Walk with Planet!

Ugh. Time to go to bed (5:46 AM local time). I'm seeing things in two.
Then again, a repolling might be in order - I voted UoP the last time but I think I'll go for the Consciousness this time. The idea of getting cybernetic augmentation and eternal logical longevity has it's points. Emotion sucks.Cake and grief counseling will be available at the conclusion of the test. Thank you for helping us help you help us all!Comment

Consciousness out in front! Yay!"Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

My god, everybody wants to become a computer with no emotions...are you all mad?What do I care about your suffering? Pain, even agony, is no more than information before the senses, data fed to the computer of the mind. The lesson is simple: you have received the information, now act on it. Take control of the input and you shall become master of the output.Comment

No way. Anyway, Aki isn't 100% emotionless - haven't you ever seen her get mad at you after committing an atrocity? And just imagine what it'd be like to have a computer living in your brain...you'd be able to do all sorts of calculations, have enhanced abilities, everything!"Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

But the question remains: Who is in control? You? Or the AI you're sharing your brain with?
Personally, I'd think that the latter would hold more control."Corporation, n, An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility." -- Ambrose Bierce
"Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." -- Benjamin Franklin
"Yes, we did produce a near-perfect republic. But will they keep it? Or will they, in the enjoyment of plenty, lose the memory of freedom? Material abundance without character is the path of destruction." -- Thomas JeffersonComment

I think definitely the individual. I'd go through the whole process of explanation, but it'd probably be quicker if you just read Unity (do a search in the AC-fiction forum)."Love the earth and sun and animals, despise riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labor to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning God, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown . . . reexamine all you have been told at school or church or in any book, dismiss whatever insults your own soul, and your very flesh shall be a great poem and have the richest fluency" - Walt WhitmanComment

The Gaians, for... obvious reasons.
If not the Gaians, then the University or the Pirates (Yarrr!

As long as she shaves her armpits. Unless you go for that "natural" look, that isThe Gaians, for... obvious reasons.
Besides the glorious BeerDrinkers, I go for Gaians, then the peacekeepers. I'm a lover, not a fighter. I like both of them for pacifist tendencies. And im sure the Gaians make a kick-ass home-made beer.

Sporeflower Malt Liquor.
Pirates. Not only because they prolly drink beer but because of their flexibility. And with the marine detatchment ability, you definitely control the sea. And the amount of energy you get (minus the fact that solar collecter farms and borehole plantations produce more) is absolutely astounding. Besides, since you're so mobile, shouldn't be difficult to find a nice island to make your collector farms anyway. And foil supplies are pretty cheap. Easy to rush build or crawl resources. No need to pepper the area with roads, obviously. One more terraforming step not necessary.
