  • Official: Should we allow TKG's land-raising plan?

    The plan was described in the following pm I received from Our Holy Emperor:


    my lord DIA,

    as part of my constant struggle to improve the mineral productions in all my bases, i have formulated an evil scheme to do just that, but does not involve unethical facilities. yes, that's right, i plan to raise parts of the freshwater sea and Sea of >long M-word<

    first of all, UNPD and ZG:

    step 1: raise the tile the borehole is on. this raises all adjacent tiles, marked in green. those can be forested.

    step 2: raise the tiles in yellow (now land). this makes all the tiles inside the blue area land. this allows me to put boreholes E of ZG and SE SE of UNPD, all the while increasing mineral output because of the forests i'd be creating.

    then, down south in Xanadu.
    same deal: raise the red tile. this makes the green tiles land

    step 2: raise the yellow tile. you get it. more boreholes and forest

    as you can see, this leaves all 3 bases still with water access should they need to build ships or whathaveyou. also note that no boreholes will be destroyed as a result of raising land.

    all the plan needs is your approval, unless you think something this big needs more discussion or a poll

    -=End Transmission=-

    This will be a 2 day poll, so that the results will be ready in the event of a wednesday turnchat/turnthread.

    The poll options are as follows:
    -Yes, allow both sections (FWS and Xanadu) of the plan.
    -Yes, but only allow the FWS section of the plan.
    -Yes, but only allow the Xanadu section of the plan.
    -No, do not allow the plan.
    -Write-in
    -Xenobanana

    Votes for the first option will "count" as votes for the 2nd and 3rd options if "No" does not win clearly.

    Once again, you have 2 days.

      Rasing land is way cool. Go ahead!

          No, and not just no, hell no

          This will be a 2 day poll
          Isn't that unconstitutional? Min poll time is 3 days IIRC?

              from the constitution:

              Official:

              May only be started by a government official. Must have official in the subjectline, and must be used as information gathering or decision making

              Poll:
              *Abstain
              *Write-in-option
              *Minimum of 2 days
              *Maximum of 7 days
              *Clear and not biased question and answers
              I normally prefer to give at least 3 days, but if we're going to be having a turnchat/turnthread on wednesday...

              edit - I voted yes to represent TKG's vote... though I would have voted yes anyway.

                Well GT hasn't confirmed that yet at all. And there aren't orders either.

                  I know, I'm just trying to do my part to be ready. You could hold the chat/thread too, right? If you want to, that is... I think GT wouldn't mind the break from moving all 103 (and counting) of our formers

                    I most certainly would not be unhappy about a break from that. Go right ahead with the chat.

                          If it means more minerals to pump into my beloved Machines of Peace, then of course. Plus if I can still get sea-based Platforms of, er, Life and Construction, then I am happy.

                            It seems a waste to lose the food of the freshwater sea, and so many years' chiroforming effort. Instead, why not drop some formers on that island west of Xanadu and raise it up? Start with the southernmost point of the island (thus losing one sea-formed square), then move south and repeat - the process will create a land bridge to the island (which the current plan does not), adding territory to your Region.

                              Just so you all know where this is headed (since I was somewhat unclear on how the votes count), the current standing (7-0-2-5) means that:

                              The vote is split (7-7) on the FWS section of the plan, and
                              The vote is in favor (9-5) on the Xanadu section of the plan.
