	Foreign Faction Analyst wanted! Position open. Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

Would someone like the job of looking at the information that you can obtain from other factions.

Eg.

Right-Click faction profile, look at how their votes changes. Look at what government system each is running.

This can tell us how fast the other factions are growing and when they discover certain technologies that give those government systems.

For factions we have alliances, maybe the troop statstics screens, and information on the what they're building how long to they finish etc. Look to see how many military units they are supporting too.

This person that does this should probably be the intelligence agency.

I've been doing this a little, but it takes a long time.

By the way the drones aren't geared for war at all. They're just expanding their colonies just like we are.

Heh it also involves alot of spamming too. As each turn you check the other factions and see how they're going then tell us about it.

If you want to try it on for size now. You should open up the hive turn and start posting information into a new thread on other factions.

It's using the freely available information. Later in the game we may need 2 spymasters to trawl through all the information.

Also it's observing who logs on and off and trying to figure out when turns stall and what might have caused them.

This is something I would like to do, I would also consider this would be related to "assuming" there political intentions.

Instead of everyone saying they want the job. Why don't people actually open the game file and start copying the data down. Label the data with which turn you obtained the data and which faction it came from.

As this information is gathered we can see trends appearing, and start theroising what the other factions are up to.

The way I would do it would be two posts per turn, general information gathering, and information gained from the infiltration we get from pacting with the drones.

General - Votes, any special government settings, power graph estimates, who's who listing, listed alliances, credits.

Infiltration specific - go through each of the F2-F8 screens writing down any information on the Drones you think would be useful.

This is alot of work and the task may need to be split up between more than 1 person.

The ones that show they can do this effectively will most likely get the job.

You know when I first saw the thread title and saw that the first post was by Kody it almost gave me a heart attack, giving the background of the other post Kody made in the public forum. Then I realize that it was an old thread being bumped up.

I understand Kody your naming of team leaders etc was smartly used as a nudge so they would actually do something, but whenever you put on that control freak hat I just feel that I'm going to faint.

You worry too much. Still doing my best to avoid getting involved in any game play stuff.

I had a feeling that naming forum leaders might work. Often humans can't jump up and push the work on someone else fast enough.

Kody, understand one thing very good. I simply cannot take a modrole for the Angel Forum. This matter was already started being discussed among the Angels, thus was grossly premature.

This has nothing to do with shifting workloads to other peoples shoulders, but merely about being available for the team.

Kody's giving you a hard time, Geo. Deliberately, I'd say.

If you jump up for what he says, then you'd have fallen into his trap.

Pretty good, IMO. But it's the nominee's decision if there is already enough support or not. Attendance is barely half the members list sofar.

HongHu, I don't understand the first paragraph of your most recent PM. Are you thinking that I won't talk about something because you won't talk about something?

And for the above, I don't care for traps on a serious issue, only for how to let things work smoothly.

If he is the only candidate, I would say the decision is made. None of the factions has managed to have majority of members voting on that issue.
