Maybe we could sell it for real money like they do the "gold" farmed in video games.

Selling your karma just seems like a bad idea some how....

hmmmm....I've already sold my soul, what's the harm in getting rid of the karma? It's not like another part of my body can use it.

Selling karma, hmmm...

They have 'factories' in China where low wage workers play online games to get goods and experience points that can be resold to gamers. So does that mean we will have Karma flaks begging for points so they can resell them.

On another note, I can see someone signing up for a hundred accounts so they can inflate their own karma . At first it would be slow going, but after a few weeks they could be Karma King/Queen.

Hmm, I tried to make some more palindromes, but the result was always one less than what I chose to give. Is there a Karma tax of 1 point?

Edit: Ok, not always, weird.

You can not add an odd number so if their karma is

21009

and you want to add 3 to make it

21012

The system will take your three, make it a 2, so they will get

21011

No way around it that I know of.

Which begs the question how does someone get an odd amount of karma to begin with? Everyone starts with 10, so theoretically if you cannot give an odd amount, they shall always have an even amount.
