Karma Penalty notification interferes with game play

20 votes

When the karma penalty notification appears, it interferes with game play. I was in the middle of discarding cards after a 7 and the discard pile reset itself. Then the system automatically chose which cards to discard. Either the time should be paused when the notification pops up or the notification should not interfere with game play. Please fix this.

and on top of that, the karma system never disables in the first place. so the notification that its active again is pointless

You can disable Karma via the game chat, but it does not disable it. This creates a very annoying sound and dice roll every time a player gets disconnected (internet or server issues) and then ends up reconnecting. You should be able to turn these sounds off or restrict this from happening.

It really messes up others games, specially fast games with lot of lag...
Please don't show others that karma system got activated and all.
We can see the game log also the computer on user profile picture.

Everytime someone has connection problems (most times during an 1-2 hr game on a web browser) and reconnects, all the players see the Karma warning. Very annoying. One time is enough. A small indicator at a corner or something is enough

There is a blocking popup whenever a player leaves and re-joins the game. It happened a few times when I was running out of my turn time in very fast mode that this popup popped up and I had to manually click the "Tick" button and dismiss the popup and I ran out of time.

Suggestions:
1. Make the existing popup a non-blocking one initially.
2. When you get more time, I think these popups need not fade the entire screen. They can just pop-up to the left/right/top of the screen (without blocki
