First off, let me say (as most already know) I am a MASSIVE fan of stealth answers so posting this is hurting me :P

Stealth/info needs to be re-balanced in my opinion. Right now, stealth has far too much of an advantage over info. You cannot see the people on the best stealth answers if you are on full info and even if you post fairly regularly, you still can't see them.

I think either the stat for stealth answers has to be dropped a little bit or... my preference, drop the amount of work involved to improve vision.

I'm not sure why after a certain period of time (1 month i believe) whatever info you have gained by posting in the streets or bars is lost to the world. There are NO OTHER basic stats where you can gain a "+1" then lose it later down the line.

The good thing with this is... the admins have access to our vision stats. They just need to find someone who posts fairly regularly (with quality content)... see what vision they have gained from their posts and adjust accordingly so that the top posters CAN see stealthers when on vision answers. I regard this as a very small change as vision answers wont be used ALL the time by people so we wont have half the site with perfect vision.

The question I asked myself before posting this was...

Why can stealthers can go around unseen by all (apart from their CL and RH) with so little work put in, but the best posters on vision answers NOT see everyone with so much work put in?

I can understand where you're coming from Countdown, I'm not sure what I think of this suggestion honestly. I think your idea of drop the amount of work required to increase the stat would be my personal favourite way forward. I do believe it is a little too much. As for these two statements;

# 'There are NO OTHER basic stats where you can gain a "+1" then lose it later down the line.'
# 'Why can stealthers can go around unseen by all (apart from their CL and RH) with so little work put in, but the best posters on vision answers NOT see everyone with so much work put in?'

Both statements are incorrect to an extent I believe. There IS a stat that decreases when you perform a certain action. Also those in your family on pure info are able to see you in their locals. Unless it changes as you rank up more.. they can see you.

Well yes, wack can decrease if you shoot a -48, but the vast majority of users know this and never do it so although there is one other stat can decrease, the amount of times it actually happens is a rareity, whereas vision drops per month, guaranteed unless you keep up a ridiculous amount of work.

As for those in my family on full vision being able to see me, I had no idea of this but I'll be sure to check it out to see how far-reaching it is.

My thoughts haven't changed since this:
