Reputation
Reputation (conjectural name[nb 1]) is a mechanic in Animal Crossing: City Folk and Animal Crossing: New Leaf that keeps track of actions that a player does in the game. When completing an activity a high number of times, the player will develop a reputation amongst the villagers in town for that action, bestowing a unique title upon them. While villagers spread rumors about it amongst themselves, they will occasionally pass it along to the player in order to inform them of their reputation.
Villagers can also spread rumors about another player's reputation, particularly when visiting other towns, or when a villager has moved from another player's town.
