Reputation time decay and negative rep changers ***spoiler***...

    DAILY rep decay occurs @ 3:00am. Decay is to 0. If rep < -1515 first decay sets to -1500. Between -1500 and 1500 daily rep decay is 1% rounded up (+/-1410 decays to +/-1395, 1395 decays to 1381, 200 decays to 198, 101 decays to 99). I’m making assumption that Saintly rep > 1515 first decay sets to 1500.
    With 0 (Average) rep Armageddon’d NS for -3800 rep (very Notorious, 38 peasants in NS?) 3:00am decay set to -1500. Appears Armageddon’g NS is around 28 peasant overkill, though some might find this an even bigger rush.
    Did some rep testing. Hire Gypsy(100), Duper(200), Pirate(500) and/or Burglar(2000) TEMPORARY -200 rep each. Donating @ Baa Temple -200 rep down (at least) to 0 (Average) from 200 (Respectable). Selling human bone -50 rep. Killing peasant w/ dagger -100 rep. Killing first peasant w/ bow -150 rep, additional peasants w/ bow -100 rep. Four quests yield negative rep points(-200, -200, -928, -976). Donating @ good temple +200 rep up to 200 max (Respectable). Many quests yield positive rep points. Must have <=-1000 for Notorious and =>1000 for Saintly.
    My preference to achieve Notorious is to kill peasants in Temple of Snake since these peasants can’t be hired.

Hey, what happened?!

    I started yet another team (mainly because, being a confirmed Monty Python fan, I just had to have a Paladin named Sir Spamalot, to go with my M.A.S.H. movie fave [but definitely not the TV show] Dago Red as Cleric, Marie LeBeau [long-ago voodoo queen from N'walluns {that's "New Orleans} to you non-southerners] as Sorcerer, and Dr. Strangelove as the other Sorcerer.)
    I had happily got the crew up to level 22, with Water Mastery and a pair of Lloyd'ses, and hopped over to Blackshire to get them into Light Magic. (Our rep was Saintly, so I wanted to get Light Mastery ASAP.) Unfortunately, there wasn't quite enough cash on hand to get admission to the Light vendors, Light skill for Dago Red, and Day of the Gods. So naturally, I made a hasty withdrawal from Jon van Canegham's handy-dandy Midnight Bank Vault (aka NWC.) Yikes! Our rep is now down to "Angelic," with no change in the numeric figure. Donating doesn't seem to help any.
    Oh, well. Back to the drawing board!

    I went back to an earlier save, and discovered the real problem: apparently acquiring Dark Magic skill will lower your Light Magic rep. Be forewarned!

You mention, "no change in the numeric figure". Are you seeing this number on Quick Reference screen between Reputation and Angelic?

    Are you using Grayface patch version or is this number visible on Steam?

Steam, the service you love to hate (or hate to love)

    Yes, it's labelled "Fame."
    To me, Microsoft and Steam are both indispensable. (And I don't know which one makes me want to heave a brick through my computer more!)

Fame is not reputation number. Fame is...

    total experience divided by 1000 and rounded down. I suspect you were Saintly (1000 rep) and traveled one day by boat to EIW, decaying 10 points to 990 and Angelic.

Oh, I thought it was a Fame rating.

    Actually, I wasn't trying for the EIW at that time. I was Saintly, had my characters learn Dark skill (without buying any spells.) We had donated at the Temple that morning. Since it was now near midnight, we teleported back to New Sorpigal via Lloyd's. The next morning we were Glorious. Donating, by all members, didn't raise it back to Saintly. So I went back to a previous save, THEN went to EIW, and got Master for all three. (Didn't cost anything except ship fare--why not?) After that, I went back and got Dark for all three. I think maybe I'll nuke those dratted Druids.

    and must have slept, rested waited or played until dawn, rep decay was triggered @ 3:00am probably dropping 1000 rep to 990 rep Glorious.

Glorious – or Angelic?

    . . .Glorious, not Angelic. So, would that be two levels down?

I'm about 90% sure that it is. I'll see if I can find it . . . Yes. Here it is.
