Firstly, because it seems to be happening systematically, possess is not spelled posses.
Secondly, we really should have conga-lined the votes whilst we could.
Thirdly, a vote:

I suspect it may be too late to correct the greater mass of people this time around. Not everyone will return until the next update, so you'll still get the 'bad' votes.
I'd suggest you make a note of this above the next vote in the coming update, and I -as well as others, assumingly- will take proper heed at that point.

Cycle 1000 - Elassi Congruity Science and Technology Development
Progress Report
Shell - First Layer
The innermost layer of the Shell, housing the greatest and fastest computing systems in the Congruity. Projects being resolved in this layer tend to be highly advanced, theoretical and experimental. Practical work is rare, as thoughtforms residing within this layer tend to be somewhat detached from society, which can provide odd results.
Current project : Entropy Studies
A question that has been pondered by thousands of civilizations. Can entropy be reversed, or is a heat death inevitable?
Even with our expansive knowledge of warp physics, dark matter dynamics and high energy quantum physics, we do not know the answer, or even where to look for it? The field of Entropy Studies does not seek to find a solution to Entropy. It merely tries to gather information just to figure out what questions should be asked about entropy, so that we may be able to find the answers that tell us what questions we should ask.
Mainly, it involves high detail simulation of simplified hypothetical universes, within which our thoughtforms then try to solve entropy. The most promising universe has just entered it's third recursion.
Estimated completion date : Unknown
Alternative Projects :
-[][First] Continue Entropy Research
We've spend centuries upon this research. Cancelling it for short term gains is not worth it.
-[][First]Trans dimensional Portal Physics
We've observed trans dimensional events for a long time, and even utilize them in some of our more advanced technologies, such as the Jumpdrive. However, these briefs forays in trans dimensional science tell us little of the broader picture. A coherent research of trans dimensional events may tell us much more and open many more opportunities.
Tells us more about trans dimensional events and technologies, such as the jumpdrive and other possible applications.
-[][First]Sentience Studies
Even after our ascension, after we uploaded our brains to computers, we've still not quite figured out what sentience just is. Are we merely the pattern that the computers suggests, or is there more going on. Some anomalous readings have suggested it, though it may just be a fluke.
Dive deep into origin of sentience, and what it may entail.
-[][First]Induced Hyperspace Resonance
Hyperlanes are the basis of interstellar flight. They're responsible for all FTL interstellar flight, with the possible exception of the Jumpdrive. Even gateways and wormholes are just edgecases of hyperlane technology. It's curious therefore to see that while hypertech has seen tremendous advancements, relatively little work has gone into the hyperlanes themselves. This research project seeks to figure out what exactly the hyperlanes are, why the exist and if they can change, and how?
Theoretical research into the existence and manipulation of the hyperlane network.
-[][First]The universal theory of Psychohistory
While psychohistory has been applied correctly on limited scales (and in fact, is essential to resolve timelag issues within the consensus) a universal theory has never been formulated. Completing such a theory would allow us to predict the fate of the entire universe, if we were to be provided with sufficient data.
Unlocks universal psychohistory, an attempt to forecast the universe based on advanced sociology,psychology and lots of data.
Shell-Second Layer
The intermediate layer of the Shell, housing a considerable number of Congruity thoughtforms. Located between the inner and outer layer, the Second layer finds itself performing the function a bridge between the two, translating the highly theoretical results of the First layer into practical results.
Project Completed : Ascension Induction Protocols
Though we have long understood how to digitize the signals and reactions that can be found within the Elassi brain, the ascension process is far more complex than that. Life as a metalform or a thoughtform is an entirely new way of living, with entirely new limitations, strengths and dangers. The ability to directly improve one's brain seems wondrous too many (and in fact, is among the most important discoveries made in Elassi history) but without proper care, it is easy for someone to tear their own mind apart even while making on the slightest changes.
In past, we resolved this with restrictions, lengthy lectures and cleaning up after those who failed and destroyed themselves. A faster, more secure option is too simply inject the required knowledge directly into the mind state of the newly ascended. Doing so without destabilizing said mind state was a challenge, but one which we have overcome.
New Projects :
-[][Second]Prototype Jumpdrive
Though we do not understand the specifics of the jumpdrive, we possess sufficient data to begin the construction of prototype vessels. This research project aims to create an entire class of prototype fast jump couriers, which can be used to support our fleet and as testing vehicles.
-[][Second]Advanced gateway construction
Though we possess the knowledge to construct gateways, they do posses certain enormous flaws. Primary among them is their enormous size, their inability to filter incoming and outcoming traffic and their grand resource costs. This project aims to resolve those issues, scaling down gateways and isolating them on our own secure network.
-[][Second]Deep Space Survey
Traditionally, exploration has followed the hyperlane network, but the vast majority of the universe does not appear to be connected to the hyperlanes. A survey of deep space near our systems could reveal potentially interesting results, even if reaching those stars may take decades or even centuries.
-[][Second]Practical Nanotechnology
While we use nanotech in factories and laboratories, most nanotechnology is far too fragile to be utilized outside these closely controlled environments. Adaptive and resilient nanotech can be developed, and could have enormous practical benefits.
Shell-Third Layer
The outermost layer of the Shell, the current boundary between it and the universe. Housing the greatest numbers of thoughtforms, it's research duties are mainly involved in figuring out how deploy various technologies to the Congruity at large.
Project Completed : Third Layer Construction
It has taken many years, but the third and largest of the 3 layers of Shell has finally been completed. With the new installation now operational, research and resources can move towards other topics.
New Projects :
-[][Third]Cultural Codex Updates
The cultural codexes of nearby civilizations is already extensive, but presents only the presence. If we gather historical data, it's possible to make a limited model of their society and figure out why they think certain thoughts.
-[][Third]Ascension Induction Rollout
The second layer has recently perfected ascension induction technology, which will render transfer into thoughtforms a much safer procedure by directly implanting the correct knowledge inside the mindstate of every newly ascended person. Implementing it could have serious benefits.
-[][Third]Export Safeguard Protocols
The Elassi Congruity is not particularly involved in interstellar economies. Or technology is highly advanced and therefore enormously desired, but such technology can cause devastation in the wrong hands. Implementing protocols that allow us to prevent reverse engineering and remotely control any of our technology could have benefits, though it may cause severe recrimations if it's discovered.
-[][Third]Large Scale Mineral Extraction
Planetary mining operations are efficient, but not efficient enough. With extremely high energy applications, we can mine and extract mineral much faster, though collateral damage upon the planets being extracted from is sadly unavoidable.
Relatively low immediate yield, and of indefinite duration. Main reason to take this is that we're probably not coming back to it if we do something else
Preparation for first contact. It'd happen eventually, we probably want any war to be for a reason rather than a misunderstanding.
Export Safeguards is VERY important for infosec
