Re: Question about fame...

Hypothetically... killing karavans lowers karavan fame... and raises kami fame. I am of the opinion that I wish the higher powers want more out of their faithful than simple killing of the opposing faction and a good way of demonstrating such would be the -100 "super slow fame" scenario. Perhaps I'm old fashioned and weird but this worked wonders for my fame back in the day... take Kami missions from Kami TPs every time you port somewhere.
One. You always have something to achieve in the name of your religion and are constantly reaffirming your devotion to their side through said acts.
Two. If... in the killing guards scenario... you view it as "The Kami can only be as happy with you as the Karavan are displeased for killing their guards" ... on an act-by-act basis not by total #s of fame. Once you've killed so many karavan that they are totally abhorred by your existence (-100 fame) ... there's nothing left to prove... I feel this borders on the +Kami and no -Karavan scenario someone mentioned as a bug. I know when I was new and doing missions and fighting karavan loyalists for fame I got to 100 Kami significantly before -100 Karavan. Something to the tune of +100 / -97. And we all know how long it takes for those last 1, 2, or even 3 points.
So I guess my message is:
I hope that this is not a bug... I hope that devotion to a faith is truly a devotion and not something that can be flopped on hit's head in an hour or two of effort... because it's not faith then... it's just a #.
