Well, it's the same problem as laser tag: it relies on players being honest. For that reason, I can't imagine playing this with strangers.

This reminds me of the books 'Daemon' and 'FreedomTM' by Daniel Suarez. Entertaining reads for those interested in what such a karma system might look like when installed as a ubiquitous feature of society.

Or the idea of "whuffie" in Cory Doctorow's _Down and Out in the Magic Kingdom_.
