Reputation and Heat
TBG keeps several kinds of reputation separate.
Contact Reputation is your personal standing with specific people you
have actually met or otherwise unlocked as Contacts.
View it with:
@rep
The same command also shows faction REP for organizations your Character has
explicitly learned about or unlocked.
Faction REP represents your professional standing with that organization.
Police organizations do not have REP.
Heat represents operational exposure and attention from organizations.
View it with:
@heat
Only organizations your Character has unlocked are shown, except Police:
NOPD and the Neon Corporate Security Commission are always shown, even at
zero Heat.
REP and Heat are independent. Good REP does not erase Heat, and Heat does not
automatically determine REP.
Hidden progress toward the next visible REP or Heat rating is not displayed.
Contact names use the normal observer-relative identity system. The name shown
for a Contact is therefore the name or description your Character would
currently recognize for that person.
Use help @rep and help @heat for command syntax.
