Easter and Karma

I've made about 500 posts on the Torn forums. Up until now I had just barely over 100 karma. Easter isn't even over yet and I already have 150 karma. If it keeps going this way I will have 250 karma by the end of this Easter! It's not just me either, every post I see that was made during Easter has one, two, three sometimes more up-votes.

It could be because there are more people here for the Easter eggs. They are quite valuable and many people will want them. Another idea is that they are on some sort of Spring break. No one has anything better to do so they decide to play torn. It might not be that there are more people, it could be that more of the people already playing torn are using the forums. They think that they can maybe find some eggs if they look through the forum.

It could just be that people are nicer during Easter or something I don't know! What do you guys think?

karma is gained by posting either valuable content, making people laugh, or just having a good discussion where people agree with your points not so hard really...sometimes people might even pay for karma...

just be active and post more youll see your kerma soar then

You post in a lot of the game threads, which is why you would have high PC to karma rating, well done on hitting 150 though :).

I feel like you shouldn't highlight things like this though, some people are just toxic enough to R- you or avoid rating you at all.

If you've gained a ton of karma, you're probably contributing stuff that people enjoy, so keep at it.

R+ [:sick:]

nice karma and post count :)

hmm... this thread is currently not upvoted nor downvoted. You said R+ but then didn't upvote the guy! :( What's up with that?

Karma can go both up and down though, so posting everywhere won't necessarily increase it. Theres a possibility of more people being online due to holidays and playing torn, or more people actively checking the forums at this time for easter-related info, which affect overall karma.

Karma votes both up / down aren't shown straight away on new threads, there is a delay - nevertheless I did upvote it when I said I did, don't worry :).

I've noticed that Karma is going up at every second post, for me.

I haven't noticed, but have an R+ from me for your positive outlook on life

Voted R- because we don't care about karma. Neither should you.

No idea. R+ cause I don't care.

R- because a bunch of people R+ed cause they didn't care, I too don't care, this should balance the scale of cares.

R+ For the balance

Honestly, I don't go to forums much and don't know about what karma is really used for. Hope it gets you what you need :)

R- for rebalancing back. and another junk thread

I think that if you'd read the forums much, you'd see people don't like karma farmers.

R- from me.

what a useless post zzzzzz r-

Trickle down economics or karma wealth redistribution depending on how you identify politically.

Champion's daily karma rake didn't just disappear.

I don;t think he was karma farming. I think he just noticed a trend and shared his thoughts on it. It's just unfortunate that there are a lot of people who like to jump to conclusions. If I R- everytime someone posted something I thought was worthy of minusing I'd be doing it all the time. So I don't instead I save it for when I feel the person really deserves it. I'm pretty generous with my plusses though. IF you make me smile I usually reward it.

R+ for making me smile :D
