Hmmm, I find myself pretty torn here. On the one hand, I am a lazy rear end in a top hat, but I just can't argue with Owls on Drugs.

This goes for anyone else, please make sure you have a vote (abstains count, I guess), on all 9! proposals. If you miss a proposal, it will tentatively be an abstain. gently caress man, blame the guy I quoted. (And why aren't you ragging on his rear end, huh?) I'm like, way too couch-locked here to go back and edit a post, so I'll just have to say no to whatever that thing you just said.

Rogue0071 posted:Literally none of these would be any different than the impact of voting down the Justice Act and passing the One Turn Plan Then why the hell were they in the bill? If language has no practical effect but to make it part of public record that Evucks are doo-doo heads, why burden your legislation with it? Just save it for your stump speeches.

sniper4625 posted:A quick question - as a month will not be sufficient to properly sway the Andors (as far as I know), would this override the other bills calling on us to get the Andors to make peace? Technically it doesn't even call for us to make speeches! The whole bill is vague and confusing. poo poo, man, our buddy Quad-Head is a smart guy. I'm sure we can just him with the details.

Yo boss, check this out: wiz posted:It appears that around 5-10 million more are dying than born on Lycian each month due to the disaster. With a 54 month duration, this means the population of the planet is going to shrink between 270 and 540 million (it is currently 1.1 billion) before it ends. The only things that can feasibly be done about it is boost medical RCI to reduce death rate and building meat vats to improve birth rate. Sounds like it's time we encourage folks planetside to legalize Medical Marijuana and start up a new beef jerky plant.

Besides saving Lycian from a radioactive mutant owl disaster, what's the plan for our next proposals? realtalk: I guess you could add a rider directing Wiz to use whatever means necessary and convenient to stop the Burlusts and Thoraxians from killing each other. Missed an opportunity last time because everyone was over-complicating it.

There sure are a lot of people voting against the Peace and Love act because of vague wording. As if our previous bills were the height of legalistic precision.

Besides, if people want to be part of a low-effort party that actually proposes legislation they can just join the Owls On Drugs.

Cythereal posted:Depends on how you role play it, really. I've always RPed my Thoraxian as being perfectly okay with the possibility that the Thoraxians would have to be eradicated - abrogation of the self and all that. It doesn't have a dog in any of the legislative fights and I only joined the Owls On Drugs because of all the nonsense flying around about the non-aligned voters and the Lazy Bastards claiming me as one of theirs. And really, what harm could one drunk Thoraxian do to a bunch of stoned owls? Man, if you like, ate a whole bunch of shrooms, would the whole hive start tripping balls? Or would that only work if the queen did it?

Sounds alright. I think it would be cool if we passed a blunt or two to the Evucks to see if they'll chill the gently caress out, but for that to happen the rest of the council would have to chill the gently caress out first. Might be too late for this war anyway. Still, way better to invite your neighbor over to share a hit than to piss 'em off and have 'em calling the cops anytime you throw a party.

Honestly, I think Viscardus has a point. (Or I thought I did but now I'm not sure that was the point he's trying to make.) I think this game has a lot more fiddly bits and reactivity Rome did, so it's a lot harder to accomplish anything in this legislative format, especially with certain parties shooting down anything that is too vague. So rather than being able to provide general guidelines for how Wiz should play and maybe a few specific actions, we have to be super specific about every action we want to take, and then Wiz can ignore opportunities that arise that would carry out the spirit of a bill in a much more efficient manner, but since nobody predicted that specific set of circumstance arising he just lets it pass and we don't even hear about in until it's too late. It's kinda like if in Crete we had to pass legislation that said "Move the army to attack the hostile army in Athens" rather than "Fight the war until we have enough warscore to annex Thrace".

Just jumping back in to say that I liked what the Owls On Drugs party was doing until the big parties (and Sniper (Yes I'm calling you out on bureaucratic partiality)) came in and said "No you can't have any vagueness in your bills or we'll tell all our party members to vote it down and they'll follow use without thinking." I honestly think "Do whatever to keep the cool owl men from dying from radiation" is better legislation than "Spend exactly XXXX credits to save the cool owl men from dying from radiation". Even the clause 'no more than X' is pretty bad because it still carries the connotation that Wiz should spend X on that thing, whereas if you give general directions I have to assume Wiz has the sense not to blow all the budget on one bill, and instead only spend what is a reasonable amount for the stated goal. Because the majority of us have never played this game and have no idea how much poo poo costs or what is a reasonable amount to pay for a thing. tl;dr: Budgeting is super boring IRL, and it's even worse in forum games about computer games.

Rogue0071 posted:The OOD bill this session was "send all of the weak fleets of people we like to get destroyed a vastly more powerful fleet", it wasn't rejected for the budget. Some things do need a budget or at least better guidance involved - "make these two races like each other" could be calling for a paid dispatch which costs 4-6,000 a month but does it very quickly or setting up trade routes/attitude buildings which are free/give you money but have a very gradual impact with very little in between, you kind of need to let other people know which one of those you want. Honestly, I'd rather have legislation that just let Wiz do one of those based on what seems reasonable/his whims than to pick one, have it be the wrong one because I don't know a drat thing about this game, and watch one race get conquered because I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

Rogue0071 posted:Which of those is 'reasonable' depends entirely on what your intent is. If you're trying to set the stage for a long-term relationship, you want the slow, free route; if you're trying to just get the last few points quickly to get someone into the Fed or trying to avoid a war or something you want the quick, expensive option. Asking Wiz to pick between the two is asking him to decide the broad policy, which defeats the entire point of the legislative part of the LP. Making that kind of call, or a lot of similar ones, is something parties should be doing under the current system. If you want someone to look over your ideas and check the in-game feasibility of them, you could ask other people; we have a Skype channel where several people including myself, Visc, and Wiz are on regularly and can give game advice, for instance. I don't really check through each bill thoroughly until they are all finalized but I'm perfectly happy to answer any game mechanics questions I can if people ask directly in the thread, as well. So now you're saying I need to install Skype to participate in game on the forums? No thanks. e: to elaborate, you're not going to make this thread more fun and accessible to the masses by making us dedicate even more time and off-site communication to it.

No Evucks Is it possible to get a federation member to release a planet they're occupying? If it is, is there ANY chance of the released race ever wanting to be part of a federation that once occupied their home planet?

Tomn posted:To those voting for the Evucks - may I ask why not the Acutians? They serve largely the same role in terms of power, but also have the additional advantage of being useful diplomatically - a replacement for the Skylaxians, it's been mentioned. The fact that they possess less raw power is an advantage in their favor, I would think - the Evucks would find it easier to go things alone, while the Acutians would require both our aid and the aid of their future Federation members more. Are we going for the Evucks simply because they have the most actual power? That's power enough to allow them to ignore us, keep in mind. We have better relations with the Evucks currently. Also, they are friendly with the Peltians.
