Feature Spotlight: Voting

This article is part of a series of articles highlighting several different features of Mission Control in more details. The topic of this article is the voting system of Mission Control:

Quick summary: Within Mission Control, there is TLM allocated as Voting Power on planet Eyeke. When players earn Shards in Alien Worlds, they also accumulate Voting Power within Mission Control. This Voting Power enables them to select the candidates they wish to back. Mission Control supports the top three ranked players in the weekly Alien Worlds Syndicate elections.

Whenever you earn Shards in Alien Worlds, in addition to the Shards, you also earn Voting Power within Mission Control. It is possible to earn Voting Power up to a maximum of 150,000 Vote Power at a time, so make sure to use your Voting Power before hitting the cap for maximum efficiency.

You can then use your Voting Power to vote for candidates on planet Eyeke within Mission Control. All players who are candidates within the Alien Worlds DAO game on Eyeke are automatically also displayed as candidates in Mission Control voting. You can either allocate all your votes to one candidate or split them between two.

Also be aware that Voting Power in Mission Control is subject to decay: active votes on a candidate in Mission Control decay by 7.5% per day to make it possible for new candidates to catch up over time.

For each election of the planetary DAOs in Alien Worlds, Mission Control will use the allocated TLM to vote. The top three candidates who received the most Voting Power in Mission Control will receive the support for this election.

Quick example:
candidate A has 3 million Voting Power in Mission Control
candidate B has 4 million Voting Power in Mission Control
candidate C has 5 million Voting Power in Mission Control
candidate D has 6 million Voting Power in Mission Control

This example means that the candidates B+C+D will receive the same amount of votes from Mission Control on Eyeke. Their order as Alien Worlds DAO candidates will ultimately depend on how much Vote Power they receive from other sources in the Alien Worlds DAO system.

What this vote power means for the election on Alien Worlds depends on the circumstances of the election: in some cases it might be enough to be custodian, in other cases it will not, depending on the rest of the Eyeke voting landscape on Alien Worlds.

With great power comes great responsibility: by the Voting feature, Mission Control enables players to be part of the Alien Worlds DAO game. Custodians must follow the rules issued by Dacoco, which can be found here: Planetary DAO Council Policy

After issuing a warning and giving sufficient time to fix potential issues, we reserve the right to remove a player from the Mission Control voting system if they abuse the voting system in a way that their actions potentially break the DAO rules or other applicable law.
