Ooo that is really cool!

Also, I'm the only player on there who has an identical Town and Scum rating XD

I dislike the choice of name, because it implies that someone who replaces out of 19 games and replaces into 20 is doing better things than someone who replaces out of 3 games and replaces into 0. The latter person has a better impact on the community/meta, because a replacement always does some irreversible harm to the game.

"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

Are you saying karma is too positive?

You could fix it by having an inherent 9x multiplier on outs, I guess. And then there wouldn't be enough slots to rep in on for anyone to have a positive score? But really they're kind of incomparable events.

A negative average is probably acceptable. And anyone who never replaces out will still have a zero at worst I believe.

This is super old and not super accurate as to my modern 2021 feelings BUT it would be cool to track this automatically for my own amusement using the API eventually.

Ooh I had no idea this thread was a thing.

I might still have the data from this project somewhere, if you're still interested in this project. It was just a massive manual data-mining process, though. A part of me is on-the-fence about tracking 'replacement karma' in the post#0 iteration, but I do love the idea of encouraging people to pick up slots & thanking those who do.

Without some nifty upgrades, I can't think of a way to massively upgrade replacement tracking. Standardising replacement tracking reliably is kinda hard because a % of mods currently kinda just post them in whatever format they fancy. :P But if you have any ideas, I'd love to chat about them.


Tangentially, I have been picking JacksonVirgo's brain recently about some aspects of replacemetnt-tracking; but that's probably better-served for their thread etc.

How would my karma look across all my history on this site
I feel like I’d probably end up substantially positive
