Greetings, Comrades! This is the thread for the Department of Social Engineering! I, your Magna Frater, will update this thread with the most relivant information regarding the social structure of The Hive.

Octavian X · August 14, 2003, 00:31

The Manga Frater currently requests a list of The Hive's current social engineerings choices, for use in planning future choices.

I reccommend we run Police State, Planned and Wealth

Or was that Fundi, Free Market and Power?

Nope, definitly the first 3.

Works for me. Any other comments? Does someone want to tell me which choices we currently have?

Snowflake · August 14, 2003, 16:40

Police State and Planned, I think. Or have we switched to Planned yet?

Jamski · August 14, 2003, 18:22

Police, Planned and Wealth, IIRC

Thank you for the information.

In other news, I am pleased to announce the creation of a new banner to represent this department. It may be seen at the top of this thread. The central image is one of many provided by Comrade Voltaire here to reprsent the various offices.

As more departmental threads open up, I will start taking requests for similar banners (if anyone even likes the first).

Can you make a Jamski Clovek Flag?

Octavian X · August 16, 2003, 06:47

A new banner has been sent via PM.

Jamski · August 16, 2003, 09:41

Freemarket, democracy and Wealth, at the time we're working on golden ages to make our popluation boom?

That will give us +2 economy overall with the golden age. What do people think. Perhaps it's not viable because it's 40ECs to change each government setting.

Octavian X · August 17, 2003, 01:10

Admittedly, all that change does sound expensive...

Vev · August 17, 2003, 05:16

except for the democracy thing, that Hive cannot do.

Jamski · August 17, 2003, 06:17

And freemarket will put all our bases into Drone riots, and still not give us the magic +1 energy per square.

Nice idea though

-Jam

Kody · August 17, 2003, 09:09

Freemarket doesn't cause drone riots if you're in golden age, and it gives us the +1 energy if we're in golden age.

Octavian, so what's your opinion on running power instead of wealth.

Jamski · August 26, 2003, 03:22

And how do you want to get the HIVE into golden age without using any police?

Not to mention that the only reason we want to run a GA is to pop-boom, and for that we need to run Planned for the +2 growth.

*sighs* The Hive really can't run FM....

-Jam

Kody · August 26, 2003, 03:29

Yeah I made a mistake. This is why I talk things out with other people.

Jamski · August 26, 2003, 03:33

You scamp, you just really really really like FM, don't you

-Jam

Kody · August 26, 2003, 04:06

Nope, I just really really like tech.

I've realised our biggest disadvantage is we will be lagging pretty badly in tech. Look at the drones who have -20% research, and they're researching far faster than we are.
