Vote Maniac for Director of Terraformation and Colonization!!!

I have posted my ideas around many times.

Early game I personally stand for one heavy nutrient tile per base for the first worker, the others forest. I also give a high priority to creating a road network. I stand for thin expansion, so I give high priority to producing formers and CPs. Once we have crawlers, condensers to max nutrients on certain suitable tiles are also a good idea. This approach gradually changes once the production limits are gone, but that's not for right now. Besides, I believe the people have the word in deciding what to do. The Director is just their servant and his personal opinion is unimportant. More important is how good he is at organizing polls and referenda. A quote from yours truly:

Quote:

After some more thinking I'm with DE. The proposed system will create more and more complex polls compared to the system I'm currently using. Pandemoniak wants to reinstitute the system of polling every square of every base. Just like I have made some more general polls such as what should be the focus: nutrient/minerals and at what size should the focus switch, Pandemoniak should create some more general polls for his directorate. For example, he could make polls every month asking:

What should be the standard terraformation in the following tile:

rolling&rainy above 1000 metres, rolling&rainy below 100, flat&rainy above 1000... All those combinations with the option of farm&condenser, farm&solar, forest etcetera... The same can be done for rocky terrain and sea tiles etcetera. The Director should only have to do this once a month and can therefore concentrate on polling other matters such as colonization, special bonus tiles, how much former power to concentrate on what task... To know what tiles he should terraform first around a base, he could refer to the polls of D of IE regarding nutrient, mineral and in a while energy and specialists focus.

That's at least what I would do if I was D of TC. Less workload for the Director and less repititous polls but clear general decision making for the citizens.

So I would organize one poll in the beginning of the month to decide default actions for the most frequent tiles, and decide what actions to give priority based on the actions of the next D of IE, presuming s/he continues my style of polling. Furthermore, I would organize polls 1) for special tiles, 2) where to colonize and 3) where to use our formers.

When can I start a campaign thread?

dmm1285 · October 16, 2002, 13:42

do you support building boreholes?

Method · October 16, 2002, 15:12

whoa! slow down!
1) This thread is for nominations only

2) A debate thread will be started shortly for each directorate. post you question there

i'm not sure if/for what i will run yet, but i'll come back

Darkness' Edge · October 16, 2002, 21:31

I haven't made up my mind.
I'll most probably seek re-election as DoPO, but don't put me down for that yet, because I want to see what other nominations come in, and if any jobs aren't filled.

Archaic · October 17, 2002, 03:32

Director of Social Engineering, again.

Darkness' Edge · October 17, 2002, 06:29

Archaic has guts.

I'm not declaring my hand just yet..

lucky22 · October 17, 2002, 11:50

I'd like to stand for Director of Base Production again.

Kassiopeia · October 17, 2002, 14:40

I nominate AdamTG02 for Director of Social Engineering.

I can nominate someone else then myself, right? I'm sure Adam will agree.

AdamTG02 · October 17, 2002, 16:03

Thanks Kass.

I accept the nomination.

GeneralTacticus · October 18, 2002, 03:13

I'll run for reelection as Director of Foreign Affairs.

Lemmy · October 18, 2002, 03:37

Can someone run for office from prison?

GeneralTacticus · October 18, 2002, 03:54

When will you be released?

Lemmy · October 18, 2002, 04:18

Lemmy · October 18, 2002, 04:57

GeneralTacticus · October 18, 2002, 05:08

This is related to the, ah, 'incident' in the Rec Commons, isn't it?

Method · October 18, 2002, 07:18

i'll get you lemmy! that's my money!

/me shakes fist

i'll go for Director of Research again

Thud · October 18, 2002, 21:24

I'll give TKG a run for his money in the Director of Science position. Perhaps a post-enlightenment society will be more conductive to actually researching

.

Apocalypse · October 19, 2002, 01:53

Maybe I should run for Director of Science....

GeneralTacticus · October 19, 2002, 02:09

Thud: You need to sign up in the new Citizen Registry. We're trying to clean out the people who signed up and then vanished.

DeathByTheSword · October 19, 2002, 08:08

ok is thud running or not.....?

Method · October 19, 2002, 11:06

i don't see why he's not....

Darkness' Edge · October 19, 2002, 11:45

I've decided not to seek re-election.
If no one puts their hand up for a post, I will be happy to step in, but otherwise, I don't have much interest in serving.

I'm the sort of person who HATES getting into arguments with people. Although I'm not a bad debater (inter-school results prove that

), I hate having to argue.

These recent issues, mainly with Pan, have had me questioning my involvement in this game, and why it ceasing to become fun for me.

At least in the immediate-to-short term, I'll continue to run the CNN, and I'll serve out my post as judge, but these arguments are taking the fun out of this DG for me.

/me wonders why DE starts arguments then...

Maniac · October 19, 2002, 12:29

Oh great!

If this continues, we'll have no one left by the time this game ends...
