Options are :

• Simple
• Planned +1 Industry / +2 Growth / -2 Efficiency
  +1 industry : mineral costs -10%
  +2 growth : +20% faster growth (at +6, this is popbooming, meaning each base with a Children's Creches)
• Free Market +2 Economy / -5 Police / -3 Planet
  +2Eco : +1 energy per square and per base
  -5 police : no police units can be used, 2 drones per military unit out of borders
  -3 planet : higher ecodamage, no production on fungus.

Abstain

A 50%+ vote is needed to change the SE.

This poll will last three days.

Voted planned as well, but we need to get a handle on our current population first. What we need right now is...

Spoiler:

you don't want to know....

why isn't green up there? do we not have the tech yet?

[Drogue]

Don't think we do. Does Deirdre have it for trade? If not I think it's high on our list to research.

[Pandemoniak]

We dont have it yet, we'll discover Green in 9 turns with wealth, 7 turns with knowledge or FM knowledge and 5 turns with FM knowledge.
Only Zakharov has Centauri Empathy at the moment.

New poll will be made as soon as we discover Green.

FM - let's get enough cash to buy up all we need and expand dramatically, then a change to Planned for the popboom.

Let's go people - FM - give it a try

ha! As good advise doesn´t work with you FM-junkies, I voted for FM! Switch, and watch what you´ve done! The mindworms will overrun each city, one by another, except these that disbanded themselves during drone riots!
Ok, perhaps I exxagerated that a bit...
I think we can have a SHORT time of cash and science boom under FM, and then switch immediatly to GREEN. It should have highest priority!
Nevertheless I don´t like FM and would go for planned in RPG. Unfortunately the gave doesn´t represent an ideal communism system so INGAME FM is good for a short time.

Since when was I a FM "junkie"? I just want to see what happens, and have been more than convinced of its value by arguments such as Archaic's in the past. Although I have not subscribed to some of his ideas about this game, I am beginning to believe there is actually some unthinking anti-FM stance among many here, for some reason.

Give it a try, we can always hold an emergency poll to change out if we are in trouble, and I really think, if properly managed, FM could be a tremendous boon to us. If we wait too long into the game however, the option is lost from the sheer amount of riots/ecol damage we may do.

Results : stay Planned.
