Mock Election 2016 is a blockchain voting game developed on the EmpireCoin platform. For more information about EmpireCoin, an open source blockchain gaming platform, please see the
EmpireCoin announcement thread. Or read this thread about one of our previous games:
Red vs Blue.
Mock Election 2016 runs once per day. Elections are held in each of the 50 states, with 2 state elections held simultaneously each hour. Candidates accumulate electoral votes based on the states that they win. At the end of the game, the candidate with the most electoral votes is declared the winner and players lose or win money depending on how many votes they cast for the winning candidate over the course of the game. Three candidates are included in the mock election: Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton & Gary Johnson.
At any time, players can buy more in-game coins by sending bitcoins to the game's escrow account. For the first game, $5 worth of bitcoin has been donated to the escrow account to set the initial exchange rate. In EmpireCoin games, in-game currencies are pegged to another currency such as dollars or bitcoins. For Mock Election 2016, empirecoins are stored on the bitcoin blockchain but pegged to the US dollar.
At the end of the game, funds from the escrow account are split up and sent back to the players in proportion to the percentage of the in-game currency that they hold.
In this game, empirecoins experience an inflation of 10% per hour, for a total inflation of 983% by the end of the game. Then at the end of the game, the currency supply doubles and the new coins are given out to players in proportion to the amount of the votes that they had for the winning candidate.
In each state election, players can win coins by staking their coins on the candidate that they expect to win that state. For winning votes, players win a small number of free coins, but for losing votes, players do not lose any coins (except for transaction fees paid on their voting transactions). Unlike real elections, the candidate with the most votes does not always win the state election. Any candidate with greater than 50% of the votes at the end of the election is disqualified, and the candidate with the next most votes wins.
