Hello, fellow traders! Today I want to tell you about an important thing: the reputation system in the game. In STONKS-9800, your reputation isn't some fancy metric. It's like your shadow in the game, showing how well you're doing across a whole bunch of things that make up the life of a businessman.
Here's the structure of the criteria that form your reputation: 1. Public Image: This is all about how you are perceived by the general public and the media. It will rise when you maintain a clean and scandal-free image. It's all about PR here. 2. Financial Success: As the saying goes, money talks. Your financial prowess, captured by your total net worth, annual profit, and asset growth, speaks volumes about your business acumen. 3. Ethical Conduct: Here's where your moral compass comes into play. Collaborating with the Yakuza and engaging in illicit activities can offer short-term gains, but will negatively impact this score. 4. Networking: This isn't just about whom you know, but how you maintain these relationships. Attend social events, make the right friends, and your networking reputation will soar. 5. Market Knowledge: Are you on top of the latest trends? Do you have a knack for predicting market shifts? Prove it, and watch your market knowledge reputation grow. 6. Philanthropy: Generous donations and charity work boost your philanthropy reputation. After all, a businessman's role isn't limited to just making profits. 7. Innovation: Pour money into developing and promoting novel technologies or revolutionary ideas. Taking the lead in innovation always makes a mark. 8. Overall Reputation: The ultimate reflection of your standing in the business world, this is the sum total of all the above facets. Each of these dimensions will not only influence how the world perceives you but also unlock new gameplay possibilities. A solid reputation might attract exclusive deals, special events, and unique opportunities, while a questionable reputation might incite public backlash or even attract government scrutiny.
