Everybody pay attention, because the following is probably one of the most important developments this thread has seen:
1.) The tech ceiling will be eliminated forever on March 1.
2.) After further review of Swat's mind control stuff including the science behind it, the existence of it, &c., I have determined that it will not be used at this point in the RP. Actions involving it or its usage are voided. There is a caveat, however. As of March 1 it will be allowed since all hell will break loose at that point anyway and technology will spiral out of control, this won't make much of a difference, and it could probably exist in the coming years.
3.) Aside from that, there should be no sudden outpouring of scientific advances on March 1. The tech year will not be jumping to match the actual year, it will be advancing by the current timescale of 1 day = 1 year. Do not make me regret removing the tech ceiling by abusing this. Technological advancement in the future is a fairly sketchy thing with little or no certainty, so when reviewing technologies I will base my decision on conservative estimates. I will try to be fair and reasonable, but I also really don't want to see the world plunged into chaos by this.
I predict that that third one will bring me a lot of heat both now and in the future, but I feel that all that is there is more or less reasonable and fair. Alterations can be made to any of the more controversial aspects with a vote, or at the very least I will take a poll and its results will carry weight in any decisions made.
The last few rulers of Erinaum have reminded me of the late Ivek Tuevon on various occasions.
The AC will aid democratic Klevinstein if asked.
