Who should control what to research?

Pedrunn · November 25, 2002, 18:58

Several people voted in the poll to decide the ministers the governement our DG will have.

But some stuff is being discusses and our dividing our community.
One of this stuff is to decide who should control the science and the next advance to research. The only work this minister will have is to start a poll about it some turns before the end of the current research since this should be chosen by the community. Still who should be encharged of it.

Here is a summary of the ministery of our government and their function (I have propositaly not added the science in any of the positions) so that you can decide in which position we should add the control of science.

President
- government type
- Running the game

Minister of Defense
- Military Units except unconventional units

Minister of Domestic Affairs
- City build orders
- City Management, specialists
- City placement/naming, settlers

Minister of Infrastructure
- Terraforming/Infrastructure

Minister of Trade, Science and Diplomacy
- Trade
- Diplomacy
- Unconventional units

I voted for the Minister of Infrastructure

Minister of Infrastructure too, if only to make sure we get a solid result this time. I think if we have a poll on the next tech to research it doesnt matter so much.

Minister of Infrastructure barely gets anything recognizing
i hate to be him
never a hero.....

Gilgamensch · November 26, 2002, 02:57

As I want to have a solid result I voted MoI.

I still would normally give to MoDaT....... He hasn't got so much to do either............

Agreed. It doesn’t really matter who gets it, they’ll just be a puppet to our whims

– the community will decide after-all. Minister of Infrastructure.

Gilgamensch · November 27, 2002, 11:46

DoT,

give them some freedom...... They are not our slaves, they are just our servants.......(don't really know where the difference is, but .......)

HuangShang · November 27, 2002, 13:14

lol

centrifuge · November 28, 2002, 05:23

Just a thought, but shouldn't the minister of trade, SCIENCE (ahem SCIENCE

), and diplomacy decide where our scientific efforts are warranted?

Lemmy · November 28, 2002, 05:46

What centrifuge said..

Don't let the one line under MoInfra mislead you, that job, terraforming, takes a lot more time then what the MoTSD has to do now. The DoInfra will be actually the on building up our empire, cities are nothing without farms/mines etc...
And now also giving the DoInfra the power over science is too much IMO.

Lemmy · November 28, 2002, 05:48

It's not just a poll btw, if we're going to have turnchats, and by some reason the poll results become invalid (we traded for all the techs that were polled, or there is a tie), the Minister has to decide what to research next.

HuangShang · November 28, 2002, 14:08

well, Minister of Infrastructure is still winning...

Lemmy · November 29, 2002, 07:01

yep...but there are always amendments possible

We'll have to see at the end of the first term how much the work the ministers have doing their jobs, and then maybe change some things...

Gilgamensch · November 29, 2002, 07:22

In the beginning none of them will really have a lot to do.......... OK, except the Supreme Commander, but otherwise ??????

And the good thing about us here, we can always agree on nothing, even later

We are 30 members with 33 opinions

Lemmy · November 29, 2002, 08:03

i don't know what our strategy will be, but i think MoDA and MoI will have some jobs to do, we need to know in advance how to name our cities, and where to put them, so as soon as the map is a bit explored, the MoDA can start polling.
If we have a stable PW rate, then the MoI also has to organize polls on what to build first, or at least start some discussions to see what the citizens want.

Gilgamensch · November 29, 2002, 08:40

Lemmy, that's were I suggested as a possible thread, where everyone can post a suggestion (now assuming 30 members), after 30 posts (each member one), we start from the top again. Would be a fair solution and we wouldn't have any problem with names

Edit: Typos, time for the weekend

H Tower · December 1, 2002, 01:22

it really doesn't matter too much who runs it, all the minister really needs to do is present what techs are available and have the people choose from among them in a poll. it's quite easy from my experience

Pedrunn · December 1, 2002, 15:54

five days already. A run-off poll on its way

Vote Here from now on
