i think decay should be changed a bit more. My suggestion is, that when you join a faction that changes your reputation like Vault city, Raiders, Slavers etc. and you do not resign, your reputation decays to the one you got with all groups (towns etc) when you joined the faction. For example if you joined vault city and didint resign, you got +100 reputation with ncr rangers, so the decay point to witch your reputation decays is +100 no matter what + or - reputation you have at any moment. And if you do resign, so decay points are set like these after new update http://fodev.net/forum/index.php?topic=1780.0 . What do you think?
