Mark my words.

We've just loaded up some changes to how the mark reputation system functions. Here are all the details:

- You still gain reputation on completing contracts. You gain bonus reputation if the kill was achieved solo, and bonus reputation if it was completed in enemy territory. These bonuses do stack (so your ideal scenario is killing a contract target solo in territory you're enemied to).

- You now gain mark reputation for killing members of opposing marks (less than for completing contracts). These kills:
* Only award reputation if the kill was solo. Bring friends, no rep.
* Only count once per 24 hours per person. So you can kill three different marks and get reputation, but killing the same mark three times is only going to count once in that timeframe.
* Award bonus reputation if the kill was in enemy territory.
* Award bonus reputation if the target of your kill is the highest rated member of the opposing mark (again, these bonuses stack).
* Reset the inactivity timer that will kick you from mark after a certain point.

- Members of the marks now inately have the benefit of the markwho talismans. Functionally, this means they can see assassins and champions that are online with the MARKWHO command. If you are a mark who owns the talisman to let you see the opposing markwho, this now has the additional functionality of showing you on the markwho output whether you've slain that mark recently or not.

As a result of these changes all mark reputation has been reset. Its clean slate time, so sharpen those knives (or your weapon of choice if you have one) and get to marking!

Enjoy!
