Polls should be made w/o the Percents set..
like 'FM or Green' t
then followed by
'green 40 0 60, 30 0 70' etc.

The allocations are important parts of the proposal. I think, however, that some discussion would have been appropriate before the poll, so that people could decide what allocations they want for the different options.

In any case, I voted FM, the numbers are pretty clear, no?

If you have an RP argument for Green, that's your perogative (which will be disputed by Archaic in due course ). Otherwise, I think it's clear what gives us the most stuff to work with.

I can do a base-by-base analysis of the difference between the two options, if it would be helpful. Frankly, though, I think that more numbers are unnecessary.

[GeneralTacticus]

FM, of course. There's no reason to change from a system that is working perfectly as is to one which is inferior to it.

And btw, the income numbers for Gree are likely to be less than the ones presented, because it will end all GAs and thus reduce commerce and base income.

[Archaic]

Of course, the only way to se that is to play ahead a turn, which we can't do.

One also has to wonder.....anyone know what FM 30/20/50 and 50/20/30 would bring in? With everything below 50%, I'm not sure if there'd even be any inefficiency on that to boot.

[GeneralTacticus]

Well, you could factor that in roughly by subracting a few form the income of the bases in GA.

[Jamski]

I'd rather have Green with a bigger Psych allocation, but you can't have everything.

Now what would you expect the leader of STEP to vote for. Red, Blue Yellow, Pink, Brown, Orange, It would have been nice to have the freedom to swing 100% Economy and Research but I can live with it.

Sure hope Drogue pops in to vote

[Cedayon]

Uh oh, Green's winning... if we go Green 30/00/70 our economy's screwed... oh well.

[Aaron Blackwell]

Voted FM :

Though I would be more in favor of a Green Economy, I say it is far too soon to cancel out Free Market right and not give it a few years to prove either its effectivenss or its lack of thereof.

When we'll have more bases and infecciency and Eco damage start to occurs, then it will be a more appriopriate time to switch to green.

Just my 2 cents

eco damage won't occur until we get mineral-enhancing facilities, because almost every base now has a hybrid forest

I think we have it in us if we got enough crawlers together and pumped, say, TA's mineral output into the 40's or 50's... but in general, yea, it's getting pretty hard for us to generate ED.

I voted early on. Green, as if I needed to say that. I still check the boards everydays, and also voted against all the Finnish Boreholes

[Method]

to steal a phrase

"Green: so evil, it's almost finnish!"

[Maniac]

This is the last time I'll abstain in a SE poll...
Now FM is on top again.
