Karma isn't that important, but my low karma which lowers every day shows me that I'm disliked… Why? Do I spam, flame, say other stupid things, or whatever? I just answer people's questions on the Avernum board, and only very few times start threads or reply threads at the general boards. This is not karma begging or something… -------------------- Steal things in the sight of the guards without getting caught Get to the other half of the Blackrag fortress Get into Erika's Private Chambers Joining the Anama wihtout losing Mage Spells Two ways to make money quickly and easily "Storm, earth and fire, heed my call!"

Some people feel that they have to give everybody they meet that they think sounds or smells bad a really bad rating. It's only the younger ones though. (Not all of the younger ones.) It's usually an average betwixt the 5 ratings and the 1 ratings, seeing as people usually don't give anything else.

Huh. At one point I changed my name, and blocked my karma rating. But then I decided that we all must be judged by those we don't know, so I stuck it back on. It dosen't really matter, in my opinion. None of us here are COMPLETE and total morons. -------------------- Looks like someone needs to stick their head in some Ice Water... Posts: 29 | Registered: Wednesday, February 26 2003 08:00 |

It's called people with no lives and nothing better to do than lower karma and know that you're going to be pissy and whiny about it. Me, I just lower karma of anyone who's an @$$. But considering you don't do anything, it's just a bunch of people with nothing better to do. Do like me, hide your karma, and stop caring. -------------------- Song of the Pack -- An Online Multiplayer Wolf RPG!~ Posts: 223 | Registered: Friday, October 26 2001 07:00 |

Don't try to understand karma. Don't pay attention to karma. Unless it comes back to haunt you in a future account, as karma is supposed to but rarely does, it doesn't mean anything, does it? —Alorael, who finds it amusing that you can rate people who are not accepting ratings. You can figure out the how of it for yourself. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I like my karma at 3... it's a nice medium. As for why people vote you down, Ghost, all I can say is they are idiots. I have seen nothing from you that would merit a low rating. EDIT: Alorael is down to 4 again?? Why?

my karma is 3 stars but it's an avrage and is rounded up, but it does not realy matter. Also the original thought/rateing of the person rated can never be changed so it might be a past descrimination that never went away becouse no one could change it to the better. Also it might be that people see low karma and just add to it becouse they think everybody else has rated that person low so the magoraty must be right. And the worst thing is that anyone at all can rate a person even before they are acainted with that person and person's views and personality. Final thought: in the rating it goes :D saint, :) high priest, :rolleyes: clean, :mad: dirty, and :cool: evil priest, now it is my oppinion that being an evil priest is a complement to some... :P [ Wednesday, May 14, 2003 15:10: Message edited by: FireDrakeofIce and Necromancy ] -------------------- click: Necromanser Title: Necromancer ^ is for Roh Zee Kat Posts: 86 | Registered: Wednesday, May 7 2003 07:00 |

I don't think "Evil Priest" has ever been considered a compliment, but "Dirty" has. It puts you in the same group as cool people like Alec.

Any rating lower than five will lower Alorael's karma, as with mine. His is probably around 4.48, like mine at 4.45. -------------------- "At times discretion should be thrown aside, and with the foolish we should play the fool." - Menander ==== Drakefyre's Demesne - Vahnatai Did Do It desperance.net - We're Everywhere The Arena - God Will Sort The Dead ==== You can take my Mac when you pry my cold, dead fingers off the mouse!

Actually, I realized that the change in karma from one vote represents a mathematical impossibility assuming votes must be whole numbers between one and five, inclusive. Obviously the UBB's karma system is not only meaningless but impossible to understand. —Alorael, who actually thinks that it may be based on arbitrary decisions of highly skilled karma readers hired by whatever company makes the UBB.

That's the way averages work. Anything below the average lowers the karma, and anything above raises it. With an average above four, only five causes it to go up. Of course, this assumes logical mathematics, which I have just seem disproved. —Alorael, who believes those who don't accept ratings can still give ratings. No, it's not fair, but since karma doesn't matter, the fairness of the system doesn't matter either. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

I've rated about 25 people in 2 years.
