Give �some criminals a statistical standing that they an read about how destructive they are!

Now, from this, I could build code that automatically makes someone the 'most wanted' person, based on the number of people they have murdered.
This could contribute to the top ten most wanted list. The WJF wouldn't know exactly how many people you've killed but it's pretty obvious that if someone has killed that many people.. the WJF are going to know about them.
What do you guys think? Is this a fun way to do the top ten most wanted?
I mean, what if your character is a high-profile assassin? If you get caught once, it's likely over. In that regard, the WJF wouldn't know who the hell you were.
Same thing with people that kill that are disguised, hidden, laid traps, or whatever. If we're talking RP here, and someone manages to untraceably kill someone, then this code would take that aspect right away, as I doubt the admins would have time to keep track of the what/how/where/who of a kill, unless it's special.
I'd say... how about the most wanted list being generated by the number of -reported- deaths or killings by a person? If said undisguised (or disguised) person kills a lot of people publically, obviously NPC's would turn in descriptions and tidbits here and there. Even then, this would run into the problem above.
That or.. instead of any of this... admins that have been involved with RP that know of mass killers, or criminals of any kind, set the WJF top 10. WJF top 10 admin sub-committee? I dunno.
Also, we'd need to be able to factor in not just deaths, but other types of crime; data hacking and stealing, especially of sensitive data, would be much higher on the list than killing, I'd assume.

As a side note I think this is a place player notes could come in very handy. � If you kill people out in the open where it's obvious then make a @add-note of it. �The more you have the more wanted you are.
In addition if your part of the top 5, or top 2 most wanted or something you should attract attention wherever you go. �Judges should actively pursue you halfway often, Agents may drop hints on your locale to the WJF, and other random badasses should also give you grief because your "the hardest mixer in town" or somesuch nonsense. � �Maybe bonuses in dealing with mixers and negatives when dealing with corps even...

also-In addition to being able to have the "most wanted" title, said chummer(s) should get random merc work tossed their way, or be positioned in gangs/yakuza/triads accordingly. I see it as a class system for people that are outside of the standard class boundries. You should get negatives and positives for it all.

How does the system identify a wanted person? I can't see the WJF having a name for everyone in the top ten. A photo-like description could work (assuming a visual has indeed been reported), although reading such a list might get spammy.
Secondly, I think corpie murders should have a huge priority over mixer murders. Kill 10 mixers and the WJF might bat an eyelash. Kill, say, 3 middle-class corpies and the NLM will be all over it, hyping Ninja Joe up as a serial killer or something (assuming the deaths occur above Red). Then the WJF would be under media pressure to get something done about it. Hm, maybe there could be a seperate list for TERRA or something. Not sure how the seperate law enforcement systems work.
Just had an idea... presumably this list would be accessible either on the Grid or via a public terminal in the Hall of Justice? It'd be cool if there was something like a camera that kept a record of who was using the terminal. If the WJF are paying the public to take each other out, they're gonna want to know as much as they can about who's who in the mercenary world. That way if Ninja Joe takes out the entire top ten, he's next on the list, and the WJF have been keeping tabs on him since the beginning. Stops him becoming a threat to anyone who matters.
Ideas.
You for example Bio, everyone knows your char's 3 names. As argued as its been, you're not getting out of that again via the "You dunno my name, I never used it." Its not like judge records get guessed at random and just happen to be true.
You want the rep? Suffer the consequences that follow.

way to misread me. I was saying it would be stupid and unprofessional of the WJF to put someone on the top ten and not know what the fuck their name is therfore, they probably wouldn't do it until they know more about them, know their name, Judges doing fact finding shit on them, blahblahblah.
I wasn't trying to say I shouldn't be known or whatever, I play the way I play for a reason.
This way a new character may 'recognize' one of these most wanted instead of just seeing a name when he/she walks into the room and without reading the description of that person, assumes they know who they are. Ah well, I might not be making sense, I'm drugged and going to crash out now.
