make a separate thread, say DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS THREAD and PM Ming with the link asking him to top it.

13 pages?

Hello P4...

After much (well, actually, very little) persuasion from a certain member, I have decided to officially join P4.

Please note, however, that this does not mean that suddenly I will conform to everything P4 decides. Neither will I blindly vote for the candidates the party supports. P4 just seems to be making the most sense right now, and I did vote for quite a few P4 candidates in the last election (TKG and Archaic are the ones that come to mind, I'm not sure I was conscious of part alignment when voting, just the candidates' views). I have read through the thread twice (yes, all 13 pages), and so I'm rather familiar with P4's stand on issues. So I might as well say how I differ.

First, on Social Engineering, I might as well save us time and just refer you to Archaic's speech, which I believe is posted on page 5 of this thread. The only thing I disagree on is the use of a Punishment Sphere - I propose we have a full-fledged specialist base, not just the size 1 specialist alternative proposed. Crawlers will make this easy - just 4-5 crawlers on Condensors will get us to pre-Hab Complex levels, with an equal amount crawling Rocky mines (if we have a signifigant military force, more minerals would be needed). In addition, the wording on Democracy in the speech is clear, so I'll clarify at least my position: no Democracy early. We cannot give up the extra Support minerals until we have reached our critical mass - we cannot waste time in the early years on Democracy; the people need a strong, powerful government to guide them early on. I see a use for Planned only when we wish to enter an era of incredible growth, soon after Automation or Environmental Economics.

I am completely against atrocities, Punishment Spheres included. We will fight our battles, whether they be domestic rioting or full-fledged war, "civilly" (seems an odd word to describe it ).

So, until I find my views straying terribly from P4's, I would like to be part of the party.

well Z7, i just tried out the running market early on in SP (used morgan, and had no choice since he can't run planned) and it got my research rate down to 5 turns in 2150. while this proves it works, i still think we should go for planned anyway (nobody else will be for it).

well, if we skip ethical calculus for later, then once we have demo, most of our expansion should be finished and thus who cares about 10 free minerals. i had no problem even with morgan's -1 support. in fact, morgan might just be my new favourite faction (but don't tell pandemoniak! as far as he's concerned, i still like the UoP better )

...or not at all (barring late solutions like Cloning Vats and Eudaimonia) if you're not running SMAC in SMAX ...

Sorry I don't have time to write up much on various things, I'm tired .

EDIT: With Zak or Lal, I do like Democracy/Planned/Wealth Golden Ages

I'm going to hop in and welcome Thud too... as well as advise you, Thud, to stop by the EDP thread, there's some discussion going on about a merger between P4 and EDP and you are certainly welcome to throw in your insights/suggestions.

mailing list for merger talks
As discussed in the EDP thread, many members of both our parties would like a mailing list to discuss merging the two. So, I've set up the 3D (Democrats for Discovery and Development) mailing list. Email me if you'd like to join (for most of you, that only means responding to the emails I've just sent out).

The Bloody Baro: Sorry if I missed you in sending out emails. You came between the members who signed up on the first two pages and the two new members, so I might very well have missed you. You should be added to the group now, though.

I'll be making TKG the moderator eventually, if we decide to keep the mailing list, but I want to make sure we have everyone first so that I don't make him do all the work involved. I'll be sending out an email later tonight with a digest of the list traffic that's gone on so far; members can also find an archive at the URL TKG has posted.

About registering with Yahoo: I don't like it either, but Yahoo has bought eGroups, which was the only listserv provider I knew of back when it still existed. They didn't make you register, but Yahoo does. Hopefully it's not too much of a hassle.

we could keep the mailing list for inter-party polls! other than that though, posting on poly or PMs are better because IMO it's easier to understand and less complicated (also, you get +1 )

registering with yahoo isn't a big deal, just IMO unnecessary. can't see how it would possibly be bad though.

I never had to register to Yahoo... as long as you're invited you don't have to... just use your regular e-mail address... that's what I'm doing.

And be sure to keep the message or remember the way to post there... then you don't ever have to log onto yahoo.
