Fix Karma System: /disable karma doesn't work

55 votes

does the karma system ever actually disable?

it seems as though the karma system doesn’t ever deactivate. countless times after leaving a game after a bot takes over - you still get a penalty hit. how many people even have to vote to disable karma for it to be disabled? either way, after looking at the chat log it seems clear that the karma system never deactivates in the first place. i noticed after someone rejoined a game, a log notification stated “karma system: active again...” but never did one appear that that karma system was disabled because User has left the game. Or maybe it should state “karma system will disable if user does not rejoin in 1 turn rotation”

overall the suggestion for this post is:
-fix karma system to actually disable if people leave game
-clarify /disablekarma command (how many votes or make a button)
-have chat log state when karma is disabled

Hey! I think I'm suffering from the same problem. I wasn't entirely sure, but now it seems really the case. I left a couple games after someone had left before and the bot had taken over, but I think that I still got a penalty in all cases.

It's not nice because, after that, I've been kicked from some rooms due to low karma...

This is how the disable karma command is supposed to work:
-Type the following command: /disablekarma
-The following text appears in the events panel: "Karma System: JUAN voted to disable karma penalty"
-After maybe 1 minute after all 4 players (or 3 if there is a bot) typed the command, a sign pops up saying something like "Karma system is disabled. You can now leave without penalty"

*CONTINUES*

But what currently happens is that said sign doesn't ever pop up. If after everyone votes, someone leaves the game and rejoin, the karma warning sign that appears when someone leaves and rejoin doesn’t pop up either, making everyone think that karma is disabled. All players who leave the room receive a karma penalty, except for the one who leaves last, when there are 3 bots left and karma is disabled automatically.

3 of us voted to disable karma using command above after bot took over for 4th person. No pop up ever came saying karma was disabled.

After 2 players dropped out and were replaced by bots, I decided to drop out third. I lost karma point. This needs to be fixed. Shouldn't be forced to play with 2 bots.
