Respect

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.

What is the formula for how much Respect I will gain by killing a hobo?

Equation:

(Hobos Respect / 200) + 50 = Respect to be gained/lost.

Examples:

Hobo A has 10,000 +R while Hobo B has 8,000 –R.

If you kill Hobo A:

(10,000 / 200) + 50 = 100 –R

If you kill Hobo B:

(8,000 / 200) + 50 = 90 +R

If the number divided by 200 has a decimal point in it then round up to the next number.

Example

10,820 / 200 = 54.1 <- You would round 54.1 up to 55 and then add 50 to that number which would give you a gain of 105 Respect.

What amount of Respect do you need to have in order to get ring bonuses?

You must have +/-10,000 Respect or more to achieve the ring bonuses.

Do hobos that have –R also get ring bonuses?

Yes, as long as they have 10,000 –R or more.

Are the ring bonuses for +R and –R the same?

No, the ring bonuses for +R and –R are similar but not identical.

What are the ring bonuses for +R and –R if they are different?

+R 10,000 or more is a bonus to Speed and Defence.

–R 10,000 or more is a bonus to Speed and Damage.

Do all of the rings provide the same amount of bonuses and how does Respect affect the bonuses?

No all rings do not provide the same bonuses. Respect adds onto the base bonus of the ring.

Ring bonuses: (These are base numbers)

Gold /w Diamond: +150

Gold: +125 Silver: +100 Metal: +75 Plastic: +50

Respect gives an added bonus to the base once the bonuses are activated. The amounts that are known are listed below.

10,000 or greater +R or –R provides +25 to the base ring bonus

25,000 or greater +R or –R provides an additional +25 to the base ring bonus 50,000 or greater +R or –R provides an additional +25 to the base ring bonus 100,000 or greater +R or –R provides an additional +25 to the base ring bonus 200,000 or greater +R or –R provides an additional +25 to the base ring bonus 500,000 or greater +R or –R provides an additional +25 to the base ring bonus 1,000,000 or greater +R or –R provides an additional +25 to the base ring bonus 2,500,000 or greater +R or –R provides an additional +25 to the base ring bonus 5,000,000 or greater +R or –R provides an additional +25 to the base ring bonus

Example: Hobo A has 26,000 +R and a Gold Ring with Diamond. This would give Hobo A +200 to Speed and Defence.
