most wanted list

It might fun to have a ranking list of some type. Like 10 most wanted criminals or some such that lists the total money stolen, murders, etc, that would persist after death to form a 'high score' function.

that would persist after death to form a 'high score' function.

I like it, but it wouldn't be very useful unless it was associated with the actual users (i.e. email addresses), which I don't see happening.

Well, assuming you know what your own name was, it will still give you something to achieve. You could always 'claim' ownership on the forums too. It would be cool to know you are the most notorious criminal in castle doctrine history for example.

You could argue keeping the identities secret also adds a certain charm to it as well.

Showing cause of death would be interesting too.

Yes, assuming that. But the game never lets you know your name. Perhaps it could be changed so you finally learn your name upon death. I suppose that would work. But without that change, it just seems like a list of random numbers.

Hmm... yeah, learning your own name upon death is interesting, and thematically fitting. Though there's something cool about the forum discussions where someone says, "Whoa! I think I'm Herbert Harvey Post.... I must be the guy that everyone is talking about!"

I don't know about a leaderboard type thing, though... it seems like it detracts from the mystery and fleeting nature of the whole thing, and also adds a much more "gamey," artificial feel.
