Karma System

Whats Karma?
In Traitor Town you can't just kill everyone like if it was a deathmatch. Karma system prevents you from doing it.

Every player has a Karma number between 1000 and 0. That number can go up or down depending of what you do in a round. When a player has 250 karma or lower the game will ban them for 3 hours preventing him for playing any gamemode. The lower the karma is, the lower is the damage you do

You can check you karma by pressing tab and looking at your karma

When it goes up?
When each round ends you always earn 35 karma if you are not a "Free Kill".
 * When I know if I'm a "Free Kill"? Look at the bottom left of your screen, if you have a skull it means you are a "Free Kill"


 * When do you became a "Free Kill"? When you killed someone of your own team (Innocents and Detecives killing other detectives and innocents or Traitors killing their teammates)


 * When you break a Tester (If the map has one)
 * When you use some Traitor items such as the C4 and the poltergeist (Specifically if you're holding them out)

You can also gain karma by hurting people from the other team: The karma you gain depends of the damage you do to the other team This equation determinates how many karma you get:
 * If you are Traitor: When you hurt Detectives
 * If you are Innocent or Detective: When you hurt Traitors

(amount of damage you deal) / 2
So this means you can get a total of 50 karma for killing one person of the other team plus the round ending bonus

(100/2) + 35=85

When it goes down?
It goes down when you hurt people of your own team. But losing karma is a bit more complicated because it depends of the other guy's karma. You'll lose less karma when the person you hurt has low karma. The amount of karma you lose is determinated by this equation:

(Others person's karma / 1500) + 0.5) x 1.5) x Damage dealt

For example, you killed a person who had 1000 karma. If you do the equation you will lose 1.5 x 100 = 150. But you can lose even more karma, by killing a detective, which will take away double the karma.

So you can lose a total of 600 karma just for killing someone.

Damage Penalty
Also, the lower your karma is the lower is the damage you do.

When you have 1000 karma you do 100% of your damage. And when you have 250 karma you do 50 of your damage.

You can calculate how much damage you do with a spefific amount of karma with this equation:

(Your karma + 500) / 1500) x Damage dealt)
