Wish list / 2 reputation stats

i dunno if being \"wanted\" should affect a reputation stat. I mean, you can have a suave criminal, right? or a Robin Hood type giving to the poor (or the newbs)? You could have a good reputation and still be a wanted criminal...
Now a good reputation would make you harder to find in a city, not easier. If you\'re well liked, who\'s gonna rat you out? You would need to use a seperate stat.
The thing is, you have to remember reputation is subjective. A thief might think some guy who mugged a couple of adventures and took their stuff was pretty cool. Similarly, a well known upstanding citizen wouldn\'t last very long in a bad neighborhood. Seperate \"Good\" and \"evil\" reputation stats maybe?
