Template:Node election types

Node election types.

Mayors are chosen through different methods according to the node's type.

• Divine node mayors are elected based on the citizen who earns the most PvE favor with the node.
  • Most of the devotion-oriented tasks are going to be on an individual basis and won't utilize outside support.
• Economic node mayors are elected via a blind-bid auction where the citizen bidding the most money wins. This is a gold sink.
  • The developers are in favor of a public accounting of campaign funds and contributions for mayoral candidates.
• Military node mayors are elected based on trial by combat. During the election week the node will enter an open-PvP battleground state for hour-long periods where candidates (and their citizen supporters) compete to gain points by securing objectives. The highest point winner at the end of the week will win.
  • Previously the developers were considering champions that fought in a last-man-standing arena.
• Academic node mayors are elected via ranked choice popular vote.
  • This was previously a single popular vote system. Records of who voted for who are not published.
