Cutthroat Politics be true to the name
Technically, we will. We will play minigames and transmute the rewarded tokens to votes.
When I say battle… I mean massive all of out War between the players. First to down the opposing candidate wins the channel (one point for the candidate). There is no respawning. Once dead, you stay dead. I just think it would be hilarious to watch/do.
It’s not beyond the realm of possibility that something similar to this (some sort of combat) may evolve from this content.
THEORY: “Voting” is just an activity Anet is putting forward with this content, there will be no true winner as the story will evolve with one side (either Evon or Human Separatists) rigging the election and claiming the victory. Player Hero will of course, investigate the rumors of the rigged election, find evidence and present it to the Council. The results will be a huge rift that could result in something similar to the OPs suggestion…..100% speculation.
Fate is just the weight of circumstances
That’s the way that lady luck dances
