Official: Should Genejack factories be allowed?

Cedayon · March 7, 2003, 17:53

This has been discussed (primarily in the DLP thread), so it's time to poll it:

Should we allow the construction of Genejacks?

- Yes.
- Yes, but each one must be polled before construction can begin.
- No.
- Write-in
- Xenobanana

edit- a three day poll this is.

yes, they're evil, there's no denying it. but too useful to pass up. i vote "yes, but poll each one"

Lemmy · March 7, 2003, 18:19

I immediately voted yes when i read that TKG called them evil

Method · March 7, 2003, 18:30

hey lemmy! free market is evil!

EDIT: do not quote me on that

Well, I wasn't planning on having a sig, but that's almost too good to pass up

Yes, but have them polled. If the people really don't want them, they can just vote them down when they're requested.

My thoughts exactly. At least with that option the people will be able to "change their mind" without having to petition for a re-poll of this some weeks down the line.

That said, I'm voting Yes, but they must be polled.

Voltaire · March 7, 2003, 22:40

For the record I voted yes simply because we should have the option of using Genejacks. I didn’t vote for the second option of having the decisions polled given that it would slow thing down. I believe that they should be polled, but rather than polling for each one have the governors poll once to see if people will allow them to construct it and the rest leave it up to the governors (that is should the governors choose to use Genejacks).

Drogue · March 8, 2003, 12:08

Voted no. Genejacks, as TKG stated, are evil. Evil is not allowed in the UN (unless it's properly polled of course

). Evil+pollution=very evil

Is it just me or is our faction looking more and more like the US each day. FM, War with factions we brand ad evil, an all out for industrial production, without caring about the environment...

It's just you. Let's examine what we have that the US doesn't:

1) Knowledge values, not wealth.

2) No pollution.

3) No ridiculous anti-terrorist laws.

4) Psych spending.

5) No sending our miltiary to intervene around the world for no reason.

6) No forcing other nations to adopt the same economic policies as us.

7) We actually care about Democracy.

8) A market system that actually works.

The middle option is doing surprisingly well... not so surprising, I suppose, since it's the most democratic option... I'm predicting a 4-to-5-part poll from Archaic sometime in the near future

DeathByTheSword · March 9, 2003, 09:28

GeneJack.....very naughty word.....

ok well YES.....as long as we build 2 planet busters for every Genejack factory

I agree, but if some gov's want to try pushing some Gennies through, it appears they'll be welcome to try.

No. We're not some totalitarian commie state yet.

You forgot what they have and they dont have :

1. George W. Bush...

GeneralTacticus · March 9, 2003, 20:40

How could I have forgotten him

Archaic · March 9, 2003, 23:53

Nah. Yang's an Athiest. Brimstone Bush couldn't pull off an act like that.

GeneralTacticus · March 9, 2003, 23:55

Well, the alternative is a bit scary - is Miriam Bush?

You might be surprised by the kind of acts some can pull off... but yea, it'd be a stretch for Bush, his talents lie elsewhere.

Pandemoniak · March 10, 2003, 04:04

Or he has been killed by the Hive during the invasion of the University, remaining late in the Libraries and the Network Nodes in order to finally achieve his childhood favourite book : "The Very Very Hungry Caterpillar".

lucky22 · March 10, 2003, 16:05

Asylum! Asylum!

Cedayon · March 10, 2003, 18:57

Poll closed, result:

Governors, if they want to build Genejack Factories, must first poll them.

Any questions?
