Ive been playing for a few months here on this server as it is one of the higher population servers with the level of RP I like and from what I can see you have active admins and mentors that police the server well and answer questions, but I am getting kind of annoyed at the karma system. I will have fantastic rounds as the as the CE, AI, or whatever and get 0 karma gain. Round after round for a few months and I am sitting with 6 karma... not even enough for a new species unlock. Yet you see the same community members who must just circle jerk the karma system playing as magistrate and plasmamen. Yet you are told if you ask karma for karma or trades that it is a bannable offense.
At one point as CE after nearly an hour I was about to start up a secondary singularity when a meteor storm came out of nowhere that completely fucked up my work. I laughed a bit assuming it must have been the admins and upon messaging them they confirmed. I asked for karma in return seeing as much hard work was put in to be ended for the continued gameplay of the server and was told not to do it again. The only way I see as a solution from a players perspective is to game the system with friends which is clearly against the rules.
I implore the community leaders to rework the karma system or as admins give out karma more generously if you see players doing their job properly. Having repaired entire breaches in the hull as CE to having research maxed as RD or having an efficient medical staff as CMO their should be some immediate reward that is not limited to random player generosity which is subject to possible abuse. If you are successful in your job be it Traitor, changeling, or research, why cant that success directly lead to karma gain.
Anyways see you on the server and thanks again to the admins for this great little community here in the small world of ss13.
