I think if you keep going the way you are, Roze will have to declare war for the sake of the people! No alchohal! And now you're talking no chocolate, coffee or tea? What sort of monster are you????

Ban the tossing of gum in the fungal fields. It already trapped two worms!

Back to the topic...
If you wanted to make some friction in your faction yea, go ahead and ban it!

Well, I was sort of joking about the Chocolate, but perhaps in the foreseeable future Zakharov may ban Coffee or tea, but only after a people court debate on the pros versus the cons of each (energy boost, Drug?)

Good idea! Send a planet dream about that.

About democracy in the game. Considering that the rulebook states that a citizen/worker represents only about one thousand people then the early bases didn't really need democarcy.

Imagine this, you have just arrived on a strange planet you know nothing about, and you pretty much know everyone you live with. There is little need for a formal democracy, but rather a strong individual leader to unite everyone and create the beginings of a new civilisation.

Once the popualtion starts to grow a bit then you start to need more formal/representative means of governance. Hence democracy is introduced at the same time as childrens creches, at the time when you expect your population to start to take off.

We seem to have inflated populations (I'm really not sure what the actual system is we are using for population, which is why my faction stats haven't listed them in the admin thread) so I guess there is a call for more complex governments earlier.

As for me, i rather wait for the pirates to acquire the proper tech before considering Democracy or any form of government.

For the pirates, aslong Svensgaard keeps the faction happy, let them be themselves, no oppression, freedom and so on, he will stay in office. He is leader of a pirate nation :P and no other have yet challenge him for his position. I was hoping to the pirates to start out in pirating other faction ships and trade routes, but won't really see that at the moment. I atleast stole a ship from the hive

-Dr. Sergei Inkothob of the Data Angels commenting on Zakharovs idea to implement democracy in the University, voicing his concern that either he (Is just bluffing his idea, attempting to gater support; or he is counting on the trial taking a long time and the people forgetting)

What I belive is, that with a population near 200,000 Zakharov is nearly ready for a Democracy; 'he also believes that the other factions will make the Cyborgs with their 150-200,000 join him.'

Plus, he has been working on a project for cloning 'all previous data was lost due to ethical concerns', and genetic engineering to create humans from scratch.

These are ways he intends to increase his population count above and beyond the other factions;
Rocky Crag is hidden and took the research; so in say 5-10 years a breakthrough may be made there or in University Base and, barring a war, University population will explode.

Besides, how does a base get 10,000 people in a few years? maybe humanity evolved where children grow up faster, females stay pregnant for shorter time and so on. Hey, Humanity did discover the Longivity Vaccine back on earth before laucnhing Unity, what other simple genetic alterations they can do?

So far, the basics of alpha centauri universe is being altered the more this game goes on, especially with the mind worms and the story of earth nuked by a insane U.N. official. :P

way i increase my bases pops is that the one with most pop gain pop quicker, more people to multiple. bases with low pop take more time to gain pop. and so on.

-LordLMP

[DarkCloud]

The way my base grew was this; I started with, I believe 90,000 in University Base and it now has 138,000; most of those people are 5 years old or less.
So 50,000 were born in 5 years; the University also has been experimenting with cloning, so some of those people might be clones [something to be discovered, perhaps?]

Most clones would be between 15-20 becaue-(remember Data Angels and Cyborgs were once university citizens)
So the University, could feasibly have a population of 400,000 if there were no splits.

Good post TheDiplomat! - the log of the hive prisoner.

I like the description of the monolith effects and great atmosphere to the approaching attack - I'm hoping he escapes.

[Christantine The Great]

I was just wondering if Lal is going to call a planetary council meeting. He does have all active commlinks. (BTW: can planetmind have a voice in the council in the future or will it go through Lal?)

[DarkCloud]

It could be determined by vote once the council was called into session.

Where are the Diplomat and Cyber? I haven't seen a post by them in a while...

[Cyber]

Don´t worry, I´m here.
Last week was a exam week, and a couple of days ago my computer broke down.Now everything is up and running and I can continue the attack on the Hive.

[DarkCloud]

Bump.
