Respect

Information from General Discussion posted by ID 192320

So what is Respect?

I would clarify Respect as a new stat introduced to the game to provide a benefit to the people who are married and have rings. (Currently Ring benefits apply to anyone who owns a ring regardless of marital status, assuming they meet the Respect requirements to obtain the bonuses the rings offer)

How many kinds of Respect are there?

There are two types of Respect.

Positive Respect (referred to as +R from this point forward)

Negative Respect (referred to as -R from this point forward)

+R is any amount of Respect equal to or greater than 1

-R is any amount of Respect equal to or less than 0

How do you gain or lose Respect?

This is a multiple part answer.

1. . You gain or lose Respect only when you win a fight. That is a fight with another hobo. Fighting in the arena does not affect your Respect. Losing a fight does not affect your Respect. (Yes this was implied in the first statement but I wanted to explicitly state this fact)
2. If you defeat a hobo who has +R you will receive –R.
3. If you defeat a hobo who has –R you will receive +R.
4. If you defeat a hobo who attacks you that has the same type of Respect as you (+ or -) your Respect will not be affected.

How can I determine what someone’s Respect is?

Hobo is Alive:

If the hobo in question is alive you can go to Duncan’s House and view the side that they are on and the Respect is shown on the right hand side of the screen in line with their name.

Hobo is Dead or Alive:

If the hobo in questions is dead you can do a search by going to the City, clicking on Hobo Meeting Area, enter the users name or ID number into the search field, click on the hobos name, and then looking between their Age and Level.
