ACE-Apolyton Coaliton for Expansion

Science and Intelligence are two very important factors for the SSK, if we would all support TKG as Director of Science, and me as Director of Explore/Intelligence, we would be more sure to have someone "we" want in those positions.
I don't think i would stand a high chance for Dir. of Science now, with a small coalition, and the Commisioners support already going to TKG.
So, Chrisler, would you support me as Dir. of Explore/Intelligence?

I can't speak for Crisler, but you'd have my support. So far there's only one candidate besides yourself.

Are you guys willing to eliminate any faction that may be in those prime spots that everyone is so eager to grab? You want to get the rovers out there and moving, which is wonderful, but are you prepared to remove another faction if we run upon them? If you are then you better be prepared to delay production and some of the non military research if we happen upon Yang and his merry men or Santiago and her cheery crew. Hopefully we will land on a landmass far enough away from other factions, but there is always that chance that we won't.

Flexibility and Mobility should be given high priority so we can get out there and start getting map data. That way the third and fourth colonies can be prepared carefully. Of course as director of Peackeeping forces i would be more than happy to have military units support in exporation 100% until we meet up with another faction. I may not be from your coalition but at least I have not changed my views many times before mearly to be elected. A Vote for me is not a vote for the other party or coalition, but a vote for an independent thinker and a servent to the people.

The key here is to make sure our parties agenda can still go forward. I have spoken with both M@ni@c and TKG, both have very similiar ideas for the early game to our own thoughts. They are prepared to bend a bit in our direction for the support we need for the rapid expansion.

Lemmy, I feel that it is a very good idea for you to run for the position of Exploration/Intelligence. You will have 100% of my backing for that position. We need to make sure we hold it since it is vital to our plans.

Gentlemen of ACE, in the early rounds many share our ideas for rapid expansion. As such we are able to compromise a bit on various positions to get our people into some places. We can allows other coalitions to take a few positions because of this similiarity. Through basic political manuvering we are able to help them get their positions, use their similiar philosophies and maintian the early game plan we have already agreed to.

This elcection for First Commissioner has shown that NO single coalition has a clear majority. As such it is vital we be prepared to work with others to some degree to make sure we get the agenda we want. Voting strict party line by ANY coalition will result in the inability to effectively work within the goverment we are forming.

I have had a proposal brought to me that I am referring to this council. I was approached by a member of P4's leadership on the possibility of forming an early game coalition. Basically they would like to consider splitting the Cabinet positions between P4 and ACE. We would negotiate which positions each party would actuial take and then provide full backing to the candidate.

I feel this should be discussed, while not an ideal situation it is one that could lead to better outcomes in some of the upcoming elections.

i think that could work, only 2 positions need to be resolved
Director of Social Engineering and Director of Foreign Affairs

[Maniac]

I'm currently negotiating with my party members. Expect results tomorrow.

a split, huh? thats cool with me, but i dont know how the independents will react.

Lemmy: you got my vote. However, isn't Secret of HB 1 tech away for a certain faction IIRC?

Leland: No apoligies necessary, it's all good I agree with what you say.

Crisler: Your suggestion sounds good. Like I say, the more positions we fill early, the more influence we have on the games style. Saying that, I think the most important positions are definatly Director of Military (DirMil), DirSci, and DirBase. Do we have candidates who have given a vision for these yet?

[Andemagne]

what is ACE's policy towards early game SPs(Weatherparadigm, Command Nexus and Citizen's Defence Force)? all out expancion or some SP's also?

hehe, you're right, i tried a couple of games as the unp, none of those times i was first to reach SotHB.

[gopher]

Yeah, I know what you mean. I am usually a Hive or UoP player myself.

[Crisler]

I have been trying to play Hive lately and to be honest I can just got get the hang of it.

[jdd2007]

[Lemmy]
