No, I just wanted a debate on the issue, because the situation had changed so much since the original discussions. ATM, with Knowledge/Wealth and the situation at the moment, IMO we have to ask which is more important. +1 Industry, or a tech rate of 1 turn better with perhaps the potential for more drone control thanks to Efficiency, and the better Morale. Really, it depends on how much we intend to expand and/or go to war in this term.

Ok, so you can see about drone riots. Why should he post them. This is a direct comparison between FM and Planned, or Knowledge and Wealth, therefore why should he include changes in Psych spending to it? Or he could add 10 or 20% psych to Planned and show it. There are many different combinations of psych spending and SE settings, should he include them all, so that we're flooded with information? No, of course not, but where do you draw the line. I think he provided enough information in the pol thread, and then went beyond the call of duty to show extra information in a different thread about SE settings. If you have more facts you wish to use to show that FM is good, then by all means post them yourself. As DSE, Pande posted more information than the constitution declares he must, and was unbiased when quoting it. He even added the 20% psych to FM to show the effect that would have, as you suggested. He could just give us the direct SE effects and let us poll that way if he felt like it.
And you may have had a shaky connection, yet your decision not to post a Knowledge poll, or start a discussion aboutn it, while still posting 2 FM polls, shows obvious bias to me, and did not sit well with many people. So please, stop trying to make excuses and argue that it is because of Pande's agenda that FM isn't chosen. There was far more evidence of bias in your decisions as DSE than there are in Pande's.

No one has tried to promote FM without 20% Psych. He was giving a choice to people between FM without any psych spending (Something NO ONE WANTS) and Planned. Comparing something you want to something even your loudest opponents don't want. Hmmmmmm......

1) There was no recent discussion about Knowledge
2) You or anyone else was free to post a discussion at any time. I don't have to prod you.
3) The first FM poll was invalidated because of the change in the consitution, which is the only reason I posted a 2nd.

Yes, but comparing like with like. I understand that it was good that he did show it with 20% psych, and I don't knock him for that at all, but he needn't go any further. And to say nobody wants it at any different psych level? Maybe not vocally, but I doubt nobody does.

Yes, but then you can start a poll to start discussion, an unofficial poll etc. And there was discussion, there were many calls to change, without reprise. That should have told you something. It was your duty as DSE to carry out the will of the people, and to find the will of the people. We didn't start a poll because we had already discussed and decided upon our views. This is further evidenced by looking at this thread, where even during the poll, nobody feels the need to discuss the merits of the options, as we have already all decided. I'm aware of the reasons why there were two FM polls, but having time for 2 polls for something and none for anything else, I think that shows where your priorities lie.

Do we actually have anything in danger, or is there just the possibility that a distant Yang could get angry at us? Remember, we could always hold an emergency poll and change to something more Morale-favouring at the drop of a hat if we need to.

+2 Econ is good, but if we went to FM as you said, we wouldn't need the extra +1 from Wealth. I'd rather get the research and efficiency bonus from Knowledge. If we could get GA easily, Wealth looks pretty good, but that isn't the case ATM. |
Fair enough, but this argument only applies if we were going to FM, which we, for some reason, aren't.
