The Merchant Exchange

GT, don't listen to Maniac Others of the P4 have mentioned the same line of thought directed at me... EDP doesn't have to agree with everything CDC says, even if we are part of a coalition.

[Maniac]

I'm sorry, but you guys, you as well FlameFlash, seem to have more in common with P4 than with CCCP for example. Wouldn't it be logical then to cooperate more with P4 and leave the CDC coalition? You would still stay an independent party.

Tell me, what is the most important thing keeping you away from P4 and keeping you attached to the CDC/CCCP? We can then discuss about that?

[FlameFlash]

Adam, GT, looks like we need to talk...

But then, there's nothing pulling us from the CDC either... they respect the fact that we may have differing views...

I'll think more on it...

my response

I've responded to Maniac's points; since my reply deals more with party relations than with economics, I've posted it on the EDP thread.

I'm a little confused...does ANYONE else want Free Market early? Early, when we don't have the base sizes that would make drones a problem??

*Raises hand* Yup.

I'd personally like to see FM put in place as early as possible, switching to Demo only once we've reached critical mass, and switching back and forth between FM and Planned whenever we need and can sustain a short period of rapid growth.

My economic planning therefore is basically

Free Market -> Free Market/Wealth -> Demo/Free Market Wealth (Demo/Planned/Wealth for pop boom) -> Demo/Free Market/Knowledge (Demo/Planned/Knowledge for pop boom) -> Demo/Green/Knowledge/Eudaimonia OR Demo/Free Market/Wealth/Cybernetic

[Anodyne]

Actually, CDC has quite differring Economical view, although most other points are similar.

At least me and Kass from LSD see Free Market as a viable alternative.

by the second pop boom, won't we be at the cloning vats, or at least near it?

One would hope so, however you never really know in these sorts of games. Remember that we've already lost some significant turn advantage in this first term with the CDC canditates getting in. In any case, it's better to assume for now that we won't have it, just in case we do actually miss it.

At least the concept of "alternative options" fits in our vocabularies

At least the concepts of "turn advantage" and "common sense" fit in ours.

can't we all just get along?

Say what you will, but I'll always know that my penis is significantly larger than yours.

[Method]

take it to the rec commons you guys...the merchant exchange is no place to talk about your c*ck

[Anodyne]

It's a chain reaction. But I'll stop it. Sorry.

[FlameFlash]

Thank you TKG... though I doubt that kind of talk is very... recreational...

Thanks for the response Adam... I'll join you in the EDP offices...
