Interesting, but it wasn't quite the point I was aiming at.  What I originally
mean't was multiple identities each with their own reputations as well as
appearances.  I know your system allows labels to be set on individuals, but
might you label someone twice, once for each 'identity', not knowing that they
were in fact two separate people?  When you dress up like Kilgoth, do you gain
his reputation?  If, while dressed up as him, you acted like a complete idiot,
would this effect Kilgoth next time he logged on?  I'm not just talking about
two people looking similar, I'm talking about potentially perfect disguises.
