Community Vote: Progress in the Future & You!
We're asking for two things to go up to vote, as detailed below, along with information on why only two!
First order of business:
Adding a "!open" and "!closed" tag to the Log Community.
The function here would be to allow people to choose to tag their posts as open to all, or closed to a pre-selected group. This then allows people to search through for logs with the "!open" tag if they're looking for new things to tag into.
This is a yes or no vote, with an option for "other" if you have strong feelings in some different direction. These tags will not be mandatory, but they would be highly suggested.
Second order of business:
Voting on the Official "Return to Exsilium/Reshaping Exsilium" Plan
Based on what we've seen as themes in the suggestions so far proposed, ICly and OOCly, people want to address these three things most: the genetic technology and cloning development that allowed for kidnapped Transports to be cloned and, in the future, have their unique characteristics spliced into the clone soldier pool of the United Earth Armed Forces; the development of alternative energy sources to pull past Earth away from the reliance or use of Nuclear Energy, particularly weaponized; and the influencing of Artificial Intelligence development, up to and including depositing some of the Initiative's current AI into the predecessor of the United Earth's AI to better curb and protect the interests of the Exiles, the Initiative, and the Transports through the last two hundred years of history.
Note: Each of these arcs requires smaller missions to run first in order for the big game-wide mission and/or event to be triggered, along with any and all large, game-wide changes each arc completion will bring about. These smaller missions may be run simultaneously. We are asking you to vote which arc be completed first!
1.) Development of Sustainable, Renewable Energy Sources outside of Nuclear Fusion
• Locating and setting off stockpiles of nuclear weaponry in the course of United Earth history
• Attempting to cut off the development of nuclear technology
• Introducing technologies comparable to the Arc Reactor, or other world versions of sustainable and renewable energy source
• If they wind up blowing up a lot of older stockpiles of nuclear weapons, looking into things like geothermal energy or projects PACER or Gnome that previously were either not as applicable or were just shelved
• Furthering notions of green energy in both developed and developing countries
• SENDING TRANSPORTS TO TESTIFY AGAINST DONALD TRUMP VS SCOTLAND OVER WINDMILL TECHNOLOGY
• Taking action against governments and companies attempting to weaponize these alternative energy sources
• Finding an alternative means to ending WWII
• Continuing to curb the use of chemical warfare as a "non-violent" form of controlling insurrection (as begun with the series of missions run by Kanaya)
2.) Altering and Controlling the Development of Cloning Technologies and Genetic Alteration Technologies to delay or prevent the execution of Project Chimera
• Pauper and help prosper those companies following the models which are preferred by the Transports some of these companies may develop into ne’erdowells when money/power is slid their way
• Introducing and enforcing a code of ethics within a stable population
• Investing in the companies whose stock options will rise and mortality rate could drop depending on how dangerous the medical lobby/old guard can get
3.) Finding the Origin Point of the United Earth AI, and Influencing its development and the Development of Artificial Intelligence in the last few centuries
• Inject a portion of the Initiative AI into the young version of the UE AI in order to buy time for Transport activities in the future
• A mission to the future to consult with the original benefactor of various organizations/inventions
• Influencing events in a key year for Artificial Intelligence development
• Pauperizing or bolstering the companies holding with the objectives the Transports find most profitable
• Introducing back-doors into the United Earth's technological developments and firewalls
We’d like to see a player vote to decide which of these routes, alongside an ongoing series of missions for funding known as Operation Vegas, would be completed first. We will be eventually running all plans, but the order of them is up to player discretion! Which would you like to see go live first?
Further details of each arc will be announced upon completion of the prior arc. (But as a bonus hint, the Cloning and Genetics Arc will cumulate in a New Las Vegas conference that'll totally blow your mind! Probably! Come on, it's New Las Vegas!!!)
Voting will be closed on December 5th, 2013, 11:59PM EST. Please ask questions below in the "Questions" thread so that we may make sure to see and answer those questions in a timely manner. This post is also an open space for discussion and/or brainstorming on different small plots and/or plot elements which could apply under these three broad arcs.

These smaller missions may be run simultaneously. We are asking you to vote which arc be completed first!
1.) Development of Sustainable, Renewable Energy Sources outside of Nuclear Fusion
This has been started in part already by missions run to help improve the solar panel technology upgrades to the Moon Base, and can be furthered by introducing specs for advanced energy technologies to earlier points in history. It may or may not include any of the following possibilities:• Instigating nuclear meltdown
• Locating and setting off stockpiles of nuclear weaponry in the course of United Earth history
• Attempting to cut off the development of nuclear technology
• Introducing technologies comparable to the Arc Reactor, or other world versions of sustainable and renewable energy source
• If they wind up blowing up a lot of older stockpiles of nuclear weapons, looking into things like geothermal energy or projects PACER or Gnome that previously were either not as applicable or were just shelved
• Furthering notions of green energy in both developed and developing countries
• SENDING TRANSPORTS TO TESTIFY AGAINST DONALD TRUMP VS SCOTLAND OVER WINDMILL TECHNOLOGY
• Taking action against governments and companies attempting to weaponize these alternative energy sources
• Finding an alternative means to ending WWII
• Continuing to curb the use of chemical warfare as a "non-violent" form of controlling insurrection (as begun with the series of missions run by Kanaya)
2.) Altering and Controlling the Development of Cloning Technologies and Genetic Alteration Technologies to delay or prevent the execution of Project Chimera
This arc focuses on the last three hundred years of Exsilium's world history. There would be smaller missions run at the forefront to lead into the main target, requiring all sorts of skill-sets in order to finally influence the course of events in a New Las Vegas Cloning Technologies Conference. Jaime Reyes has been gathering information in regards to Project Chimera. Side missions will be run to deal with the genetic alteration considerations over time. It may or may not include any of the following possibilities:• Capitalizing on the most recent historical conference on Cloning and Genetic Manipulation Technologies in order to sabotage, blackmail, and negotiate with the individuals responsible for the most extensive research
• Pauper and help prosper those companies following the models which are preferred by the Transports some of these companies may develop into ne’erdowells when money/power is slid their way
• Introducing and enforcing a code of ethics within a stable population
• Investing in the companies whose stock options will rise and mortality rate could drop depending on how dangerous the medical lobby/old guard can get
3.) Finding the Origin Point of the United Earth AI, and Influencing its development and the Development of Artificial Intelligence in the last few centuries
Initiated by Soldier Blue as he looks to make initial contact with the United Earth AI and pinpoint a probable origin for when it was crossed over from a back-up system to the entrusted leader of the United Earth, placing part of the Initiative AI in the system will buy time for all these other actions to take place. The next step of this phase would include investigating the UE AI itself, influencing the development and perceptions of Artificial Intelligence in Exsilium World History in the preceding few hundred years, and ensuring the survival of companies with policies that lead away from militarized AI's and toward more empathetic constructs. It may or may not include any of the following possibilities:• Track down the origin point of the UE AI
• Inject a portion of the Initiative AI into the young version of the UE AI in order to buy time for Transport activities in the future
• A mission to the future to consult with the original benefactor of various organizations/inventions
• Influencing events in a key year for Artificial Intelligence development
• Pauperizing or bolstering the companies holding with the objectives the Transports find most profitable
• Introducing back-doors into the United Earth's technological developments and firewalls
