The Mafia Board Karma Thread
« on: October 13, 2009, 12:17:38 am »

Welcome to the Mafia Board Karma Thread


With this post, this board has established the use of Karma in mafia games. 


What is Karma?
Karma is the representation of your reliability in a mafia game.  In more blunt words, it's shows how often you bail out on running games.

So we're penalized every time we can't finish a game?  I have life!
Simply not finishing a mafia game doesn't hurt you.  However, how you leave, along with how often you leave, will make a difference.

So how does it work?
It works in a scale from 20 to -10 with everyone starting at 0. 

EVERYONE starts with 0 karma, which should be read as "New or Recently Listed".  Completing a game, hosting, and substituting can gain karma.  Meanwhile, Leaving the game, or very blatant acts against the game can reduce your karma.  The actions and their effects are as follows:

Completing a game: 1 karma
Substituting into a game: 2 karma
Hosting a game: 2 karma
Substituting for a host: 4 karma
Asking for a replacement in advance of when you are no longer able to play: 0 karma
Needing to be prodded twice in the same game: -1 karma
Asking for a replacement after being prodded: -1 karma
Being replaced by force of the host: -4 karma
Accidentally breaking a host's rule: 0 or -1 karma (host's discretion)
Knowingly breaking a host's rule: -2 up to -5 karma (host's discretion)
The host abandoning an otherwise active game: -10 karma*

*Note, to show host abandonment, the thread must show regular activity among the majority of the players (with plenty of "where's the host) up to either the last Night or when it was clear the host is gone.  It isn't to be taken lightly.

Note that simply playing poorly, being 'anti-town' or 'annoying', and even losing your cool and flaming is not enough to lose karma.  Not everyone plays well or traditionally.  Everyone can lose their cool in such an emotional game like this.  This system is just to punish actions that ruin a game, not just get on your nerves.

How is Karma recorded?

The Karma list is kept in this thread.  The players are upkept by the thread creator on the second post (with the first post being made for explaining the system).  Hosts who need to award or punish karma post on this thread so that the creator can update the listings.  The host can post whenever someone dies or at the game's conclusion.  Only the host of the game can request karma changes.

Should the thread creator not update the listings regularly, it's a new thread is to be created using the information on the past thread and using a more active player. 

Although players can, if they wish, display their Karma on their profile, sig, or other part of their entity, the official location of their karma shall be in this thread.

Since this is the first version of the Thread, an account of all active games will be used to generate the first list of players.  If you have played a game before and are not listed, post or PM showing at least one game that you played.  Be warned that the current creator, Dakarian, is poor in remembering names so don't feel bad if you are missed. 

Comments, questions, and suggestions will always be accepted.

Let's stick with this one.  It seems rather more informative.

Ah, shucks. After that negligible amount of work I went through?

This system will work, if it's a bit bigger. A scale of 0-10 is a bit too small, don't you think? Especially with 5 Karma decreases.

I do like your larger sized versions, and that it starts at 0.

20 to -10 will do I think with everyone starting at 0


You don't start with 100000 karma though web :P

You're right. I start with 1,000,000. Good catch there.

Because I figured they'd played enough to deserve a point to start with.

Age doesn't make a difference, partially because I'm too young to know just WHO is that old :P

I looked through the active games to find who had died in them and who was replacing someone else.  Dead players did completed their game and replacements get a karma for opting to replace.

Same for the negatives: people who played my hosted games that needed a replacement got negative karma depending on how it happened.  People who got forced into a replacement lost -5 (i'm assuming prods were required as well).

In truth, it was more to get a feel of it than anything.  The best option is to just focus on teh games I'm hosting and rely on the other hosts to post for their games.

You ain't dead yet in any of my games.

As for past games you've played, I'll need your host to post it up.


@ Everyone
Figured out how to handle past information now.

I'll accept karma from games that have already past.  However, I'll need the hosts to post them to confirm how each player did from a karma standpoint (if they replaced, if they needed prods, ext.)  For now, I'll just consider the games I hosted (so the karma numbers for everyone will change again, hopfully for the last time).


Btw, How should Hosts be handled?

I'm tempted to say +2 for every game that successfully ended, 0 for games that everyone lost interest in, and -10 for games that the players wanted to keep going but the host abandoned (it's Serious Business).  Not sure if that works though.

Accidentally breaking a host's rule: 0-1 karma (host's discretion)
Wait, so you can gain karma for breaking a rule accidentally :P?

Yeah, seems fine. I like most of these rules, they should work well.
