I do think it was necessary so every election wouldn't make a sudden transformation of the Aviarium a thing. I wanted to give people an option to opt for some of the government changes people would find interesting, but I think a party would drop it if they lost the next election because of it. The Falcon Front doesn't care so much since it was their entire thing.

The Condign Entente are already falling to diplomacy, the Aviarium should finish off the larger threats.
Edit: And I'd love to see an AI-heavy successor game.
I don't think a successor game is going to *more* AI heavy, as the Aviarium is already pretty heavy on the AI side. I'm heavily considering a spiritualist-xenophile playthrough because I've been criticizing the changes to both ethics. The next game is also likely to be some sort of oligarchy with warp as I haven't tried either yet.

Synths must be accepted as our equals!
They're actually slightly superior in every imaginable way. Unles they get in the "Let's murder all the bags of mostly water" mood.

I never thought I would vote for the Hawk lobby, but the other parties policies on robots left me no choice...
As I believe some paths are simply to risky to even try.
Ah! But other parties would argue that someone else is going to do it eventually. Do you want your little [INSERT_SPAWNLINGS_TYPE] to grow up thinking the Aviarium Continuum is technologically behind everyone!?
(Hawk Lobbyists might argue that if the synths did rebel, they'd be far, far more dangerous than droids.)

I'm conflicted - I believe that the military plans of the falcons and the albatrosses make the most sense and I don't like the idea of giving synths civil rights so I put the falcons first. I too think that the falcons favor a strong central government over strong sectors which is the second reason why I put them first. But I fear the conversion to the type of government the falcons favour and try to install if they get the necessary votes so my plan was at first to vote for Hawk/Albatross but that would have not allowed the research of synths...
In the end it's a tactical vote because after looking at the other votes it seems that few people favoured the Falcon Front so my hope is that the falcons don't get the necessary votes to reform the government but enough to push their military plans and views on the research of synths.
PS: poimniocracy is supposed to be a mixture of the old greek word for "flock" (poimnos) and kratos meaning rule or power - so the rule of the flock.
Of course I didn't put much of a research in this and I bet it doesn't really mean what it's supposed to mean but I liked the sound of the word
I do like some insight into why people vote as they do. Tactical voting is something I'm interested to see, because you see the same thing in real democracies.
Well, as for your poimniocracy at least I enjoyed some interesting music while playing the last session. (Also "rule by flock" sounds like some kind of crazy Neural Network thing. That's borderline treason, sir!)

This is amazing. You're writing something really fascinating here. I'm on tenterhooks.

Much as I hate to leave the Doves and support a group as radical as the Falcons, right now they're the only ones speaking sense. Synths are not people, can never be people, and should only be allowed to exist inasmuch as they improve the lives of people. Giving them any sort of rights would be absurd.
I'll ring in the Falcon Front as they've taken an interest in your wisdom:
Absurd indeed. We'd call them toasters, but they can't even toast properly unless you overload their capacitors.
Why do I get the strange feeling that people are trying to get me to fight the rise of the machines? People couldn't possibly be doing that to make for an interesting plot, could they? Ah well, there's a high chance I'll end up fighting an AI rebellion if the Albatross or Doves win as well, and if the Hawks win, some other end-game crisis will probably pop soon.

We've brought down the last remnants of the old order in the Gurite Guardians, now it's time for the petty realms of this age to bow down to the Continuum. We have the technology, and they only have their knees.
Frankly I just want to see it all burn. Enslaved synths, endless war and dictatorship ? Sign me up !
It's not dictatorship! It's strong and direct leadership the Aviarium needs
(or an utter destruction of the principles of the Aviarium if you ask any other party, but what do they know?)

The Hawk-Dove coalition instituted many policies I was strongly against. The banning of genetically superior leaders is foolish and short sighted. We should not be focusing on enhancing droids, but rather on enhancing our genetic characteristics and those of the many citizens of the Aviarium. While I agree with the current expansion policies of the Dove and once again they seem to be very much a party I agree with in some circles, their domestic policies are diverging more and more from my own views. It is time for a change. Perhaps this new Stratocracy that the falcons have presented will allow for Neo-Bird people to achieve lasting leadership of the Continuum.

I just wanted to comment that this is an excellent AAR that makes the feeling of a broken computer all the more bitter in that I can't feel this magnificent saga for myself
I really enjoy writing AARs despite the workload added to the game. Beyond engaging with the community (best part, having it somewhat interactive makes it even better) It allows the writer to connect better with the game itself, remembering which wars you fought and how you deal with this or that conflict. In a normal game it all sort of blends together if you're not careful.
