It's a flaw that the karma system doesn't account for sanity.

...whose responsibility is it for retrieving activity/hosting of games?

I rather thought it amusing that he got a fractional point in your list.

Suggestions: Your footnote on host replacement should start with the symbol pointing to it*
*like this
There should be karma values for replacing (or being replaced) as host/mod, as I think I saw one of this e'ent.
If you had a third reserved post (or enough room in one of the first), listing of games whose karma had been recorded, so

Extenuating circumstances might mitigate a karma loss, but there's Nobby Nobbs to worry about, if you don't trust people. (Sixth grandmother's funeral this year?)

Well yeah, the penalty for dropping isn't too bad, and there isn't one if your excuse is good and you made a replacement request beforehand.

I find it odd ToonyMan has the secondmost karma.

Well, yes, I know if they GIVE a reason. I'm suggesting if they're run over by an 18-wheeler and in the hospital, a coma, etc. and were in fact unable to anticipate or notify to be lenient. But I'm sure you're not being ironclad about rules in that sense anyway.
SUGGESTION: Table-ize the positive karma bonuses to match the maluses.

@people who host

I'm not going to go spending 5 months diving into the archives alone.  I already have 8 paranormals to struggle with :P.  What's more, if I go in there, I'm NOT going to be able to easily find who wasn't active so folks who flaked would still be getting credit.

If you're sure no one needed a karma drop (or 0 karma, which I give if they left early but had asked for a replacement before just ditching) then just tell me and I can just zip through the player lists of your games. Until then, I'm hesitant.

@Cobalt

I've placed the burden of reporting to the host of the game in question.  If you ran a game, I just need you to post saying the game and either "Everyone was active" or "soandso got (0, -1. -40000) karma while Mr.ChumpPerson replaced UselessLoserMan".  Basically, anything that I can't figure out by just glancing at your player list in the first screen.

After that, I'll go check the player list plop the karmas in and off we go.

As for karma values for replacing a host.. probably same for hosting: +2.  Thus you end up with double for replacing then completing a game.

I can put the games list up below the player lists (in a spolier so it doesn't spam it up)

I'm not a host, but I wouldn't mind looking through the archives some.  I read reasonably quickly.

Heyheyhey. Where are my karma? I be playin' since year beginning. >=o

But anyway. I don't like this system because activity is not really taken into account. Assigning numbers to that would be a crapshoot anyway. More active players (those who contribute, really) should have higher "scores" than active lurkers (those who just post to post) even if they've completed the same number of games. I'm also afraid this will encourage elitism. =/

I, for one, don't plan on paying that much attention to Karma unless the player has really negative Karma. I have several people in Wizard Duel 2 that I've never played with before, and even though it's a small game I wouldn't want to bar people just because they don't have super-high karma.
