Opening Pitch: What is DAOball?

Choice Entropy: Chaos vs Order

The every team decision shifts the Entropy balance and influences the experience’s choices and outcomes. Teams and players have to weigh the benefits and costs of each choice, from the way of Chaos to the way of Order

  • Chaos: Choices that prioritize self-interest, immediate gains, or disruptive strategies contribute to chaos. These actions might offer short-term advantages but can lead to unpredictable outcomes and a more volatile game environment.
  • Order: Decisions that benefit the collective, promote teamwork, or follow established strategies strengthen order. Such actions typically result in more predictable and stable outcomes, fostering a sense of community and shared success.
  • Community Impact: Every team decision, from strategic plays to interactions with other teams, tips the scales between chaos and order, influencing not just the immediate match but the game’s evolving narrative.
  • Balancing Act: Teams must navigate this spectrum wisely, balancing the allure of chaos with the stability of order to achieve their goals. The dynamic interplay between these forces makes DAOball a deeply strategic and engaging experience.
