the LMM's are not at potential. Cannon carrying ability of the respective fleets fighting should be part of the equation.

A BoW that defeats a frigate certainly an achievement that would be noteworthy or a Sloop that defeats a Sow. Hit averages, damage inflicted, shots fired and plunder gained. If a treasure fleet is involved that gets plundered ( or high value) this would boost a basic calculation by 2-3x.
Something completely unrelated to the current fame model that would be an indicator of a players ships abilities and a players tactical battle sense.
