I updated the amount of votes each person has, by role level.
If you join the site, you get 2 votes! Wow! Just a taste, but truly a participant in this strange machine of ours!
Everyone else gets 100 votes, except for trust level 4: they get 101, because they are a little more influential than you. Join their ranks and siphon their power!
This both answers how many votes each person gets, and why my other levels were silly: if I want people to participate in a weird weighted opinion/interest system, I can’t make the currency to play scarce. Now we all essentially have 100 things we are tracking, and hopefully that creates direction.
