I prefer to play others with great Karma. I try hard to finsh my games in a timely, responsible manner and prefer to play with other players who act the same way.

I notice when I join turn based games I find most player have 100% Karma. I'm wondering if that is true in general about BGA?

Is there anywhere we can find what the median and average Karma scores on BGA are?

I am pretty sure that the median Karma of all active players will be 100%. For the average, I don't know.

Karma somehow works on BGA but it's mostly based on very recent events. If for whatever you could not finish one game, you fall from 100% to 90%. If it happens again shortly after that, you tank additional 20% and then you tank 20% for every next game you don't finish. However, for every properly finished game, you gain 1%, so you can recover quite quickly. I usually restrict to >65%, so I inlcude those who had up to 2 issues recently, I think it can happen to anyone. If you want to be very strict, you can restrict to >85%, there you shouldn't have any foreseeable issues.

The average will be something like 70-80%, probably. I'd say most people are 100%, but obviously you can't have the average as your upper limit. So all those below 100% would bring the average down.
