Your deeds define your reputation. Basking in your success is the easy part, but what happens when things don’t go quite as expected? Your reputation is easily tarnished by a few bad outings, and now you’ve got to live with the consequences.
This is the third of three articles examining reputation. Reputation (part 1) appeared on The Core Mechanic a few days ago.
