A good person marker / Ethos / "I deserve this" marker.
Hym "It's funny that honesty isn't included in what constitutes being a 'good person' or having a 'good reputation'. We don't like honesty anymore. Like, there aren't 'good people' who are just a little lazy. There aren't any frugal 'good people'. I mean, generosity is obviously good but when your actively gaslighting someone and trying to arbitrate fame it almost seems like you need a 'good person' to be anything other than 'someone who doesn't gaslight strangers and use their ability to appeal to their own credibility to appoint themselves as the supreme arbiter of all moral virtue.'

That's another annoying thing, you use your ethic to give yourself the extracurricular and exclusionary right to change the world in your image. 'You shouldn't criticize the world! You didn't vacuum your carpet this morning or something! But I have a responsibility to change the world in my image even though that makes me an ideologue... which is bad... but I deserve it because I have ethos... which makes it good... but I mask my ideology by projecting my ethic onto religion... which makes it religion... Yeaaah... And no one can do what I do ... Except for that one guy who pulled a hypertext out of his ass.... it won't be intimated by the culture.... oh, wait... it was intimated into 2 different cultures... holy shit I'm a beloved anime character now! Because of him and not me.... That guy is the greatest! What a Goddamn genius! I wish he would breed out my daughter like The Honelander was going to do to Maeve... Except in a sexual way... Then his super-kids could take over the world!' AHAHAHAA! It's just too fucking priceless! I tried to apologize! I tried to give you plenty of time to see the error of you ways... Some people just cannot see reason. It's a Goddamn shame. Hahahahaha! I might not have a good reputation but I am am archetypal figure. So that's good."

Get the Regulating Big Brother mug.A term used in the popular board game known as Settlers of Catan, when one player blocks and steals from another player (using the robber) primarily because that player has a reputation for being really good at the game. It's typically most obvious this has been done when the player being blocked has been chosen over another player in the game who is a more immediate threat.
However, reputation blocks are not exclusive to the player's reputation. Some strategies have a reputation for being more effective than others in Catan. For example, a strategy known as OWS (ore wheat sheep) or SBS (side by side) can both be very effective strategies. If a player using one of these well known strategies is blocked, because of the strategy being used, instead of another person in the game who has a stronger position, this is also considered reputation blocking.
Reputation blocking is most commonly an action taken by novice player's who haven't yet learnt how to play Catan well. This move is also severely frowned upon by highly skilled, established players in competitive Catan leagues. Primarily because it is illogical and does very little to help the player performing block win the game.

Red Player: Why did you just block me? Orange is winning!
Blue Player: Because its you!
Red Player: That's a reputation block! You're going to make us both lose the game with moves like that.
