Alpha-1 node election user interface.[1]

The village stage is a unique stage because that's when the government system comes online and all other stages past village there will have already been a cadence for the election system and it will follow that cadence, but after the initial village stage is completed there will be a one week period where players have an opportunity to establish citizenship at the village that also provides for the cooldown time that is- that would be present on players leaving another node to participate in in this particular node leveling up. But that after that one week period then there will be a one-week election process and then from that point moving forward will be the one month cadence that the node experiences elections on.[2]Steven Sharif

Once a node has reached Village (stage 3) there will be a one week cooldown period before node elections begin.[2]

  • This cooldown period allows players to establish citizenship at the village; which may require them to relinquish previous citizenship at another node.[2]
  • Following the initial cooldown, there will be a one week election process, then from that point on, elections will follow a monthly cadence.[2]
  • Node sieges may not be declared for 21 days following a node advancing to any stage.[3]
    • This was previously stated to apply only to nodes advancing to Village (stage 3), not higher stages.[4]

Node elections occur on a monthly basis.[2][5]

Node government

Alpha-1 winner of Mayoral election.[10]

There are a number of different seats that can exist within a node, and carry different responsibilities.[11]Steven Sharif

Positions within a node's government are attained through seasonal titles that grant special powers and benefits within the node.[12][11][13][7]

There are other node-based positions. Most of them relate to social organizational structures like the temple and the social organization building that the node might construct. Those are ladder systems of achievement that players can work through on a seasonal basis to achieve the highest level of that for the particular node; and by doing so they will then have titles bestowed upon them, which grants certain types of powers and benefits.[12]Steven Sharif

City hall

Winstead Village (stage 3) node town hall in Alpha-2.[16]

We want the City Hall to be the place where big decisions are made for each Node. It should be where the “ruling class” comes together and decides what to do (these decisions can quickly make them the “old ruling class” too).[17]

Town hall (also called City hall) is a default service building that comes pre-built with nodes.[18][19][20][17]

Leadership powers

Leadership powers may refer to.

Node politics

There won't be a civil war mechanic within nodes but there will be scope for internal political conflicts; such as undermining the current leadership and disrupting trade.[21]

We want consequences to matter and if that person got elected then you need to work within the means of the mechanics to get them unelected.[22]Steven Sharif
