I was thinking about the usefulness of the info skill during wars.. And wondering weather the opposite system could be superimposed on top of it.

In my head it works like this:

- A baseline "profile" is worked out from rank, and business district presence. (By logic someone higher ranked would attract more attention. Those who are seen regularly around the city streets would be easier to spot. This means that those who can spot better due to buss. district presence are also easier to spot. Adds an element of danger)

- The amount of bodyguards someone has also adds to this number. A man followed around by men in black suits attract more attention, and they are more likely to be spotted.

- Short term "heat" could be added after petties, felonies, and drugs deals. This would give a short-term but substantial boost to their profile.

The higher your profile, the easier you are to see in the locals.

Any comments?

you're right......when you think about it...

I don't think people should be penalized for posting in the streets.

I would like to propose the exact opposite, actually. The more you speak in the streets, the harder you are to locate... since you're better at blending in.

Fair point.. I'm not looking to decrease activity here.

But again, if this were implemented with the inverse it could certainly be a good addition and I like the principle of the suggestion.

For example, if someone spent their entire life avoiding the streets, they'd probably be much easier to notice. Walking around like they're lost, etc.
