Reputation problem :(

When i was sailing the high seas, all the sudden a message pops up: Your reputation has decreased to Bloody Terror. Why did that happen? I was just sailing. Could it have anything to do with the fact that i took a loan from a loanershark? Im not sure if there has been 3 months already but who knows?!? <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ib012.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cry" border="0" alt="ib012.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ib012.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cry" border="0" alt="ib012.gif" />
 
Your rep tanks if you do not pay back the loan shark.

Hell, I sneezed and I became a Horror of the High Seas. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />
 
Well, it can't go down any lower than Horror of the High Seas. Problem then (depending on who you ask *cough* Skull *cough <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blah:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> ) is that of course you cannot go anywhere except QC to do any major business. There are other pirate forts around the archipelago, but QC is the only one with a shipyard ... and brothel. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> ("You told me you loved me!") - lol

I am unsure however, if you knock up your reputation will it continue to go down due to not paying back the loan shark. Common sense would be 'Yes', however not all things are as they seem, so perhaps someone else might be able to answer the question for you. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" />

All in all, there really isn't a major need to borrow from the loan shark. If you are at the beginning of the game, you can overtake a French or Pirate vessel fairly easy (watch out for those damned trapped chests if you're small on stats ... ugh), and you don't always have to get in a fight. When you engage an enemy, you are far enough away to back out if you feel like it.

Churches don't seem to be a major help in getting your rep up now it seems. I gave the church a couple 100k, and it didn't do a damn thing. However, I tell a couple people about their purses being exposed and I go from a Horror on the High Seas to a Swindler. ...go fig.
 
Go save some damsels in distress out in the jungle behind a town, that will also help your rep, AND you get some gold out of it, not to mention a couple of dull blades and maybe a rusty pistol that you can sell to the merchants for pennies... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/yes.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":yes" border="0" alt="yes.gif" /> <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
I have saved at least 3 to 4 women in the wilderness and damn it if they didn't do a darn thing for my rep - But I was getting ready to do a little something for theirs if ya know what I mean, "eh Guv'na, eh, know what I mean, eh Guv'na" (sorry - Monty Python skit)

I seem to do better with playing nice with people's purses ... damnit.

I do prefer privateering. Smuggling, Trading and taking people out who piss off my employers can be fun.

...Still, nothing like knocking off a merchant fleet though. ....Ah, I wish you could have more than 4 vessels. Like good ol' P!G ....
 
i am pretty sure rep doesn't keep going down. i borrowed from a lone shark, became a scoundrel, went back, he got all mad at me....after ending dialogue and speaking to him again (oxbay at least), it was like it never happened! lol <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blah:" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

a bit offtopic, but what exactly does privateering mean? i really haven't played many pirate games (sorry, am more of a morrowind/civilization/final fantasy 7/sims kinda guy, though i really like PotC w/build 11 lol <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" /> )
 
Privateering is getting a Letter of Marque from the leader of a country or a governor of a colony to "make war on" their enemies... Usually they get a cut of the profit. In PotC Build 11, you are rewarded with titles and land, and if you show yourself to be an enterprising privateer you may get introduced to nieces or a daughter with an eye towards marriage or maybe just some "`argie-bargie`". <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="xD:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

If you do not marry and keep a mistress(es), your rep will go down. If you marry and spend some time with the wifey, your rep will go up!
 
Alright, Captain Jack ... I guess that means you're `scotch-free` to not pay him back.

If you nab a Letter of Marque from a town, they have to take you in I've noticed. Redmond ignored me until I had a Letter of Marque and then I was allowed to go have fun there regardless of being a Horror. Do the cargo runs and the runs from the taverns as they help boost your rep quicker than what I've seen the rapists do.
 
I've got meself into a bit of an odd situation... shocking, I know, but that seems to be me lot in life. I've got a letter of marque from both the English and the Spanish, but I've grown tired of attacking only French ships and rather fancy having a go at the Spaniards. I considered the English, but they've two islands, which I like for the sake of convenience. Am I right in thinking that me reputation will be straight down the scuppers if I tear into a nice fat Spanish convoy? Then again, there's always the Dutch... <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/pirate2.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p:" border="0" alt="pirate2.gif" />
 
Aye fer sure yer rep.will go into de toilet mate,but ye can always go to de Spanish Governor later an buy his forgiveness ur run em through. <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Ah! I like that! Run him through... Why didn't I consider that before?

Just don't get too much blood and gore on his nice lavendar ensemble'! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
 
Now that's interesting... I went to Conceiciao, and checked me standings in the International community (like I bloody care). It looks like Spain retracted their letter of marque. Looks like it's open season on the Spanish!! <img src="http://www.piratesahoy.com/forum/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/par-ty.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cheers" border="0" alt="par-ty.gif" />
