Agreed. It feels like if you aren't a scientist or engineer, your role in this game is limited. Based on EF's last post, that seems to be the direction this is going in. If I had known my role would be so restricted, I wouldn't have signed up and wouldn't be investing as much time in this. |

Chill out. There's going to be plenty more to think about. It's not like I suddenly have a mass of options available to me.

Or you're a very cunning one. |

I'll post all this without looking at the actual facts to start with.
My theory is that a) The saboteur at the start would try to avoid the spotlight. I can't see them making a strong case for themselves to be a leader. They might put themselves forward but wouldn't want to push it too hard. b) They would probably be reticent about offering up information about themselves until they had a handle on what information other people had been given. c) I doubt they would claim to be top tier in any skill, even if they are, as that would put them at risk of being committed to a task which might impede their nefarious business. But I think that one is a bit more of an assumption. d) Similarly I doubt the sabotuer would push hard to to be put on any project as that would be likely to impede their chances of skullduggery. e) Almost certainly isn't Chief, unless there's already been a conversion and he got himself beaten up to gain trust. Not something I put past Chief to be honest. Under these circumstances I can see Chief being a convertee but not the original saboteur. |

a) Autumn, Grover, Zinto, Shoveler, timmae, thomkal, Chief, fonti, Saldana, Dangarion
b) Autumn, Grover, Zinto, Shoveler, timmae, thomkal, fonti, Raven c) I've gone off this idea because the list was too damn long. d) Ntndeacon (offered to work on Schmidty), Grover (offered to build Biodome), Narc (kinda pushed to be on Science project), GE (wanted in on science project). Gives 3) The Jackal 4) britrock88 5) Suicane75 12) JAG 17) Danny 21) SharkN20 22) CrimsonFox Drop Danny for meta-reason and that's a pretty decent little list. Given the weakness of D I think you could probably add NTN, GE and myself to the list. |

Obviously that list is very subjective but it helps focus me so there.
I think it's important to differentiate between people's legitimate personal goals and the stowaway's goals. People may well have goals that might not be in the best interests of the entire community but they still want the community to survive. I'm presuming that the stowaway doesn't want the community to survive. So somebody sabotaging the commuications isn't any sort of indication that they are the stowaway that's an action that is probably conduicive to a personal goal. The person killing Schmidty on the other hand probably is the stowaway or aligned with the stowaway. So I don't find, for example, DanGarion's wish to become leader but reticience about his background as particularly indicative of him being the stowaway (quite the opposite in fact). It doesn't mean I always expect to act solely for the benefit of the colony at all times but I don't expect him to try and destroy it. |

Regarding Chief and Danny I would say that it is vital that the primary work is put in on Chief. He is one of our best medics so we need him fit and ready to help mend others. Danny brought his condition on himself to some extent so I think he will have to wait.
The increase in injuries makes me wonder if we should try to rush the medical center through (even if that didn't work with government yesterday). But I am concerned that the lack of supplies is going to start really hurting all of us if we drag it out more days. Unless there's clear signs that the Biodome is going to alleviate that problem during the day then I think we have to concentrate on supplies. |

What do people think we should be researching?
My feeling is that medical won't help much until we have a medical center. As we don't know what advantages the biodome provides it's difficult to know how much we need agricultural improvements. Ditto offensive research when we don't know who/what we want to attack. Or defend against for that matter. But if we get some weapons sorted (attack research) then we could feel more confident about sending people out to explore the crashsite or the other ship. But if whoever it is knows about us then having defence is going to keep us all safe. I guess it depends on how long the research will take to reap any benefits. If its going to take days then it might be worthwhile researching medical stuff. |

Narc, while I get your list is preliminary above, I think it's s decent place to begin.
For completing the government building today, I would consider going with the people that successfully completed the biodome earlier (I think it was myself and two engineers). We don't have an option to gather supplies today, only explore or build/fix. With medical personnel down to 2.5, I think now is the time to get that building up. Research is tough as they're all tempting to me. Again I might prioritize medical in hopes we can give more help to the medical staff. Defense might be a good option also as it could indirectly help the doctors while potentially allowing us to protect our facilities as well. Agricultural I'm guessing might give a health bonus to all when completed. For exploration, with all the ominous messages we've been getting, prior to exploring it would be handy to have something there. Engineering design stuff looks pretty cool too. I think an improved generator would be a good place to start as we'll probably need extra capacity to make use of the places the researchers determine. |

It's still early. We started prioritizing research and need engineers to start the colony building process, and people getting hurt requires our doctors. When we start exploring and when the government building is up, there are likely going to be more roles for those with social / physical backgrounds. |

I have already stated that. I am simply the best that this group has to offer at science and research. I should be in the research center. Can we vote to change the leader at some point?

This will help sort through things... I assume Font will provide additional details on the contents. We should track this as an open item until we know more... Raven, while you don't have a lead role at this point there are any number of items you can help assist with. Narc's list of "suspects" is a great example. Pick a task, thought, or set of variables and have fun with them. These items need some overview in my mind; List of open items List of colonists and which tasks they are on List of ongoing "incidents" and who was affected Etc.

Looking for everyone's input on these items. My initial thoughts: Offensive - Not needed yet. We don't even have our colony in order much less going up against someone else's colony. Could be a long term value if we start now but with so many other things happening is it worth it. Defensive - This could be worthwhile. If the other landing party is a threat they could come after us. EF, can you verify the size of the ship compared to us? Medical - With Chief being injured this could be a huge time save for anyone who is injured. I also suspect that those of us that are weaker than the others will be affected by health issues more than the others. This could be good or bad depending what side of the fence you are on. Agricultural - This would help food production but how much of a need is there with the biodome up and running? We'll see soon. This could be a quick 1 day turnaround if we need to improve food rations. Less of a priority in my mind. Please discuss. Looking for others' thoughts on this.

So our next engineering project... looking for feedback.
Choices: Improve Communications - I am for this, but I think we need to fix communications before this becomes an option. That's why my choice for next job is to fix communications. We need an uplink with Earth again. Improved Generator - Better power supply, could be very useful since we have more and more systems going. Improved Science Center - Another good option, but do we need to upgrade right away? _________ Some other thoughts: We need to keep Chief alive to see if he has any idea who may have done this to him. It could provide a clue to the stowaway or Schmidty's killer.

Engineering thoughts...
Communications could be key... knowledge of what we are up against, what can be done, any surrounding events, etc from earth. Also colonists history and possible feedback on stowaway. This is my #1 choice. Generator - Could be good but not a need item at this point. Science Center - I would love this to happen but again not a need item at this point.

timmae - as far as your research projects go, I think defense should be the top priority. We need to protect ourselves before we go out on the offensive and leave the base vulnerable.
this is starting to feel like X-Com. I like that.

Are we starting to spread the troops thin? Between the landing craft, biodome, research center, treating injuries, guarding solar collectors (are we doing this??) and other stuff (death being the ultimate drain) I am very confused/concerned about labor resources. Can someone track this as we are going? Is this a concern for the group? I am most paranoid about voting for action items that will further drain the staff we have available.

We have three guys in the research center, I know that.
I know myself, Jackal and saldana helped BUILD the Biodome, but are we effectively still working in it? Is anybody working it?
