This whole 'negative voting' thing seems unnecessary... Just don't vote for things you don't want to happen.

It allows people who feel strongly about something to voice their concerns...

Given that we're not limited to a single vote though, people could just gang up and negative vote anything they disliked.

Which is why negative votes are counted separately. They are not given the same weight, but if 2 people want to go up, two people want to go down, and three people want to stand still, but all of the people who want to go up or down are adamant about moving, then negative votes are a convenient method of depicting it. Would you rather people add a new option of *do not do the above* and then voted positively on that?

I think I'll just stop voting and watch the story instead. Its gotten far too serious for me.

That is sort of a problem that I have noticed with the voting. It forces a relatively plain description of intent which negates the need for the more spontaneous responses that may have occurred otherwise. But there is nothing stopping folk from just describing their intent regardless.
...

I want to do some experimenting, I want to make a pool of liquid crystals in the bottom of the pit to the right and see if liquid crystals will work in place of low crystals for the purpose of medium crystals requiring a sheath of crystal. It would also be interesting to see what the properties of low crystals suspended in liquid crystals would be. Additionally, experimenting with deliberately over-loading a crystal's energy capacity would be interesting. But I seem to remember that crystals cannot be over-loaded...

Ah, yes. This game is very mechanical in nature, so I think a less ambiguous and more concrete system works well, but it does have its downsides.

At this point you do have some spare energy every cycle, so Im gonna try to do more things that dont conflict with the main direction of the rest of the votes. Spending around 700 energy to test something is low-cost compared to the 100000 energy you get every cycle.

Actually, you have so much energy that I might as well give everyone a bit of it. So, new rule in voting. If something takes around 2000 energy or less and doesnt get vetoed, then it just gets done. You can mark these with an [M] if you wish to do so, but its not required. If an [M] is present, then I will look through the posts for any specifics on that particular thing. For example
Code: [Select]
Attempt to build low-quality crystal suspended in liquid crystal.[M][1] [RAM]Would make me look through the thread until I find RAMs post and what he specifically wants to do. And because its cheap, then I just do it regardless of votes.

Basically you can go nuts, as long as it isnt too expensive.

See maps! And a bump!

This is one of my favourite forum games. Greatly executed, unique concept with pixel art. :)
