I'm hoping that this guide will help someone....
How is karma raised and lowered?
that is a very simple question, karma is lowered by harming teammates through shooting them, exploding them, discombobing them off and edge, love tapping them, and basically anything that will harm/kill them. For me at least, every teammate i kill (with a pump shotgun) takes away around 100 karma, though this may differ for different weapons.
On the other hand, karma can only be raised through 3 methods
1: a map change will instantly reset your karma to 1000
2: not harming anyone on your team for a round will bring your karma back up by about 50-100 at a time i believe
3: killing traitors will bring back some off your karma, unsure of how much but it is something to remember
How can i avoid my karma getting lowered?
That is also very simple as well, simply do the following:
1: don't randomly chuck discombobs or incends, they can kill or harm others
2: love taps lower your karma, and they are annoying, so don't do that
3: try to avoid shooting until you are sure of who shot first or is kosed etc.
4: if you are a traitor, always warn about weapons such as black holes, would not end well if your traitor buddies get sucked in.
5: tying into the next topic is be wary of killing known rdmers
How in the world do i know who to shoot?
Well there are two different sides for traitors and innocents/detectives, both of which i will go into.
Innocents/Detectives: Being an innocent/detective and not shooting teammates is obviously much harder than if you are a traitor, but by following these guidelines you will hopefully do it a bit less
1: If you walk in on a firefight, it is best to wait for it to be over before you shoot anyone unless one is kosed or using a traitor weapon.
2: It is very important to note who rdmers are. if they have been rdming purposely in past rounds then it is a safe bet that they are doing it again, and as it is always stated, it is better to let yourself be killed than kill an rdmer so they can get banned.
3: if you are innocent, you should probably not shoot the detective, ever. Once again, it is better to get killed so the rdmer will be banned instead of you.
Traitors: For being a traitor literally all you have to know for this is dont shoot anyone with the red glow and traitor sign above your head. Honestly you would have to be a new kind of stupid to mess up on this.
How can i avoid following false koses?
now this is far more difficult than most things, but you can decrease your chances of following a false kos by being more careful about following koses.
1: just because someone is kosed you shouldn't shoot right away, try to figure out the details before you kill them, but be ready to shoot them at any moment if they shoot or pull out a traitor weapon etc.
2: keep track of who is proven if anyone, if someone koses them, odds are its false.
3: if there is a kos at the start of the round, probably not true
most of this one is just using common sense
I'm stupid and murdered so many teammates i'm almost to a ban, what do i do?
At this point you have a few options:
1: stay in spectator mode until the map changes
2: leave the game and spend some time thinking about what you have done while your karma regenerates
3: stay in the game and be slaughtered because you cant risk shooting anyone
I would advise doing this is you get into the 700 karma range to avoid any risk of getting banned.
Additional stuff
1: karma does not regenerate in spectator mode, so you will have to wait till the map changes if you go this route.
2: Just because you are claiming a bounty doesn't mean you wont lose karma, do this in moderation
