No, it really wouldn’t. Here’s the thing— this whole misunderstanding of the benchmark system is not meant to be the equivalent of achievements in World of Warcraft. There are no [b]leaderboards[/b] in Pariah, there are no atypical statistics in Pariah, and there is definitely nothing that is [i]arbitrary[/i]. The benchmark system rewards accumulated experience; if you keep working to get stronger it will show. It is as described by McHaggis a “virtual reality with game influences” and not the other way around. Ultimately we are reflected on focusing on the characters and what makes them. Their personalities, experiences, tensions, griefs, anxieties, fantasies, and goals. 

The RP is not a stat simulator.

That is not what I was asking at all.

A basic benchmark could be rank accumulation (such as “novice swordsman”) and achievements could be as simple as well (defeated ‘100 Monsters’). The programmed framework recognizes your achievements, benchmarks, and attributes to increase what you are able to do. I gather this idea from Familia Myth’s main character and the growth of their abilities in the course of the first six episodes. Experience and accumulation of knowledge gains you power. Power gains you special abilities. 

At least, this is my current train of thought.

I didn't ask about leader boards and things. Obviously there wouldn't be leader boards or something such as that as there is no menus.

I asked -using the example you used- how is saying things like 'killing 100 monsters' fair to people who don't go around doing that? People who go around killing monsters and doing extraordinary feats get rewarded by becoming 'stronger', In your own words

so people who go out and do certain things, would become stronger and gain more 'power'

That, my friend, is rewarding achievement hunters, is it not?

But eh, I don't care at this point, so whateves. The tone of this Int Check is pretty much gone exactly how I expected it too. Sorry fam, but I'ma be pulling out again.

I wish everyone fun with this, but I'll not be participating.
