What is as Cycle?

In Kurate, gameplay is broken up into 8 hour time slots called “Cycles”. The beginning and end of a Cycle hold significance, and overall that the Cycle exists (and is finite), encourages Players to “act”.

Significance of Cycles:

  • When a Post is submitted, it is immediately subject to Curation.
  • Curation of a post (voting) lasts up to 1 Cycle. For posts submitted Mid-Cycle, Curation lasts the remainder of that Cycle.
  • At the end of each cycle, votes are tallied. Posts voted to Promote graduate to the main Persona page. Demoted posts are deleted.
  • GO is reset at the end of each Cycle. All GO unused during the Cycle is burned. 30 new GO is given to each Player.
  • REP is allocated and re-calculated at the beginning of each Cycle
