You'll see in the video i'm going to upload that I looked for you. Several times. LOL
Suppose its not good you know my habits, but meh.
This is why I don't see a problem with karma in general.
This picture is a placeholder for the video that is yet to come.
You know what, ignore all of my previous statements. My opinion was wrong and I can admit that. I actually agree now and think that the karma system should really be changed. I really think low karma is BETTER. The game is legitimately so much more fun when you play with low karma. Playing with high karma is just easy to get a bunch of kills because usually everyone else has low karma any ways so you're basically just going to win no matter what. But with low karma it's a fun challenge. You actually have to work to kill someone not just shoot them once with a sniper and deagle whoever comes close.
And I mean if you've already got low karma, you don't have to worry about fucking up and losing karma. Your karma's already shit so do what you want. So because of that I really strongly suggest we actually DO change the karma system. But I really think it's better to keep permanent karma except to have 400 karma removed each map change. This way players will more or less be unable to have really high karma or it would at least be very difficult to get to that point. Having that will simply make the game a lot more enticing and enjoyable. People will simply have way more fun because they will forget about their karma since it's so low. Sure you might argue that it'll be hard to kill other players but who cares? They're going to have just as low karma. It'll be fun having shoot outs lasting a good minute each at the very least. It'll just keep you focused. Honestly when I play with that low karma my heart races while I'm playing and trying to kill someone. It just really engages me into the game and it's really enjoyable now that I think of it.
But even another plus side. The minging should be cut down. I doubt people are going to want to just come to a server that makes your karma stay low to lower people's karma. It doesn't work like that. They won't be able to ruin people's karma and ruin the game for them because their karma is already ruined, except it's intended to be ruined because that's how the game's going to be played. So there's not satisfaction for any minges on the server. They really should just end up more or less leaving most likely. Even traitor baiting and RDM will be COMPLETELY eliminated because they can't really lower your karma any more so it doesn't matter. Just shoot and kill anyone who's RDMing or traitor baiting. It's actually pretty smart really, this is the only way possible to basically entirely eliminate RDMing, traitor baiting, or any kind of minges. The only players we would have to worry about would be those acting like assholes and hackers. So the VIPs' and admins' jobs will be ridiculously easier.
So I'll talk to coolz tomorrow maybe or something and suggest the change. I really kind of hope he's open to doing this. I think it'll really kind of benefit everyone and please everyone who currently isn't. So we'll see.

And, the video in question. Clearly effective with half damage. Had more fun on this round than in a LONG time playing TTT
This is seriously the perfect example. Clearly it was a challenge as a traitor with such low karma but you still managed to kill a lot of people and simply have a lot of fun. This is really simply how I think the game should be. It might not totally be intended to be played this way, but it would be extremely fun in my opinion and I think will please everyone once they give it a try.
And just think how great it feels winning knowing you've got such a penalty but still managed to do well. It's basically a new goal to achieve and I think it's quite the fun challenge.
