Games Really Nice @joey join my name septianuciha

Im in again "Mock Election 2016, Day 2" 

And how about fund escrow for this game @joey ??

Glad you like it.

Mock Election 2016, Day 2 is now online.  Please join here: http://empirecoin.org/mock-election-2016-day-2/
4 players have joined so far, we need 8 more to start the game. This game starts when 12 join, but of course any number can join even after the game is started.

I have switched target block time from 60 seconds down to 20 seconds.  That means that this time, the game should run for approximately 8 hrs and 20 minutes.

I have also switched the voting cap from 50% down to 45% for today's game, to give the 3rd position candidate some chance to win.

Players can buy additional in-game coins by clicking "Buy more empirecoins" once you are logged in.  BTC paid there go into the game escrow & you receive equivalent empirecoins based on the current EMP/BTC exchange rate for the game. This exchange rate is pegged to BTC based on the current BTC in escrow vs empirecoins in existence for the game, rather than being determined by market rates.

Setting an auto voting strategy is recommended to make sure that you vote in each round:

Yay!!!

Thanks @Joey

The candidate with the highest number of electoral votes wins.

Mock elections are held in each of the 50 states, with one candidate winning each state and receiving all electoral votes from that state.

Determining the winner within each state is a little bit more complex.  Currently the voting cap is 50% for each state election.  This means that 50% is the max any candidate can receive; anyone with greater than 50% of votes is eliminated, allowing the candidate with 2nd most votes to win that state.

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.

You can join this game for free right now and receive 500 empirecoins.  To sign up, please visit EmpireCoin.org
Or post in this thread and I will send you an invite by PM.
