How voting works

Three builds. One winner. Every episode.

Every episode opens with a real choice: three build options, pulled from the Catalogue below. Reply to the pinned comment on YouTube with the option's word — that's the whole action.

The rules
What stays true every week

The treasury has to cover all three options — this vote is never about affordability, only about what matters first. Whichever loses goes back on the board and can be voted in later. Nothing is lost by losing.

Where to actually vote: the pinned comment on that week's episode has the current three options and the exact word for each. This page explains the rule; the video has this week's real choice.
One vote per person, per episode Casting a vote earns you +10 Council XP
The Prophecy

Call it before it happens

Every episode banks one prediction about the homestead. It's scored on camera the next episode — including when the Steward is the one who's wrong.

🔒 New each episode
This week's question lives on YouTube

A new Prophecy opens with every episode — check the pinned comment on the current video for this week's actual question and how to call it. Correct calls score +10 Council XP, open to every citizen, whether you voted that week or not.

The syntax never changes
PROPHECY: your call
Start a separate comment with PROPHECY: so the Tally can tell your call apart from your vote. PROPH: and PRO: also work.
† The Lost Doe
May 2026 — a predator reached the hutch. Recorded, because it happened. Losses go in the Chronicle exactly like wins do; a ledger that only records the good days isn't a ledger.
