political parties?

[AdamTG02]

Social engineering

While I can't speak for the EDP, as new members may disagree with me on social engineering issues, this is what I personally would tend to favor early on:

Democracy for early growth
Planned for more growth and to offset Democracy's support costs
Knowledge for research and efficiency

After our population is fairly established, I would advocate switching to Green for paradigm economy, so that we can devote all available funds to research. I'd also eventually support Eudaimonia to get the invaluable +2 Econ bonus and regain some of the lost growth.

All in all, this is sounding a lot like the CCCP, at least early on. Maybe our parties could work out some sort of coalition arrangement?

[Kassiopeia]

Whoa. So many parties. I really do think that a party should have, say, a certain percentage of the registered D-game members in it's ranks before it's in any way official. If we have twenty members, then two per party (10 percent), if we have one hundred, then ten per party. We could modify the percentage of course, but what I'm trying to say is that we should avoid situation where we have dozens of parties roaming around. They are pretty ineffective, and do not form any 'bloc's that could actually make something pass or shift the votes in a poll.

[DeathByTheSword]

i agree and i think 10% is pretty good that means no more then 10 parties. and you ofcourse do not have to be a member of a party if you do not want to but it could be handy

[Kassiopeia]

Well like in RL, if you can become the candidate of some very large party, you can guarantee some votes with that. And if the smaller parties don't co-operate, the large one(s) will overwhelm them. That's politics.

[Anodyne]

RL?

Yep, some smaller parties might have "election-alliances" and so forth...

and, to put it short, I'll explain some of the principles of LSD

Game-wise, our ideologies aren't too far from those of P4 or EDP.
What would be our SE-preferences are:
Democracy
Free Market / Green (which ever suits the current situation best)
Knowledge (flexible on both other choices if the situation requires so)
Eudaimonia

...Hmh. I'm feeling quite sleepy now. I will i will i will i will post more about LSD when I feel more fit for the job.

btw, could someone post all the Future Society SE-choices and what they do! It's so long since I last played that I don't remember them all correctly...

Here there are Ade :

Cybernetic : +2 efficiency / +2 planet / +2 research / -3 police / The SP "Network backbone" cancel the malus of -3 police

Eudémonia : +2 economy / +2 growth / +2 probe / -2 morale

Psychic control : +2 morale / +2 police / +2 probe / - 3 support / The SP "Cloning vats" cancel the malus of -3 support

Edit : Thanks for the precisions TKG

[Kassiopeia]

Hmmm. I might join LSD (Green wing).

Lets sum up :

There's the Fundamentalist Party : one member unti now, CRISLER. They support God's words.

There's the Liberal Social Democrats, LSD, led by ADE. Their social agenda doesnt seem very clear to me.

There's the Poly Party of Progress and Prosperity, P4, led by M@NIA@C, joined by DBTS.

There's the Exploration and Discovery Party, led by ADAM

There's the Capital Party, dedicated to Free Market and Trade, led by MR. PRESIDENT

There's the Centaurist Democrats, ecologist and democrats, led by DARKNESS EDGE.

There's the EE party (Eradicate Everyone). I forgot who leads it.

Since no party attracts me enough, Ill found my own : this is the Centauri Communist Citizen's Party (aka CCCP). Since Communism failed wherever it has been applied on Earth, we take Planet as a new chance. We (well, Im the only memeber until now, but whatever) support democracy, planned, knowledge and eudaimonia. Our goal is to take this second chance, and to create the first totally democratic, devoted to citizen's happiness, and marxist party. CCCP.

COMMUNISM FAILED FOR A REASON!

nevermind. for some reason, my post came several hours after juliennew's even though it didn't show up to me until after i posted this.

thought control is -3 support IIRC

[jdd2007]

the HAWK PARTY is open for bussiness! it was quite successful in the c3dg, and i thought some people might be interested here too.

I could have said that. could this be a party for me?.....

No one said the party would mindlessly declare war on everyone. The party would do whatever fit it best in the situation... ie pact with a faction to destroy another then backstab pact brother afterwards.. We will even go as far as to using the dreaded planet buster if it is nescessary to complete our ultimate goal!

...but no. they have no HONOR. :
