@Vash ... in the HC term limit vote, you said you agreed with my logic and then voted for the thing I was campaigning against. Is that a mistake?

I thought the cool down term was the check on re-election.

I submitted two accidental HC votes...please disregard the two at the bottom with my name attached.

@Vash bo's logic was that if the term limit was 1 consecutive then candidates wouldn't spend their term campaigning.

I think he's just taking the final vote cast as the one that matters, murray.

I was saying that the HC should be limited to one term consecutively so that they don't get caught up campaigning for themselves in their second term while they should be doing their job. I'm not sure what the logic is behind letting someone have two terms in a row because then it guarantees that a huge portion of their first term will be filled with distractions.

The cool-down time is largely arbitrary in my opinion. I just voted on that for the sake of keeping a decent rotation.

I am which is why I told him to simply vote again if the one I selected was wrong.

The HC Term limits poll has passed 24 hours, so I think it's already locked anyway.

@abge ... are the tasks things that we need to vote on and/or organize or are they things already happening?

HR, I'm sure the Magistrate could tell us if there are currently women in the workforce. That, I suspect is the reason we have so few workers.

Surely those chickens will be producing Eggs as well, Abge.

@HR- I thought it was an hour left. but I agree it should be locked an hour doesnt change much here. .

Farmer: What is an egg but a small chicken?

Magistrate: The list of tasks are what I will implement at the end of the phase. Unless otherwise noted, they will require no additional input from the Council.

Magistrate: The current workforce is currently comprised of both men and women.

The timestamps tell me it's been 25 hours, and I thought they were accurate to my timezone, or are they not?

Final decision in the HC Term limit ballot is: The HC will be elected annually and is limited to 2 consecutive terms; however after serving 2 consecutive terms the HC will be required to wait another 2 terms before being elected.

Thanks.

If the current workforce is composed of both men and women, then we need to get more people working ASAP. Once we are settled in, we ought to make that a priority.

@HR- you are probably right. I am going off of memory on that one.

Agreed with Bo. There can't be 500+ elders, children and pregnant/new mothers. So the census will tell us where there are people we can add to the workforce.

Well assuming the age demographics of a developing land, it is very likely that approximately 50% are children/elders.

Let's get the census back then and wait to see what we have to deal with.

I am perplexed by this idea that you shouldn't put the precious children to work! what else do you think they are going to be doing? Playing XBox? (Yes...indeed...I had a vision last night...strange object and visions of bright, flashing worlds....most bizarre...)

Idle hands and all that. The children should have responsibilities.

They should be receiving an education, but we simply haven't established an educational system yet as far as I know.

Krellin, I think most of us agree, but there is a limit to how much a six year old can do. We need the census to give us demographics. We also need to implement child labor as painlessly as possible so that the children and parents do not push back.

I agree that in a advanced civilization children should be educated, but in our current situation we have nothing for them to do and to establish an education system (a luxury) before we establish extreme surplus is ill advised. So in the meantime between becoming advanced and now we have children who are not working.

I agree we should wait for the census I just think that we should also remember the time period this takes place in.

We need the census to appropriately decide where children can work safely and where they can't. Telling the five year olds to cut down trees will probably not be popular with the colonists.
