Military mayor should be based on monthly PvP score

Disagree with the score part, agree with ffa being a shit way to determine it. But I think the best way would be to combine the two.

Pvp score should be a part of the champion's power (probably 30-40% overall). The rest of the power should come from daily and weekly bracket pvp, with weighted distribution. And then at the end of the election cycle you get a seeded bracket (size depending on the lvl of the node) that leads into a winner/loser brackets and at the end the top loser (who lost their first fight, but then won all the other fights against other losers) gets a chance to win against the top winner.

This way you get the "they can pvp in the open world", you get "they need to keep pvping in the open world, so that their champ gets more power every day to use in the daily/weekly arena" and you get "they're great at semi-equalized pvp of the arena champions" (which should be the most skill-based pvp gameplay in the game).

The weekly and the election arena fights should be watchable by other people, so that you get entertainment for the people. A lvl6 military node election would be the biggest monthly event on the server, would pull a ton of people to the node, bring money to the traders there, and the mayor would be known as the biggest pvper on the server.

Just doing "your top score = you're the mayor" is not only highly abusable, but also super boring.

I saw it more of a

• you register for it when you log in
• the bracket gets set up at the same time every day during prime time
• you get a visible and hanging notification 20 mins before the fighting begins, so that you can prepare yourself
• you get teleported to the arena for a 5min fight (less if ends quicker)
• if you lose - your daily is finished
• if you win - you keep going
• at most it'd be ~an hour of arena for the strongest players in the node

Yeah, point distribution to allow some builds and metas would be nice. It could even change week to week, so there'd be a flow to the overall meta. Giving the "change your build" token for the participation in the weekly bracket would also make people participate there.

These points contradict themselves. If pvp score directly determines whether you'll become a mayor - people will feel like they NEED to pvp every single day, except instead of "I spend <60m a day fighting in great pvp" they'll be running around like headless chickens looking for pvp to up their score. And what would more likely happen is that quite a lot of people will just start abusing the score system, make alts to pvp, ask friends to die to them, etc etc.

Like I said, the queue is building up for several hours of primetime, so there'll be no waiting in the end. If you have to log off, that the same as losing a day of getting more pvp score, so nothing special. I also said that weekly/daily arena would be weighted, so missing a few dailies would not impact your power all that much.

Afk players would lose in their first 5min match and that's it. The 5 min is the fight timer, it wouldn't be unlimited time fights, because fuck that. Even at 1k registered people in a single node, if you win all your matches that's only 1h out of your day, where you're free to concede at any point and just leave.

This is way freer than spending an hour running around hoping to find some pvp, but then not being able to escape it if you need to. But it also allows you to do both, which is why I said that you'd get a notification way before the fighting starts, so that you can disengage from your current content and get ready to be TPed out. Your character would disappear, but you'd return to the same place after the arena.
