Question What is karma?

I've noticed people mention karma, or giving someone karma. What does that mean? Sorry, I'm new!

If you press the karma box underneath the name of a poster that you want to give karma to, they get karma.

It's a strange and mysterious thing, the more karma you give and recieve, the more livestock you owe people. At the moment, you only owe the people who gave you karma, a small Aylsebury Duck. Conversely at the moment I owe various people 2 water buffalo, 6 Vietnamese pot bellied pigs, 3 Marino sheep, a dozen chickens and a small rabbit called Eric. If and when you eventually meet these people, you have to make good on the karma, which can be difficult if you're flying transatlantic, so be careful who you get it from, some people give it just to make you look even sillier at the airport. Hope that's cleared things up.

Yeah, and when I got that parrot you gave me home, turned out it was dead.

You owe me.
