Re: Morgan Industries!
How about:
Time extension
'Events' once took time a few minutes have become so fast that they cannot be measured with a simple wristwach, with revolutionary applications across the board. Gentlemen, forget what your courtesans have told you:
Time does not matter!

PK for me - the Gaians would be second choice. The rest of the factions are fascistic - be power based on economics, science, religion, or otherwise...
I'd run off with the Drones in a heartbeat, tho - they're the most egalitarian of 'em all, methinks. Capitalism BAAAAAD - long live the people's revolution! *grin*
It's funny - alot of the folks goin' for Morgan or Yang are envisioning themselves as higher-ups... when you could just as easily end up a low-level wage- or labor-slave (and there would be, as ever, many more proles than otherwise).

What? No! Just fair and square competition over limited resourcesThe rest of the factions are fascistic - be power based on economics
I think it's pretty interesting to think that someone would go off with Yang, but then again, there's more opinions than one. With Morgan I know I'd earn above the average salary...they aren't randomly alloted you know...unlike in socialism

What might the unfettered capitalism of Morgan be like? Think 19th Century Britain, or late 19th/early 20th Century America. In these systems it’s great to be King (as Mel Brooks would say), but it would really suck to be a prole. I view the Gaians and PKs as being much more egalitarian. As for the Drones, I don’t quite see how that society would function since there would have to be some elite to make decisions. Or, it could be an elaborate ruse to lull the masses into complacency while Domai and his cronies get obscenely rich (but put on poor mouth airs so they can be 'one' with the unwashed masses).Comment

Don't you know that 30-80-40 are the ideal proportions of a man? 30 million (Euro, Pound, Dollar ...) at the bank, 80 years old and 40 degree fever. Morgan is ideal (except for his Longevity Treatment).That is truly the most hideous thing I have ever heard!, Morgan is old, just look at him! REALLY OLD!, yuck!Why doing it the easy way if it is possible to do it complicated?Comment

Ummm... Hate to disagree but I think the capitalistic elitism you speak to may or may not be a reality (in a SCIFI setting no less). If Morgan was played with no SE allocation to psych (read ammenities to the blue collar class) then maybe this would be how Morgan's faction would look.Originally posted by Hydro

But in actuality, according to Morgan's inherent factional traits I think we may be able to infer a different picture. Morgan's support hit is supposedly due to Morgan citizen's requiring more ammenities i.e. expensive tastes (assumes all population). Likewise Morgan's base population limit assumes everyone gets more than enough elbow room to live Very comfortably.
Now sure there is going to be a distribution of wealth and power, I just assume Morgan's faction is gonna have more of it to share. (Shades of Reganomics Trickle Down Theory).
OTOH hopefully Morgan's faction doesn't prescribe to the current U.S. business short term philosophy of cost cutting at the expense of long term growth (resulting in bumping up stock market prices at the cost of causing unemployment maybe this is a Market vs. Planned arguement), but I assume with the support hit this is not the case.
Anyhoo,
Jus' my spin. I'll sign up to be well off with Morgan.

The gaians of course. So I could capture and control mindworms and set them loose against the sprawl that's ruining the natural beauty of my state...
