How many citizens do we have? We could count the voting percentage

According to the political party thread we have 50 citizens (though I think this number is off).

Here is an update of what directorships CDC members are vying for:

Commissioner: Darkness' Edge (CD)
Alpha Talent: ---
Directory of Terraforming and Colonization: Pandemoniak (CCCP)
Directory of Science and Technology: Voltaire (LSD)
Directorty of Peacekeeping Operations: ---
Directory of Foreign Affairs: Ade (LSD)
Directory of Energy and Industry: ---
Director of Expansion and Terraforming: ---
Director of Social Engineering: Kassiopeia (LSD)
Director of Exploration and Intelligence: ---

If I missed anyone please just post it on the CDC topic, and also plenty of positions are vacant so if anyone wishes to run for them you are encouraged to do so.

[Kassiopeia]

I've decided to run for Director of Social Engineering. It's uncontested for now so your support might not be needed.

[Leland]

It is not uncontested... Vlad AntlerKov (independent, associated with ACE I think) has nominated himself to the position.

[Voltaire]

In the Commissioner poll the Fundamentalist Faction is catching up to our candidate, if everyone hasn’t voted yet I suggest you do so.

Well this is an interesting turn indeed; so we'd have the Democrats (us), the Capitalists (Capital party and possibly P4), ACE, the rest.

we actually havn't even begun discussing with mr pres yet. besides we'd support green once we get eudaimonic

Must've slipped my eyes then.

I don't remember seeing him nominate himself in the nomination thread....Maybe I should check again. Edit: Checked again.

Also, has anyone noticed that CDC also stands for the american "Centers for Disease Control". Could there be a relation?

[FlameFlash]

As an update (from EDP) we're currently considering all coalition proposals that have been made... we got quite a few, and will probably be making a decision shortly.

[AdamTG02]

A majority of the EDP have voted to join the Chiron Democracy Coalition.

In pursuit of intra-coalition cooperation, I am willing to withdraw from the Director of Science position and support Academician Voltaire. However, I'd like assurance that he will support Explore and Discover technologies when no other pressing interests are at stake.

[FlameFlash]

If the CDC will still have us... the voting is in among our party and we agree that it would be best for us to join CDC.

Also, I've thrown my hat into the ring for Minister of Exploration and Intelligence.

[FlameFlash]

Adam, we think way too much on the same lines... Even posting at the same times.

Perhaps I can get input on the Exploration and Intel director slot from everyone now as well, though.

(Adam, check my post in our thread.)

what are CDC's views on running democracy/planned/wealth early on to encourage industrial and population growth? as director of science i'd be willing to beeline to the appropriate techs. (perhaps this has been gone over previously though. either a link or a response?)

[AdamTG02]

Personally, I support a more balanced research distribution rather than beelining to social engineering techs. My personal priorities are Explore and Discover techs, as well as getting Secrets of the Human Brain early to speed research However, going by any one plan in tech research tends to marginalize those who disagree with the plan. If I become Science Director, I intend to poll before every tech, to give the minority in the last poll the opportunity to form a majority in the next one. (I'm not implying that you wouldn't poll, only that polling before every tech would tend to make long-term plans problematic.)

On another topic, the P4 has said in the party memberlist thread that they favor a single Punishment Sphere, supporting most of our offensive units at that base. Is there a general CDC consensus against Punishment Spheres?
