Karma Points

First, And YES I AGREE!
I do think that people will try and get negative karma to the max as player on WarZ do for humanity, it doesn't effect them and they can say/kill whoever they want. For me the punishment would be a temp-ban maybe for a day or two if it got to the extreme. Just a thought.

 

You could replicate it kinda like the vote system...

For everytime you say something profane in chat you lose karma points, and you gain karma points for saying nice things in chat, having good sportsmanship, etc.

You use these points to purchase things on servers. Less OP than voting so people can still vote, but still enough to reward people for their good deeds

 

I could see this working out greatly. Now, will there be problems with people spamming those nice things to get karma?

 

Maybe use the the karma points like the voting tokens.

 

Also, how would we keep track of the good/bad karma? I'm just thinking that a team of 10 that we have could spam someone with positive/negative karma and get rewards or something of the rather.

Pretty good idea! Would probably drastically reduce the number of hackusations in chat. And it would also help reward good people in the community for being kind. We would have to adjust it so it works well for McBrawl though.

 

Seems like a nice add. It might work out nicely, but what would the benefits of Karma be on the player's side?

Edit: I saw Mario's post. Nvm on the question.

 

I think the best thing in this situation would be to add a title. Although, under the topic of players saying things like "hacker" or such should have penalties on their chat maybe. Like limiting their speed of chat, or on a more major scale, removing their chat temporarily.

 

This could really help i hope it gets added.

 

Here's my idea of a punishment system for those bad players.

• Punishment 1 - Have a plugin that checks for a certain karma level. Once that level has been reached, a private message will be displayed in the user's chat once they log on. Not sure what the message would be, but this could serve as a warning to not continue their actions.
• Punishment 2 - If the user persists in lowering their karma after a warning, a temporary ban will be initiated by the console; seven days top?
• Punishment 3 - Yet, the user still continues lowering their karma. At this point, a ban time of up to three months shall follow. When the ban screen is displayed, a message will say that if they continue their actions, they'll be banned permanently.
• Punishment 4 - Only extreme idiots would be dumb enough to continue lowering their karma. This would be the final straw, which would be a permanent ban. I think a permanent ban is fair because the player would have to be someone like Woundwart or old Joeymast99 to have a karma this low.

 

Benefits of people having a high karma could be a different colour name above their head or something like that?

 

Great idea! What if you could purchase other items with karma on WarZ that you couldn't with tokens? For example:

Humanity? You could spend karma and get more or less humanity depending on your preference.
Remove tp cool down? For some karma you could remove the teleport cooldown. This would be a one-time thing and would help for example in some fights when your team needs you but you're not present.

One issue that I haven't seen anyone realize that I think could be an issue is just people going noob hunting and saying gg every time they kill a leather. It would be an easy way to farm karma, which kind of defeats the purpose. People could also let their teammates kill them and then tp them back so they'd karma if they say gg.

I had an idea for War as well- What if with a certain amount of karma you could purchase the right to choose the next game? You could either choose the map or the game mode, and for even more karma, both!

Cost ideas; just some ideas of how much these things could cost.

Say gg after a war game or you kill someone on WarZ- Gain 1 karma
Pick map/game mode on War: 30 karma
Pick both on War: 60 karma
Remove teleportation timer on WarZ: 40 karma
Get 10,000 more humanity: 10 karma
Get 10,000 less humanity: 15 karma

 

Karma points is a good idea, but, instead of having like 10 voting tokens for every point, you could have for every 100 Karma Points you could redeem them for 10 voting tokens.

 

Good idea.

 

These are good, I'd like to see this in MC-WarZ!

And maybe if you reach a certain amount of karma, it would transfer to vote tokens, so like 50 karma points would be 200-300 vote tokens, well I don't know if that is good, but I'd like to hear some more ideas!

These are great anyway!

 

This sounds like a great idea. There are many different routes that you could take and I quite like some of the ideas that I see above.
