A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO THE KARMA SYSTEM
So for the sake of even awesomer character development we have added system for karma! For every in-character action (and sometimes out-of-character) that helps your character grow as a person (either in a good way or bad way) you'll be eventually rewarded for it! You can buy some pretty awesome items with it and possibly gain access to different plot-related things later in the roleplay! We're always open to suggestions about this system cos it's new.
So first things first, WHAT is Karma? Well here we call it 'reputation' to reflect the personality of your character. If you have a good reputation, then you'd be known as a good person. If you have a bad reputation, then people are gonna know not to mess with you! People will be able to get these vibes from your character IC by looking under your avatar at the reputation section. Karma/reputation is also editable by your fellow members... but we'll get into that a little later. Don't worry about anyone sabotaging your account quite yet!
Below this is a list of the five types of important terms regarding this new system. Take a quick moment to educate yourself!
Description | |
| Positive Karma is rewarded to those who perform good-hearted acts and are free from vice or selfishness. Positive Karma will help earn you rewards that are meant for the purist of heart such as the golden digimentals, light evolutions, and light costume changes for your digimon. You are able to remove your dark spore once you reach a certain amount of positive karma, but you also become easily detected by evil digimon and targeted by those who are curious about how to improve the dark spores. |
| For the petty to the downright evil - if you're not a very nice person chances are you're going to be loaded down with a lot of negative karma. While you are able to buy rare items for your digimon you also will give off an aura that will make good-hearted digimon unfriendly to you. You also become more susceptible to being infected with a dark spore (or having the effects of your spore intensified if you're already infected.) |
|
|
| Looks like you're trying a bit too hard to earn some karma. Staff is rather vigilant about this and thus have devised a system so that no karma will be earned when certain actions are made in-character or out-of-character. |

HOW TO GAIN KARMA
So either you can gain (or totally lose) karma depending on your actions both in-character and out-of-character. Long story short, bad characters will naturally get negative karma, good characters will get positive karma, and random acts of ooc kindness and great roleplaying will win you wildcard karma. But if you mess up royally and we catch you you'll either be rewarded no karma or lose it all. Sometimes we'll need you to post your finished threads here for us to evaluate and other times we will look for who's doing an exceptional (or not so exceptional) job.
