ELECTION: Director of Base Production

[DeathByTheSword]

options are:

Makahlua
ABSTAIN
Write-in

this is the place where to ask questions:***

[Pandemoniak]

No thread for debates linked to this poll, so I shall ask my question here :
Makahlua, what would you think of changing the poll system used by your predecessor, Vlad ? You could put one thread/poll for each base, with an option for each thing that can be constructed - or at least the main things, ie now : Scout, Former, Cp, Sps, etc...
Then the build queue would be made according to the descending number of votes.
All you would have to do would be to repoll it after each turnchat for confirmations. What do you think ?

MrWhereItsAt was his precessor.

*cough* Cold will strike soon.

[Pandemoniak]

OOps. Edited.

[Makahlua]

-Her- predecesor, actually

That does sound like a reasonable plan, Pandemoniak - especially as we get more bases, it would be better to keep them seperate. Would you want newly founded bases to have a kind of 'default' queue to get started, something like def. unit/rectanks/2nd def unit/former? All subject to emergency changes, of course but that could smooth the setup for the commisioner

[Pandemoniak]

When we will have many bases, we'll elect governors. And i dont think there should be a default queue for starting base, since it would quite "standardize" our base. This should be polled though, IMHO.

[DeathByTheSword]

i ofcourse like a general queue but how would it looks like your predecessor tried it too but failed a little bit IF i recall corretly

[Makahlua]

Maybe if we offer some of that fungal wine from the rec commons afterwards, more people will want to vote?

[DeathByTheSword]

bribery......coool

[Pandemoniak]

I suggest another thing : the new DoBP post a poll with the main options for the general build queues, and a priority.
Example :
Garrison Priority 1
Garrison Priority 2
Garrison Priority 3
Garrison Priority 4
Former Priority 1
Former Priority 2
Former Priority 3
Former Priority 4
Former Priority 5
CP Priority 1
CP Priority 2
CP Priority 3
CP Priority 4
CP Priority 5
REcycling Tanks Priority 1
etc..
Then u calculate the average priority for each option, and make ur build queue.
Is that clear ?

[DeathByTheSword]

liking the idea!

[Makahlua]

*nods* Ah, I see! We're just asking the general populace what priority they would give each thing in a new base and then finding a happy medium. Me like

[Pandemoniak]

Great !

Oops! With names like Kassiopeia around here, I have no idea anymore how to judge the gender of people...

I don't understand this and am awaiting clarification. But I am sure it was hihgly complementary.

[Maniac]

Weren't you the previous BP director? Pandemoniak thought Vlad. Or does precessor instead of precedessor/predecessor a meaning I as non-native Anglosaxon do not understand??

[Method]

AFAIK, precessor isn't a word (unless they changed the language while i wasn't looking )

[Kassiopeia]

"precession: noun slow movement of axis of spinning body around around another axis; such change causing equinoxes to occur earkuer in each successive sidereal year."

So I guess the word that was sought after was 'predecessor'.
