Karma?

[Marsh White]

I just changed it to show the Karma total only and changed the vote links to (Like +1) & (Dislike -1)

I'd like to try it this way for a few days and see how it goes.

I think it is more constructive this way.

It's your world, boss.  And I love it.

This whole karma thing is kinda facebooky. so I am undecided at present.

I did like the smite option you had before , so maybe it could be" bitch'in" for like and" smite " for dislike.

Marsh, I think this is a "Wait it out and see how it plays"  kind of thing. I can see how some will take the "Smite" or "-1" much closer to the heart than others.  We are all a mixed bunched of personality types and we are great as a group for the exact same reason . I am a detail geek and engineer kind of weird nut and fully accept it. Karma as given on this site will likely fall to the ones that need to express there opinion on others (good or Bad). Maybe you can offer members the option to turn it "off" or "on". Play is optional as well as results. The players get to have their fun and the "OPT outs" cannot be offended. Is that an option? Best of both worlds eh?

I kind of like the "Smite or Plight" power cuz I don't really care if some Jackwagon with a mouse does not like me. Join me Klavdy, the bullets are gonna fly.....

K man, something has gone really wrong and my Karma is going Positive. I am feeling unworthy and at best a really late bloomer. Maybe Marsh will allow members to pool their Karma in to teams and help us collect into sub-groups and achieve inter-group goals of either a high or low score. Every group needs a Black and White, Ying and Yang..... Feeling kind of edgy now, maybe I need a good solution to my 92 GSXR rear wheel swap and a nap? Hugs and Kisses all....

Sell your Karma offsets so someone else can continue to be a giant asshole, but seem to be OK to folks that only go by an arbitrary karma rating. We could build a whole new economy!

Holy Crap!!! I could be selling my Karma credits....? Carsick, you are getting some kickback for this.......but only in Karma credits....Let's talk and name a price......K Man won't give me squat for my excess Karma. 

[Marsh White]

I love you guys!  You are cracking me up !

Marsh, looks like you have some credits to sell, what is the going price man? Wait an FN%$ minute!!!! Marsh created this Karma credit scheme, this smells like some Ponzy scheme where March invents a kind of currency and implies some kind of value. He can just boost his worth with a keystroke and make himself a financial Karma God. This is way off kilter and we need to revolt (Lybia, Egypt.....The East side)...See any resemblance???

So, what can a dictator sell his credits for?

[racerman_27410]

Karma credits  ....they are liable to be worth more than any paper currancy in the near future....  Barter good karma credits to farmers for corn.....  to pig farmers for bacon..... i can see the movement gaining momentum.


karma credits are free to give......but they must be given in order to be recieved!


KOokaloo!

Like and dislike, sounds too much like facebook, I preferred smite, it has a nice ring to it.

[andyb]

Like/dislike?  Fooey.  Smite was ideal.  Maybe paired with Bless.

[andyoutandabout]

Bless versus smite must be the way to go. It makes one really consider the giving of karma, which for all should be a serious business. Don't dilly dally with the Dali Lama.

[TheRadBaron]

 How about "Hail" for the positive?   I really like the idea of being able to "smite" and "hail" people.  I like the karma idea a lot.  It is a bit Facebooky as some have said, but I think that most of the regulars here have enough sense to see it as playful banter and not take it too seriously.  Hail!
