quote: Originally posted by Kassiopeia Correct me if I'm wrong, but are we talking about this Air Force base with immense mineral production? My question is, this base will be very low on population and therefore there won't be a drone problem so big that any regular means (specialists, Rec Commons, Holo Theatres etc.) couldn't quell. So I see idea of building this PS useless, besides I find erecting them very immoral.

Yes, we are. However, unlike some others, I do not believe this base is workable as a size 1 talent base. The ease with which a foe could destroy a small base, thereby spreading the costs of (And drones caused by) these units around our bases is an unacceptable risk

Wormhunting and Psi Combat aren't likely to be much of a factor early in the game. As for Increased Efficiency, we'd actually be better served by being less efficient but pulling in more energy through Free Market. While under a Green economy there might be less wastage, under Free Market the sheer volume of energy that would be drawn in makes the slight wastage we might have (Remember, we'd be democratic as soon as we could take the support costs.) irrelevant.

quote: Originally posted by Kassiopeia The Psych rate is not the only way to prevent drone riots; besides, a base under riots can not produce a thing so I find preventing them a necessity.

I'm not saying that we shouldn't prevent them, only that it's probably not the DoSE's position to actually do that. As I said, it's not the DoSE's place to assign workers or build structures, though I would of course push for ones which would keep the citizens content.

I'm switching to running for Director of Industry and Energy from Director of Social Engineering.

As there's been talk of merging those two positions, I figured it'd be better for whoever ends up winning the SE Director spot could focus on just Social Engineering.

hmmmm should there not be a limit on how many times people can change the office they are running for. It seems people are switching just to be elected to anything.

The reason people are switching is that coalitions are forming and, slowly, we seem to be moving toward a 3-way race in many of the elections. Not saying whether that's good or bad, but that's what I see.

	Full PM-box? Change here!

Don't forget that we also need new nominations for Commissioner's office... I assume Crisler is at least running again, but it'd be nice to have everyone confirm their nominations.

Maybe we should start a new thread for the nominations, because technically this is not the 1st term, but second... unless the current term is "zeroth".

i would consider this the 0th term.

i believe this may have been discussed before, but IIRC the way they did it in Civ was nominations began on the 23rd or 24th of the month, went on for 4 days, and then elections ran from the 27th or 28th to the 30th or 31st. the new cabinet would begin play on the 1st.

sound good?

(maybe this is in the constitution, or Crisler could put it in his suggestions thread)

We just elected Commissioner and Alpha, which kind of makes this month the first term, and september would be the second term. The director nominations in this thread are in this sense for second term.

As a rival candidate I would like to know the same thing. As far as I can tell I would be surprised if armor is pushed unless someone helps it along a little.
