Bringing this thread back to life;
Here's a voting system that will break stalemates.
Regular members vote for 1
Trusteds for 2
TOWN Mayors for 3
CITY Mayors and Council for 4
Leader for 5
Y/N votes, side with most wins. This gives everyone a say, but more influence to the higher ranking. There should be a base minimum of 10 points total votes to make sure that one person can't just start a vote and win it automatically. Town-based votes can be started by regular members, global(Gaia-wide) votes started by Trusted members.
Basic jist of it.
