Wait, put me up as ze necessary insane German scientist/mad mathematitian!

ETHICAL (Ethical Treatment of Humans In Cool and Atrocious... Lemons? Yeah, good enough. We have way too few non sequiturs around here anyway.)

[TopHat]

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

Weekly. A month gives us 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.

Weekly it is then. I'll be unable to compile all the details in a week, so expect much more comprehensive monthly reports. All reports will be made in the logistics thread unless otherwise stated.
As for brainfreez, the details of our current plan are in the logistics thread.

i think that Greek method would destroy us , because you can never know what kind of insane person will get the power .

Are you implying that it's possible for a leader to be sane?

I could get the AI to help you with those reports.
Statistics and such, to detect any faults that we may not have noticed and could indicate larger problems.

Thanks but no. I distrust AI, and anyway, I have a pocket calculator.

Well, I distrust pocket calculators. Far too similar to DF, graphics-wise.

when we will do our first launch to the space ?

Because explosions are dwarven.

[brainfreez]

i suggest we all create a huge nuke , hop in it and send ourselves to the unknown .

[miauw62]

Well, all the info on the monitors will come from the AI, so you dont really have a choice.
You could be part of the AI if you wanted. If you ARE the AI, you can hardly distrust it. It will not be a piece of coding, Wyrm wants to be the AI.

Volounteers to be stored on a disk and used for the AI?

I'd be interested to be turned to an AI, once the bugs get worked out and robot bodies are available.
How about: Heuristic Intelligent Vehicles for Multiple Interesting/Notable Devices?

[OREOSOME]

No, if we are to truly develop Artificial intelligence, we MUST be able to Control its power, otherwise if we put one of ourselves as an AI, we do NOT want a Insane AI in control of the entire colony and our rail cannons of Terran Doom.

[miauw62]

Whats the point of an AI if its just a glorified calculator?

[Owlbread]

I've tried to understand, by god I've tried, but my mind begins to melt and I start sweating in fear and anxiety. I will have to abandon my attempts.

[misko27]

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.

No. I like the current method.

It requires dedication. And, you can't do it all at once.

[brainfreez]

the AI would remove important things like creativity and if the AI has a mistake , it may act like a non-insane human , realize the truth and press the selfdestruction button (wich would send nukes to all our bases ).

[miauw62]

Remember, we are uploading a human here, so (s)he should keep his creativity, and the code could probably be made so that insanity is kept at all times. Being immortal should usually be enough to stay insane. I'll implent a failsafe so it always obeys The almighty president.

[brainfreez]

but if its human mind refuses because it saw news on tv where it shows all the horrors on earth and its creativity forced him to kill you while you sleep ?
