bump!

1st choice: automation
backup: splicing

	Put an end to popups!

My first choice is Flexibility. We need to start exploring the seas.

My second choice is Secrets, as a prerequisite for Centauri Empathy and the Empath Guild.

	Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations

CRAWLERS!

Second choice is Gene Splicing.

If for some reason we can't go after either, research DocFlex. (A foil or two would be nice.)

	Put an end to popups!

doctrine loyalty. I think if we start establishing a good defense early on, we won't have too many problems with worms and such later on....or maybe i just like Doctrine: Loyalty.

Flexibility. Who knows what wonders await us beyond the sea?

IndAuto as first choice easily.

Gene Splicing as 2nd, becuase it lifts Nut restrictions (tying in well with Maniac's desire for every base to have at least one multi-nut square) and (in my eyes most importantly) it allows EcoEng (mineral restrictions lifted), and ultimately Environmental Economics - TREE FARMS!

	Full PM-box? Change here!

I think the way we've been polling science advances is a little flawed.

IMHO, we should only have the one poll, and take the most popular two. Good choices are missing out, because people can't agree on whether it's a first or second choice.

	Got spare money?

bump

so, all techs listed once, but everyone votes twice? that was another way i was thinking of doing it, but forgot

	24-10-2002 21:37									#10
	Tired of ads?

I went for Flexibility and Splicing, as our good friend Morgan can be expected to go for automation without delay. We can then take that from him.

As for polling, I believe Darkness is saying we should all get one vote, and the two most popular choices are the primary and secondary.

	24-10-2002 21:48									#11
	Suffering from ads?

IndAuto - gotta have those crawlers, and would love to beat out Morgan to the PTS.

Second choice would be Flex to start finding the neighbors, and to get some sea-formers working!

that's how i did it in the beginning, there's a problem with that. if 15 people vote for TechA, and it's not available, and we have to go with the next best choice, which only has oh, 4 votes, then we lose out. if everyone picks two, then we won't have that problem

	Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

upon further thought, this way doesn't really work. a lot of people wanted flexibility, but it didn't even make backup

next time, i'll do it the other way

	Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

i know make ONE list of the techs BUT make the poll a multi poll and let people choice two this way it will work!

i know. that's what i meant

that's a better idea - like maki's city name poll
