Official: Tech #11

[Method]

we recently go planetary networks, industrial economics, and ethical calculus from our good friend morgan. this means we're due to another tech

bump!

1st choice: automation
backup: splicing

[AdamTG02]

My first choice is Flexibility. We need to start exploring the seas.

My second choice is Secrets, as a prerequisite for Centauri Empathy and the Empath Guild.

[Vlad Antlerkov]

CRAWLERS!

Second choice is Gene Splicing.

If for some reason we can't go after either, research DocFlex. (A foil or two would be nice.)

[Frankychan]

doctrine loyalty. I think if we start establishing a good defense early on, we won't have too many problems with worms and such later on....or maybe i just like Doctrine: Loyalty.

[Mr. President]

Flexibility. Who knows what wonders await us beyond the sea?

[MrWhereItsAt]

IndAuto as first choice easily.

Gene Splicing as 2nd, becuase it lifts Nut restrictions (tying in well with Maniac's desire for every base to have at least one multi-nut square) and (in my eyes most importantly) it allows EcoEng (mineral restrictions lifted), and ultimately Environmental Economics - TREE FARMS!

[Darkness' Edge]

I think the way we've been polling science advances is a little flawed.

IMHO, we should only have the one poll, and take the most popular two. Good choices are missing out, because people can't agree on whether it's a first or second choice.

bump

so, all techs listed once, but everyone votes twice? that was another way i was thinking of doing it, but forgot

[Thud]

I went for Flexibility and Splicing, as our good friend Morgan can be expected to go for automation without delay. We can then take that from him.

As for polling, I believe Darkness is saying we should all get one vote, and the two most popular choices are the primary and secondary.

[Earwicker]

IndAuto - gotta have those crawlers, and would love to beat out Morgan to the PTS.

Second choice would be Flex to start finding the neighbors, and to get some sea-formers working!

that's how i did it in the beginning, there's a problem with that. if 15 people vote for TechA, and it's not available, and we have to go with the next best choice, which only has oh, 4 votes, then we lose out. if everyone picks two, then we won't have that problem

[Method]

upon further thought, this way doesn't really work. a lot of people wanted flexibility, but it didn't even make backup

next time, i'll do it the other way

[DeathByTheSword]

i know make ONE list of the techs BUT make the poll a multi poll and let people choice two this way it will work!

[Method]

i know. that's what i meant
