KARMA
- could alternately call it experience (EXP) or notoriety (heck, those would probably be better because they don't have the connotation of positive/negative that karma does)
- totally on a per-character basis rather than per member
- basically a measure of how long a character's been around, how much they've done, and how well-known they are
- several ways to gain it, but you can't lose or spend it, you just keep accruing it as you do things on the site
- serves as a prerequisite to certain major IC actions; a character has to have such-and-such high karma to found a pack or have pups
- i made all these numbers up on the spot and they're totally liable to change


GAINING
100 words of post = 1 k OR 2 k per post
finished short thread (one page) = 5 k
finished medium thread (goes onto second page) = 10 k
finished long thread (goes onto third page) = 15 k
lost a fight = 5 k
won a fight = 10 k
joined a pack = 10 k
completed a hunt = 10 k
participated in an event = depends on the event

active onsite for 1 month (you get this every month you're active, so it adds up) = 5 k

these two require K to do, but i think it makes sense for them to also give K so i put them down. these are one time only per character
became a pack leader = 20 k
became a parent = 20 k



REQUIREMENTS
explore/create a new sub-territory (one time only): 50 k
found a pack / become a leader: 100 k (we could slice this in half until we get a few packs up)
have a small litter (1-2 pups): 100 k
have a large litter (3-4 pups): 150 k
have a second litter (randomized number of pups, 1-4): 200 k
