Charma

18 years ago

Underneath your name there is a charma button.  Above the button is a number. Your own button is invisible to you.  You can press one button per day.

Pressing someones button adds one charma to the number which is their charma level.  There would be a second button beneath it, to remove one cahrma, you cant press both buttons, just one button a day.

I think it's spelled karma, but for all I know there could be alternate spellings.

It sounds interesting, but what would the point be besides being a popularity contest?

I can imagine person A getting mad at person B, so said person A either creates alternate usernames or gets his/her friends to sign up in order to 'karma-bomb' person B.

Just a sign of who is the most "nice" person.  Why not?  What are mag points for currently?  The site is a popularity contest.  Wnad whats stopping me from creating fifteen accounts and giving JJJ 15 accounts.

Heh heh.  I have a differnt way.  Just like Mag points are distributed by the computer (and alexp), why not let the computer choose KARMA as it's called.  Charma isn't how it's spelled.  Try looking for Karma at sites like Warriors2 and Newgrounds.

Some ways to get good Karma would be getting a game that has a 5 or more on it's rating.  Helping out noobs/newbs could be another way but that would have to be decided somehow, like mabey a button that others could press if they think somebody helped out one.  4 people would have to press it though and they'd have to have over 50 MAG pts.  That would be one way.

Another way, and the way Newgrounds does it, is that they let the user decide and it affects a background of an image you see when you go and look at there profile.

I don't know.  I'm just tossing ideas around.

No.  Then theyre just Mag Points.  Karma is decided by other users.  If you press teh up karma on someones profile, then the karma goes up.  However you only get one press a day.  Thats what the idea is.  Not pseudo MAG poitns.
