Congratulations nuke both times you asked we had a decisive consensus with zero votes on non-leading actions.

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

Most publicly visible votes tend to end up with a rapidly increasing, effectively exponential vote count for one or sometimes 2 choices, mostly based on which is voted the first.

Uh. No? At least, not always. If that does happen, it is because the option being voted on is superior (in the minds of those voting for it). Votes can and do swing from one option to another; an initial lead does not guarantee it will be ahead towards the end.
Also, some people will not add their vote to an option that is far in the lead, precisely because they feel it would be unnecessary, or discourage others from suggesting alternatives.

Yup. One only needs to look at Forenia to see how quickly and drastically a vote can shift. The shifts were not always jumping from one bandwagon to another either.

And I'm totally guilty of not voting if the things I want have an overwhelming lead.

I'm not sure why it takes so long for OP to describe how bunch of rookies horribly died.

There's a few reasons for the delays
1) Getting back and getting everything in the back in order
2) Both sides get different reports
3) There's quite a few engagements, with a lot of new tech on both sides

I suppose we did send quite a few missions. I admit I mostly just want to see the result of our revision.

I hope both sides have a determined decision at this point?
