Well, forgotten has two T's, but I'm the First Officer of the Really Great Organic Technology, Engineering of New Biological Equipment, And Stuff, Thing. Can you get another T in there? No.
(P.S: I run the Bioweapons, Internal Organs; Growing Lethal and/or Desireable Organics Section of this project.)

As to hive: What do YOU propose?
Greatwyrm, you are 7 out of ten of the last posters in my new replies section. I wonder why.
I tend to post-binge. Open up the six subforums I care about, open all the interesting-looking threads with new posts (one subforum at a time), read, reply, go on to the next thread.

H.I.V.E.M.I.N.D. sounds like a cool name.
I know. However, I'd advise coming up with your own acronym because I couldn't get an E into mine. "Electrical," maybe? Heuristic Intelligent Vehicles of Electronics for Multiple Interesting/Notable Devices?

Harddrive has as pro that we could make backups of you. Tough i dont think it will be as easy to combine multiple people into a supercomputer as with brains.
Brains are more sensitive for a zombie apocalypse tough.
Hard drives, if possible; brains can break down and are harder to make backups of. Also, brains don't come with USB ports.

I'd say we use hard drives, but also store some copies into Dna, just in case a solar storm comes around and messes up the AI or something.

On that note, I would like to have large red AI shutdown and reboot buttons as well as having the secondary live support and airlock system being under manual control.

DNA isn't binary. Also, DNA is affected by radiation. That's the science behind the Hulk and dozens of other superheroes, and possibly the reason radiation causes cancer. We'd need a better backup...or, just figure out some kind of Faraday cage or something and back everyone up on a big, central computer.

Sensible, as long as people-AIs can't be turned off by pranksters.

They can store Data on Dna, and even extremely compact. 700 terrabytes per gram. We just copy the AI a few time, put the DNA into lead radio proof boxes(and freeze it, otherwise it falls apart). Of course it won't be binary, but we can encode and decode it, even if it takes a long time.

Wait, military?

I'll go for that instead!

I suggest you join the planning dept (at least part-time) of M.A.D. P.L.A.N.S (Military And Defensive Planning, Logistical, and (un)Natural Support)- aiding your military since I invented it.
Also: welcome aboard! Just please don't try brainfreeztm. For the sake of the last shreds of your soul....

On another matter, when would you like status reports, *crosses fingers* oh high and mighty leader? Monthly? Annually?

As for games, we are taking kobold quest.

Are you referring to me, or someone else in that question?

Just need some clarification.

Referring to king DZA. (I voted for Misko)
I technically outrank you, but you can be head of the planning sub-department.
And tactical consultant to the military. (if you want)

I, of course, supercede all of you.

Well, until Ace decides to come and put this stuff in, please. right this stuff down somewhere.

Done!
EDIT:
I think at some point we should run re-elections.
If you decide to go mad and make a parliament, I suggest we use a method adopted by the ancient Greeks: lottery. Put everyone's (regardless if they want to run) name in a hat, and have a fair, unbribable (might be asking for too much) person pull a certain number of names out. Those people then have to serve a term in office (a year?) as part of their duty to the twelfth bay, before passing on the reigns to the next un/lucky MPs.
After serving a term in office, their name can be removed/returned (1 time or many?) to the hat.
This prevents corruption (to an extent) and gets the views of the people across (but we run the risk of, say, all MAGMA  (or arts & recreation) representatives in at the same time.)
Or we could have a council. The way to get onto the council? Assasainate / win a fight to the death with an existing member. I do not support the second system of government.

Weekly. A month gives you all far too much time to potentially screw something up.

Also, careful with those fingers, friend. I would hate to have to liberate them from the oppressive control of your increasingly untrustworthy hand.
