Gameplay
Influence is a resource mechanic representing your character's sway with
the general NPC population in the game, and can be used for a number of
social mechanics in-game.
Influence is mostly earned by roleplaying with other characters. You will
earn a small amount of influence whenever you roleplay with someone.
However, most influence is earned by other people roleplaying with you.
Whenever you're roleplaying with someone and especially when they
specifically target or speak to you you'll earn some influence based on
their social rank, as well as, how much influence they've given out
recently. In essence, the more important and famous someone is and the more
attention they pay you relative to everyone else, the more influence you
earn.
Influence can be used to praise or diss someone, to start rumors, to run
schemes or found societies. It is capped at 100k.
There are several subtypes of influence that can be earned in other ways,
but each of them have more restricted uses and none of them can be
transferred to other people for the use of schemes.
Society Influence
Society Influence is gained based on your society standing and can only
be used for loyalty praises and disses for other people, and not yourself.
This is capped at 10k.
Scheme Influence
Scheme influence can only be used for running schemes or creating societies.
It can be gained by having contact stats whose jobs are set to 'planning'
and can be gained once per day. It is capped at 100k.
