Drone Unification Poll

[Mead]

We have thought about it, we have talked about, we have debated. soon we could to war side-by-side with our Pact Brothers. I now suggest we vote.

The Poll contain several options.

Our union with the Drones will go only as far as a majority of of people want it to go.

For example:
If 1 says no union, 3 say exchange ambassodors with unlimited access to forums and saves, and 3 say full unification then, we only go as far as exchange ambassors.

We only go as far as a majority of the people are willing to go.

I¡¯d like it to be formal association while we still maintain sovereignty. Sort of like the European Union with a rotating Presidency between well me and Buster in this case.

As you know I am disenfranchised (I can't vote in polls).

Can you record my vote in the Hive/Drone Unification Poll for option 3 Full access of all members to Hive and Drone Forums and Saves?


Thanks,

Exchange a few posters. Military leaders from each side will need to coordinate, as will overall leaders. The diplomats for each side as well.

I guess that makes 3-4 people on each side tops. That said, I have no problem with any of these on principle, really. The door was already opened by CPU merger.

I suppose I'd just prefer to keep seperate leaderships and governing structures. We might have a joint coordination council composed of the turnplayers, political leaders, and military leaders from each side (one from each faction), but other than that we should remain distinct.

We´ve nothing to hide from our allies. I´d say there´s no difference between allowing one or all of them into our forums, so we might as well go with the whole team.

Open the forums! For the glory of Communism!

I'd say an exchange of mutual ambassadors would work best. I get the feeling that the Drones are far more serious about this game than we are, and would likely wish to keep some of the Hive's more infamous spammers out of their forums.

The retention of complete autonomous governments on both sides might look better for our PR - two allies teaming up to fight an amalgamated superpower seems like a better image to me, at least.

Finally, I don't really see any benefits to a full merger. We already have the embassy, anyway, which historically has only been frequented by the ambassadors, anyway. My gut tells me that's the way a combined faction would work - we'd both end up sticking to our own forums in the end.

I'm also guessing that the Drones aren't really open to the possibility of a full merger to begin with - so far as I can tell, we'd be the faction that would instigate this disucssion.

Besides, I'm in need of a job that doesn't require much actual 'work,' and interforum ambassador may be just right for me.

Hide everything. Do we want to Drones to know that we are seriously considering backstabbing them? Best not to let any of those scum into our private forum.

I voted for 2 but I'm not against letting more members into each others forum, basically whoever has the interest should be allowed. However I do not want to give out the team password to anybody outside of the team. In absolutely necessary I guess one or two would be fine.

When we get a result we could then ask Drones for a decision. The actions should be reciprocal.

I thought we were pretty serious, are we not?

Voted.

I wish for the Hive to remain independent of the Drone's but still keep warm relations with them. I don't want the Hive and Drone's to become the industrial version of the CPU.
